Error codeF6 EA
ApplianceWall Oven
Maytag attaches F6 EA to wall ovens and describes a possible fault: the User Interface Control may be sensing an over temperature condition, or the wiring tied to it may be at fault. The entry carries no generation or model list.
Power cycle
Trip the oven’s breaker(s) off and leave them for one (1) minute.
Turn them on so power returns.
Look over the display for a minute to see if the code reappears.
Finally, check that the oven works.
Still showing F6 EA
A repeat of F6 EA after the cycle is the cue for a technician visit.
Need Maytag wall oven repair in San Francisco or elsewhere in the Bay Area? Reach us at (415) 649-2156, and keep F6 EA, the oven’s model number and the reset result ready.
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.
Plain language
What this code means
F6 EA points to a possible problem with the User Interface Control sensing an over temperature condition, or the associated wiring.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
