I keep getting the following error message: E6 F2 - what does this mean?

Hi dear.Please do the following if you know what you are doing.According to your explanation,F2E6 code on whirlpool oven related with following: F2 - E6
Cancel key drive line open
1. Check keypad connector for firm connection (keypad connects to control board).
2. Press CANCEL. If error code returns after 60 seconds, replace keypad (also called touch pad or membrane switch). Some models incorporate keypad in to control board as one unit. In this case, replace control board (also called ERC or clock).
I hope that solves your issue.Thanks.

Hi,


Perform the following actions to fix your error:

Check the connection between the touch pad (keypad) and control board (clock) to make sure it is secure. Select the 'Upper Cancel key ' function and wait for 60 seconds. If error code reappears then replace the touch pad, or touch pad and control board (clock) if all one assembly.

Thank you !!

If you replace the keypad and continue to have the same error you also have to replace the electronic control.

You can contact fixyourboard. com for a price to repair your control at a reduced price over a new control. It also comes back with a better warranty than anew control.

Your error code is for a stuck keypad. You can try pressing every button at random several times each to unstick.'
When the control board is changed on these ovens the keypad assembly is supposed to be changed also.

Hi,

Equipment is Whirlpool double oven RBD305PDS14 built-in. After a very stormy summer 2007, I thought a power surge may have zapped the control board. Problem initially presented on display as error & fault "E6 F2"; simply pressing "Timer Off" would usually clear this error & fault code.

However, some months later, the display would often go completely blank followed by the beep sequence "short-long-short-short-short" (Morse code: dit dah dit dit dit). No error & fault code would appear. Pressing any keypad oven control did not work at all in this condition. When power was cycled at the breaker panel, the usual "PF" with clock display did not appear.

[TURN OVEN POWER OFF AT BREAKER!!!]

After following the excellent information on "how to remove the control panel" posted in this forum, I first tested the "control panel thermal fuse" (refer to the tech sheet that should be behind the control panel once it is removed). It showed a closed circuit.

I turned my attention to the "flexible" keypad connector cable (error & fault code "E6 F2" is a keypad or keypad connector problem; again, refer to tech sheet). The control panel has a board mounted female connector with two tabs that may be gently pulled upward to release the flexible cable.

I cleaned the flexible cable contact area (it seats into the board mounted female connector) carefully with a Q tip and some isopropyl alcohol. I reinserted the flexible cable and gently pressed down on the two tabs (noted above) on the board mounted female connector. VERY GENTLY tug on the flexible cable to insure it is gripped by the connector.

After all of this monkey business, I re-mounted the control panel display panel on the oven and restored power. So far, so good. After applying power, the "PF" with clock display always appears. I am able to set the clock and press "Start". Over functions normally. The clock displays as normal and I no longer observe the problem I described above.

BTW, I noted the incoming 240V has transient suppression (no surge protection, however

You have a stuck or shorted keypad. Try Cancel/Off and hold for 10 seconds. Then push every key several times to unstick. If that does not work unplug range and remove the access panel, disconnect the wire connections, then replace them. If all these steps fail replace the control. good luck

When this code appears and display is going blank too, it is always the control board. The only option is to buy a new one or get it repaired. It can be fixed quickly and reliably. www.fixyourboard.com
