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

Kenmore dishwasher code F6E6 (6-6) flags cold incoming water; the manual starts with a thermometer reading.

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.

Cold water, code F6E6

This one (shown too as 6-6) comes up when the water entering the machine is colder than it should be. Applicable units: Kenmore Global HE, and the HE and Elite HE dishwashers whose display spells out the F-code; on the rest, a blinking Clean light does the same job.

Where the manual starts

  • Put an accurate thermometer in the incoming water.
  • Under 110 degrees F: the water heater is what needs attention.
  • Between 110 and 120 degrees F: suspicion falls on the thermistor/OWI, or else the electronic control board; the tech sheet describes a thermistor diagnostic that a technician runs.
