Code overview at a glance.

The facts for this Whirlpool error, a plain-language snapshot, and what to confirm against your model number.

Error code F6
Appliance Microwave
Quick answer

F6 means the oven could not execute the function; the Relay Control Board or wiring may be the cause. Reset power first.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F6 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

The oven could not execute the function. There may be a problem with the Relay Control Board, or the associated wiring.

An F6 display means the microwave could not carry out the function you asked for. The manual suggests that the Relay Control Board, or the wiring around it, may be responsible.

Try this reset

Take the breaker off for one minute, then put it back on. Stay near the microwave for one minute and see if F6 comes up again, then confirm the microwave operates as normal. This applies to over-the-range Whirlpool microwaves.

Control-board codes to compare

  • F6E0 names the Appliance Control Board instead.
  • F7 also reads as an Appliance Control Board problem.
  • F9 lists the Appliance Control Board and the Relay Control Board together.
