KitchenAid Architect Series KEBC107KSS Electric Single Oven - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

F6 - E0 Return line not connected If switch pulse return line is not connected, electronic control will display F6 within 60 seconds after power up. Replace control board

Last night I saw the lights in the house flicker momentarily... This morning, I turned the oven on, set it to Bake and within a few seconds, the control panel reported error code “F6 E0” then shut the oven off. The control panel also reported "Lost communication...". I read on another site that this code may require replacing the control panel itself. Apparently, the momentary power fluctuation wasn't large enough to damage the electronics (since the control panel still works), but was significant enough to confuse the electronics controlling the oven. To fix the oven, I simply turned the 30 AMP breaker for the oven off for about 5 minutes. When I turned it back on, the oven worked just fine. Solution #1 recommends taking off the control panel, which voids the warranty. It's more likely that it was fixed just by cycling power to the oven via the breaker.

I found the answer by checking the Kitchenaid website to find the manual. My model is KEMS308sss04, this is found on the right door frame. Website is: http://shop.kitchenaid.com/assets/pdfs/literature/Use%20and%20Care%20Guide%20-%20W10162223.pdf
You can preheat oven, but then turn off to set thermometer. Put probe in food. Put food in oven and plug in probe. The digital light asks for the temperature you want, type it in. Then the cooking method. I used convection bake at 325. Hit START. (The first time I didn't stop the oven and it didn't work. After stopping everything and starting with the probe before turning on the oven, it worked perfectly. Good Luck.

Need replacing EOC board interface

Sounds like it is in the energy save mode or does the display go blank when the start button is depressed if so then probably a bad User INterface

Chances are that the thermal fuse on the back of the oven has gone out. If you used the self clean feature and then it didn't work this is more than likely the problem. If not then it coulkd be an element that is bad or a control board oproblem.

According to the manual, If the error code is a letter followed by a number, you need to reset the display.

Press LOWER OVEN CANCEL / OFF, UPPER OVEN CANCEL / OFF or CANCEL OFFIf it comes back it needs to be serviced call 1-800-422-1230.Please rate my solution, Thank you

Hi,
If your electric oven is taking too long to heat or just not heating up right,then check out this tip that will give more detail about your problem.

Oven Problems Electric Oven is Heating Slowly or Poorly

If you slide your oven out and take off the center panel on the back of the oven you will see the thermal fuse. If it's like mine, it will be located (looking from the back of the oven) upper right hand side. It's an oblong loooking part with two terminals with wires attached to it and two screws holding it on. Once you take it off, you will notice that it is flat on the back side and you should be able to see part # 9759242. Only reason I know this is that I have just removed mine and am going to see if I can find one locally. Same thing happened to mine after putting it in the cleaning cycle to clean up after the holidays.
Hope this helps!

F6 E0 means the switch pulse return line to the electronic control is not connected

The usual way to correct this is to replace the electronic control (clock).

You might want to check for loose or burnt out wires on the clock unit before replacing tho'.

Open the door about 3" this is the "vent heat" location. Lift up and out on the door, pay attention to the hinges and their position, so you can reinstall the door without any problems.

What would your problem be?

Hi!!
Follow this instructions to stop Self-Clean any time: Press CANCEL OFF - CANCEL OFF If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
If the control panel do not respond, the self-cleaning timer is over, and the oven is cool, unplug the unit from the wall outlet, wait a couple of minutes and plug it back in. This will reset the control board.
Keep me posted!!

This a 50 % problem of the probe and 50% problem of the PC board. It excactly as you figure it out.
the correct procedure in any case is to proceed first with the probe test for a couple of days and then if no diference you should replace the PC Board.
In this you dont loose anything since in the second case for a new PC Board then it is recomented to have a new probe also.

Yes the door has to be disassembled to repair the handle. In some cases you can just loosen the sides and top and work with it on your lap without removing from the unit but it takes patience and an extra set of hands is nice to have around. Any visible screws have to come out first. Eric

Hi,

The best repair is to replace the hinges and springs. If you do want to lubricate them do NOT use grease or wd40, these are flammable and do not mix well with heat.

Look up an appliance parts store in your city and pick up some high temperature copper or graphite based lubricant those are safe for use on oven hinges.

hELLO THERE
On some of these ovens they have a internal reset device that needs to be reset and this is done by unplugging the oven and waiting for one hour then plugging it back in and waiting for 5 min befor you attempt to unlock it.
Now on some of the newer model ovens all you have to do is unplug wait 15 sec and plug it back in for 5 sec then repeat this step 3 times ok so please try these and let me know how this goes
Best regards Michael
