What F6E0 means
F6E0 means the oven could not execute the function, and there may be a problem with the appliance control board or its associated wiring. When one function fails while others work, the fault usually lies in the part of the board, or the wiring, that serves that function rather than in the whole board; note exactly which function fails, reset once, and have the board tested if F6E0 returns.

| F6E0 | The oven could not execute the function. There may a problem with the Appliance Control Board, or the associated wiring. |
What the oven does alongside F6E0
- One function failing with F6E0 — A single path on the board, or its wiring, has failed.
- Other functions working normally — The board as a whole is still running.
- The failing function starting, then stopping — A switching circuit or connection that cannot hold.
- Every function failing — A fault affecting the whole board or its supply.
What triggers F6E0, most likely first
- The circuit on the board for that function — First when one function fails: a relay or switching part on the appliance control board.
- Wiring from the board to that function — Second: a lead or terminal damaged by heat, often near the heating parts.
- The appliance control board as a whole — First when every function fails, otherwise third.
- A one-off fault — Last: a code that clears with a reset and does not return.
Check order for F6E0, and why
- List which functions work — Bake, broil, convection, light and any others your oven has.
- Reset with the power off — Clears a passing fault.
- Try the failing function once — If it fails again, stop rather than retrying.
- Have the board path and wiring tested — A technician checks that function's circuit and its wiring.
Reset and owner-safe checks
- Test each function briefly — Start each function in turn for a moment and write down which ones run.
Tools: pen and paperAbout 10 min
- Reset the oven — Switch off the breaker for a minute, then on.
Tools: breaker panel accessAbout 3 min
- Retry the failing one once — If F6E0 returns, stop and note it rather than trying again and again.
About 2 min
- Use the working functions meanwhile — If bake works but broil does not, for example, you can still bake while you wait.
Before any panel comes off
Safety
Switch off the breaker before removing any panel; a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. The appliance control board switches heavy current, so a burning smell, a scorch mark or a crackling sound means switching off the breaker and leaving it off until it is inspected. On a gas range, if you smell gas, do not switch anything on or off, leave the building, and call the gas utility or emergency services from outside.
When F6E0 needs a technician
Call if F6E0 returns after a reset, if a function stays dead, or if there is any burning smell. Tell the technician which functions work and which do not; it points them to the right part of the board and its wiring, and may mean a wiring repair rather than a new board.

Which models this reading covers
This reading of F6E0 applies to Amana ovens whose control reports a function that could not be carried out, naming the appliance control board or its wiring, as the table states. Functions and board layout vary by model, and a model-specific page, where one exists, is the better guide. None is listed for F6E0 yet; start at the Amana oven code index below.
