Error codeF6 EA
ApplianceRange
A suspect user interface, or the wiring running to it, is what lies behind F6 EA on a Maytag range. The entry is written for ranges as a group and singles out no series.
The reset in four steps
Turn off the breaker(s) feeding the range for one minute.
Turn them back on.
Spend one minute at the oven, checking that F6 EA stays away.
Make sure cooking functions respond as usual.
Either a returning code or an oven that stays dead means the next step is a technician visit.

If F6 EA persists on your range in San Francisco or elsewhere around the bay, call (415) 649-2156. Quote the code and model number and say what you tried. Background on Maytag range repair is on our site.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F6 EA may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
