F6 on GE microwave ovens reports a shorted temperature probe.
Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so F6 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
Shorted temperature probe.
The temperature probe is shorted when F6 appears. GE includes the code among the faults for all microwave ovens.
GE’s guidance
In the event of a displayed fault, the manual’s direction is to have a trained service technician diagnose and correct the issue.
Probe-related display
A separate message, Probe, shows when the temperature probe is open or not plugged in during a temp cook function. Sensor faults live nearby: F5 concerns humidity.
