--- title: "Oven error code F6" description: "Dacor oven error code F6: The board keeps its calibration and configuration in memory, and that memory has failed its checksum." url: "https://dacormiami.support/error-codes/oven-classic-f6/" date_modified: "2026-09-12" Appliance type: "oven, range" --- # Oven error code F6 ### What F6 means on this make The board keeps its calibration and configuration in memory, and that memory has failed its checksum. Occasionally a power event causes it once and it never returns; usually it is the beginning of a board that is going. It is worth one power cycle and no more than that, because an oven whose stored calibration is untrustworthy is an oven whose temperatures are untrustworthy, and that is a worse problem than a dead one. ### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all. ### Which machines this one applies to Classic ERC wall ovens and ranges. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 5 of the appliance types this site publishes — coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, oven and range — and publishes none at all for freezer, microwave, range hood, refrigerator and wine cooler. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door. ### What to do about it - Cut power at the breaker for a minute and restore it — this is the one code where that is genuinely worth trying. - If it clears, watch the temperatures for a week rather than assuming it is over. - If it returns, treat the oven as uncalibrated and stop relying on it for anything that matters. - The parts availability question comes next, exactly as with F5. ### Where this goes next The job this usually becomes is [appliance control board repair](/services/appliance-control-board-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-6067](tel:+13053636067) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
