E6 46 is a diagnostic code for a Whirlpool gas range. This code indicates that there is a problem with the oven temperature sensor. The sensor measures the temperature inside the oven and sends this information to the control board. If the control board detects a problem with the sensor, it will display the E6 46 error code.
To troubleshoot the problem, you'll want to do the following:
- Check the wiring: Make sure that all of the wires connected to the oven temperature sensor are secure and not damaged.
- Check the sensor: The oven temperature sensor is located in the back of the oven, near the top. Make sure that the sensor is properly seated in its socket and that it is not damaged.
- Check the control board: If the wiring and sensor appear to be in good condition, the control board may be the cause of the problem. You'll want to check the control board for any visible damage or loose connections.
If you are unable to find the problem, I recommend having a qualified repair technician diagnose and fix the issue for you. Electrical issues can be complex and it's important to address them promptly to prevent further damage.
Well that's certainly worth trying first, thanks - last night it kicked off again with code 62 (heat sink sensor temp high), I'm guessing this could also be low gas?
Thanks - I've been pretty desperate for help on this, spent lots of $$ on installation and service so far...
