What FEE6 means
FEE6 means there may be a problem with the main cavity bake element or its associated wiring. The bake element supplies most of the oven's heat from below, so expect weak or no baking while broil may still work; look at the element with the oven cold for breaks or blisters, and have the element and its terminals tested if FEE6 returns after a reset.

| FEE6 | There may be a problem with the main cavity bake element or the associated wiring. |
What the oven does alongside FEE6
- No heat from bake, with broil still working — The bake element or its wiring has failed.
- Long preheats and pale bottoms on baked food — Weak or missing heat from below.
- A visible break, blister or scorch on the element — A failed element.
- A flash or pop from the oven floor — An element burning through.
What triggers FEE6, most likely first
- The main cavity bake element — First: the documentation names it, and elements burn out with age and heat.
- Its terminals or wiring — Second: a burnt or loose connection behind the back wall.
- Spills baked onto the element — Third, and not on the documented list: hot spots where residue baked on, shortening its life.
- A one-off fault — Last: a code that clears with a reset and does not return.
Check order for FEE6, and why
- Look at the element, oven cold — A break or blister settles the question.
- Compare bake and broil — Broil working while bake does not points to the bake circuit.
- Reset with the power off — Clears a passing fault.
- Have the element and terminals tested — A technician measures the element against the tech sheet chart.
Reset and owner-safe checks
- Let the oven cool — Inspect only when the oven and element are completely cold.
- Inspect the element — With a flashlight, look along the element for breaks, blisters or scorched spots.
Tools: flashlightAbout 3 min
- Test broil — Run broil briefly to confirm the rest of the oven heats.
About 3 min
- Find the model number — The element is ordered by model; the number is on the frame inside the door or behind the drawer.

Before any panel comes off
Safety
Switch off the breaker before touching the element or removing any panel; a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Never touch an element that has been on recently, and if you see sparks or a flash, switch off the breaker at once. On a range with a gas cooktop, 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 FEE6 needs a technician
Call if the element is visibly damaged, if bake gives no heat with broil working, or if FEE6 returns after a reset. A visible element is usually a short repair, a hidden one takes longer to reach, and on both the technician checks the terminals and wiring before closing up.

Which models this reading covers
This reading of FEE6 applies to Amana ovens whose control reports the main cavity bake element or its wiring with this code, as the table states. Element type, visible or hidden, varies by model, and a model-specific page, where one exists, is the better guide. None is listed for FEE6 yet; start at the Amana oven code index below.
