What F1 E6 means

F1 E6 on a Maytag built-in wall oven with a microwave section refers to the microwave thermistor or sensor, or to the wiring connected to it. The control uses that reading to know what is going on inside the microwave side. When the reading cannot be trusted, F1 E6 shows and the microwave may not run. The regular oven side may keep working while the microwave side is held back.

Common causes of F1 E6

The microwave thermistor or sensor
Wiring and plug connections for the sensor
Control reading of the sensor signal

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Let the oven cool first if it was in use. 2. Turn off the circuit breaker for one minute, then on. 3. Monitor the oven for a minute to make sure F1 E6 stays gone. 4. Verify oven operation, including the microwave side if it has one.

! Why to stop there

A sensor, its wire or the control can each produce the same code

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.

Does F1 E6 affect the regular oven?

It names the microwave side. The regular oven may still work, though we advise checking after the reset and calling us if the code returns.

What is a thermistor?

It is a small sensor whose electrical resistance changes with temperature. The control reads it to know how hot something is.

Do you repair older Maytag wall ovens with a microwave?
