Maytag Range Code FEE6: Bake Element Circuit

Medium · inspection needed

Code: FEE6
Appliance: Range
Brand: Maytag
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What FEE6 means

FEE6 on a Maytag electric or gas freestanding or slide-in range, for instance the MER7662WS0, points to the main oven cavity bake element or the wiring that connects it. The control watches that circuit, and the code means it found something it did not expect. It names a circuit to examine, not a proven burned-out element. Owners typically see the code on the display together with an oven that bakes poorly, heats slowly or does not heat at all.

Common causes of FEE6

Bake element circuit that the control reads as wrong
Wiring or connector at the element
Control board that monitors the circuit

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the oven off and let it cool completely. 2. Switch off the range's breaker for one minute. 3. Switch the breaker back on. 4. Watch the display for one minute. 5. Try a short bake and check that the oven reaches temperature. If FEE6 comes back, stop baking.

! Why to stop there

A repeat code leaves several parts possible, and only testing separates the element, its wiring and the control.
We check the element and connectors first, since those are the less costly repairs.
Many of these ranges are older and still in service. We repair them and tell you if the cost does not make sense.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

FEE6FEE6 questions

Does FEE6 mean the bake element has burned out?

Not by itself. It points to the bake element circuit. We test the element and the wiring to find out whether the element, a connection or the control is responsible.

Can I use the broiler or cooktop meanwhile?

The code concerns the bake side, so the cooktop usually still works. If the oven acts strangely, avoid using it until it has been checked.

Why do you ask me to let the oven cool first?

Resetting power on a hot oven can be risky, and cooling makes the visit and inspection safer. It also lets you confirm whether the code returns on a cold start.
