What F6E0 or F6E4 means

F6E0 and F6E4 on a Maytag electric or induction cooktop mean communication was lost between the user interface, or keypad, and the user interface control. The cooktop is not receiving your key presses reliably, so it may not respond or may stop. The brand's instruction is a one-minute breaker reset, then a one-minute watch to verify the cooktop works and the code does not display again.

Common causes of F6E0 or F6E4

  • Keypad connection to the interface control
  • User interface control
  • Wiring between the keypad and the control
  • Power dip that interrupted the link
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn off power at the cooktop's breaker(s) and wait one minute. 2. Restore power. 3. Stay with the cooktop for a minute, then press a key to confirm it responds and heats. 4. If the code returns, do not keep resetting; leave the cooktop off and call us.

! Why to stop there
  • A returning code points to a failing link, not a one-time glitch
  • We check the connections between the keypad and the control before replacing either
  • You get a written price first
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.

F6E0 or F6E4F6E0 or F6E4 questions
What is the user interface control?

It is the part that reads the keypad and passes your commands on. When the link between the two is lost, the cooktop cannot follow what you ask.

Are F6E0 and F6E4 the same problem?

The brand gives them the same meaning and the same reset step, a lost link between the keypad and the user interface control. We test the connection between them if either code returns after the reset.

Could moisture cause it?

It can, if water reaches a connection or the keypad. Dry the panel and try again, and call us if the code returns, because moisture damage on a connector needs a proper look.
