Error code F6E6 (6-6)
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

F6E6 (6-6) on a Kenmore HE, Elite HE or Global HE dishwasher: incoming water is too cold, and what the manual says to check.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F6E6 (6-6) may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

F6E6 means the incoming water is too cold.

F6E6, also shown as 6-6, tells you the dishwasher is receiving water that is too cold. It is listed for Kenmore HE and Kenmore Elite HE dishwashers, where a digital display shows the F-code, and for the Kenmore Global HE. Models without that display flash the Clean light in a function-problem pattern.

What the manual tells the owner to do

  1. Use an accurate thermometer to measure the water temperature.
  2. A reading below 110 degrees F means the water heater should be checked.
  3. A normal reading, 110 to 120 degrees F, points to the thermistor/OWI or the electronic control board.

The tech sheet for the dishwasher has a diagnostic test for the thermistor, and that test is technician work.

Codes that are easy to mix up with F6E6

  • F7E1: heating element does not work
  • F7E2: heating element will not shut off
  • F6E7: flow meter problem
