What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
The oven could not execute the function. There may be a problem with the Appliance Control Board, or the associated wiring.
Seeing F6E0 means the microwave was unable to execute the function. The manual points to the Appliance Control Board or its wiring as a possible source.
Step by step
Switch the breaker off and wait one minute. Switch it on, then monitor the microwave for one minute to find out whether F6E0 shows up again. Last, verify microwave operation. You can unplug instead of using the breaker.
Where to look next
Compare F7 which carries the same Appliance Control Board wording, and F6 which points to the Relay Control Board.
