GE Oven Error Code F6 — Keypad Signal Problem
What this means
The F6 error code on GE ovens means the electronic range control is receiving an unexpected or garbled signal from the keypad (touchpad). This can be caused by a defective keypad overlay, a loose ribbon cable connection between the keypad and control board, or moisture behind the keypad membrane.
Step-by-step fix
3 stepsPower cycle the oven
Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power. If the code clears, moisture or a temporary glitch was the cause.
Check the keypad ribbon cable
Unplug the oven. Access the back of the control panel and check that the ribbon cable between the keypad and control board is fully seated and undamaged.
A loose or corroded ribbon cable is a common cause of F6 codes.
Replace the keypad if needed
If the ribbon cable is good and the code persists, replace the keypad overlay. If that doesn't fix it, the control board may need replacement.
When to call a professional
If replacing both the keypad and control board does not resolve the F6 code, contact a technician to check for wiring issues.
