Hi,
Equipment is Whirlpool double oven RBD305PDS14 built-in. After a very stormy summer 2007, I thought a power surge may have zapped the control board. Problem initially presented on display as error & fault "E6 F2"; simply pressing "Timer Off" would usually clear this error & fault code.
However, some months later, the display would often go completely blank followed by the beep sequence "short-long-short-short-short" (Morse code: dit dah dit dit dit). No error & fault code would appear. Pressing any keypad oven control did not work at all in this condition. When power was cycled at the breaker panel, the usual "PF" with clock display did not appear.
[TURN OVEN POWER OFF AT BREAKER!!!]
After following the excellent information on "how to remove the control panel" posted in this forum, I first tested the "control panel thermal fuse" (refer to the tech sheet that should be behind the control panel once it is removed). It showed a closed circuit.
I turned my attention to the "flexible" keypad connector cable (error & fault code "E6 F2" is a keypad or keypad connector problem; again, refer to tech sheet). The control panel has a board mounted female connector with two tabs that may be gently pulled upward to release the flexible cable.
I cleaned the flexible cable contact area (it seats into the board mounted female connector) carefully with a Q tip and some isopropyl alcohol. I reinserted the flexible cable and gently pressed down on the two tabs (noted above) on the board mounted female connector. VERY GENTLY tug on the flexible cable to insure it is gripped by the connector.
After all of this monkey business, I re-mounted the control panel display panel on the oven and restored power. So far, so good. After applying power, the "PF" with clock display always appears. I am able to set the clock and press "Start". Over functions normally. The clock displays as normal and I no longer observe the problem I described above.
BTW, I noted the incoming 240V has transient suppression (no surge protection, however

An E6 F2 error code on these parts has always been due to the control board. These controllers can be repaired quickly and reliably at www.fixyourboard.com If buttons are not working or you get an F2-E0 or F2-E1 then it is the keypad

We repair these control boards frequently. The E6 F2 error is very common for whirlpool ovens and almost always is caused by the control board. It can be repaired quickly and reliably. www.fixyourboard.com

HI. This will be the result of a failed touch pad assembly. Use the procedure below to isolated the issue.
1. Once you have gained access to the touch pad assembly, Inspect the keypad connector for firm a connection. The Key pad will be connected to the rear of the man control board. Check the connectors for a firm connection. Move to step two if the connection is secure.
2. Press CANCEL. If the error code returns after 60 seconds, replace your keypad (also called touch pad or membrane switch). Some models may incorporate the keypad and control board as one unit. In this case, replace the entire control board (also called ERC or clock).
Testimonial: "This was the problem. Thank you! Using the self clean option can burn out the control board. "
Hi
F2-E6 Error indicates
a loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the oven temp. sensor itself is
bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue test the oven temp. sensor, it
should read between 1080-1120 ohms, if the rating is more then that and the door
appears to be closing fine then it is the control board that is bad and should
be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
