KitchenAid cooktop F0E6: product supply error
F0E6 means the induction power board found a problem with its electrical supply, such as the line frequency, or its internal DC voltage being too low, too high or unstable.

What the cooktop is detecting
The power board monitors incoming power and the internal high-voltage DC bus it builds from it. When a check fails (frequency, under- or over-voltage, stability or its own low-voltage supply), it stops and stores F0E6.
Causes listed for this condition
In the order the service documentation checks them. Documented causes come from the manufacturer's service documentation for these platforms; possible causes are based on how the system works; unconfirmed marks common assumptions that the documentation does not support.
- Documented A house supply problem on the phase feeding the power board.
- Documented Supply voltage too low or too high, or unstable.
- Documented An internal power board fault, such as a fuse track or self-test failure.
Safe checks you can make
- Switch the cooktop off at the circuit breaker for about one minute, restore power, and see whether the code comes back.
- Note whether lights dim or other appliances act up at the same time; a house supply problem points to an electrician.
This stage requires professional testing. Full diagnosis involves hazards such as live line voltage, gas, a sealed refrigerant system or microwave high voltage. Do not attempt it yourself.
What a technician checks
- This requires professional testing: checking the supply means measuring live circuits.
- Removes the glass top to reach the internal boards and connections.
- This requires professional testing: the induction power board works with high-voltage, high-current electronics under the glass top.
Typical repairs and cost
Depending on what diagnosis finds, this code can lead to one of these repairs:
| Repair | Typical range | Labor |
|---|---|---|
| Cooktop control or induction board replacement | $300–$770 | Moderate |
Typical total ranges for the Las Vegas area, parts and labor included. The final cost depends on diagnosis, the exact model, parts availability and whether other damage is found.
Can you keep using it?
Stop using it until it is checked. Switch the cooktop off at the breaker and do not use it until it is diagnosed. A power circuit that cannot switch off, or an internal electrical fault, is a fire and shock risk.

Repair or replace?
A fault code alone rarely justifies replacing a cooktop. Most F0E6 repairs involve a single component once diagnosed. Replacement becomes worth considering when the unit is near the end of its typical 13–17-year life and the diagnosed repair is a major one. See the repair-or-replace guide.
