JennAir Radiant Cooktop Code F6E0: Keypad Cannot Reach the Interface Control

What F6E0 means

F6E0 on JennAir electric radiant and touch-control cooktops means communication was lost between the user interface, or keypad, and the user interface control. The pair no longer exchanges signals, so the keypad may stop responding, beep or leave F6E0 on the display with no heat available. Pans and the glass surface do not affect this code, and the elements may be perfectly fine.

Common causes of F6E0

Keypad and interface control no longer communicating
A loose or damaged connection between them
A failed user interface control
A power surge that interrupted the link

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn all controls off and wipe the glass clean. 2. Cut power at the breaker for one minute and restore it. 3. Touch ON/OFF to see whether the keypad wakes. 4. Try one element on low. 5. If F6E0 returns, stop and call us.

! Why to stop there

Both parts sit under the glass on a live circuit.
F6E0 differs from F1E1, which names a different pair of parts, so the fix is not interchangeable.
A guess at the wrong part wastes time and money.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F6E0F6E0 questions

How is F6E0 different from F1E1?

F1E1 concerns the keypad and the appliance manager. F6E0 concerns the keypad and the user interface control. Each points to a different pair of parts.

Can I clear it myself?

A breaker reset may restart communication between the two parts. If F6E0 returns afterward, the link or one of the parts needs testing by a trained technician.
