A KitchenAid range showing FEE6: the main oven bake element or its wiring may need attention.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so FEE6 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
KitchenAid lists the main cavity bake element or its wiring as the possible problem for FEE6.
What FEE6 points to
The bake element of the main oven cavity is the part KitchenAid associates with FEE6, along with the wiring that serves it. The manufacturer calls this a possibility. It does not confirm a failure.
At a glance
| Code | FEE6 |
|---|---|
| What it means | Possible problem with the main cavity bake element or its wiring. |
| What you can check | Turn the range breaker off and keep it off for a full minute, then back on. Stay close for about a minute to see whether FEE6 shows again, and confirm the oven operates. |
| When to call a technician | If FEE6 returns, call for a service visit. The element and its wiring are electrical parts best left to a trained technician. |
Element or wiring?
The bake element heats the oven for everyday baking. Nothing the display shows lets you separate an element problem from a wiring one, and the entry makes no attempt to.
Power reset in KitchenAid’s article
- Turn off the range’s circuit breaker; keep it off for a full minute.
- Turn the breaker on.
- Stay close for roughly a minute to see whether FEE6 shows again.
- Confirm the oven operates.
If the code is back
A returning code means the range is still detecting the condition, and the article offers no extra owner steps beyond sending you to service. Because the element and its wiring are electrical parts, leave them to a trained technician instead of treating this as a household repair.
Bake or broil
FEE6 and FEE7 are separate codes. KitchenAid ties the bake element to FEE6 and the broil element to FEE7. A control-board message such as F03 / F04 is a different matter again: it concerns the electronic oven control and its wiring.

Does KitchenAid explain how to swap the element?
