Whirlpool Dishwasher Error Code FCE6

FCE6 indicates a problem in the Current Transformer B circuit, most commonly caused by a loose electrical connection. The control board monitors this circuit to track current flow, and when it cannot read a valid signal, it triggers this fault code. The dishwasher will not operate normally until the issue is resolved.

You should not continue operating the dishwasher while this fault code is active. The FCE6 code signals an abnormal condition in an electrical monitoring circuit, and running the appliance without resolving it could mask a more serious underlying electrical issue. Disconnect power and address the fault before resuming use.

If the fix is simply reseating a loose connector, the cost may only involve a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150 depending on your area. If the Current Transformer B needs to be replaced, parts and labor combined could bring the total to somewhere between $150 and $350. Costs will be higher if the control board is determined to be at fault.

Checking for a loose connection is a reasonable first step for a knowledgeable DIYer, but power must be fully disconnected before inspecting any wiring. If tightening connections does not clear the fault, replacing the current transformer or diagnosing further into the circuit requires comfort working with appliance wiring. If you are unsure, a professional technician is the safer option.

A power reset may temporarily clear the code, but if the underlying problem in the Current Transformer B circuit has not been fixed, the code will return during the next cycle. Resetting without repairing is not a long-term solution. The loose connection or faulty component must be identified and corrected.
