What 1c6c means

A Whirlpool freestanding or slide-in range, for example the WFE515S0ES or WFG525S0HV, displays 1C6C when the control reports a problem inside its own circuit or in the wiring it relies on. It is a close relative of the other 1C codes but stands on its own. The oven may refuse to heat, stop a cycle early, or hold the code on the display while you cook on the stovetop.

Common causes of 1c6c

  • The oven control board
  • Harness and connectors leading to the control
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Switch off the range's breaker and leave it for a full minute. 2. Switch the breaker back on. 3. Wait a minute with the display in view. 4. Run a short bake to check normal operation. 5. If a gas range ever smells of gas, leave the home first and call the gas utility from outside.

! Why to stop there
  • The reset can hide a failing control for a few days, so a return of 1C6C should not be ignored.
  • We test the harness and supply to the board before we suggest a new one.
  • The price is quoted in writing, and the work has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

1c6c1c6c questions
How do I tell if 1C6C was just a glitch?

Use the range normally for a few days. If 1C6C does not come back, it probably was. If it does, the control needs testing and we are glad to take a look.

Do all 1C codes have the same repair?

They point to similar areas, but the display shows which one your range reported. We check that code against the range before choosing what to test.

Is a gas range handled differently?

The checks are the same for the control, though we add gas safety steps. If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.
