What 1c6c means
On Whirlpool built-in wall ovens in the single, double and microwave-combo families, code 1c6c signals trouble with the oven control or its wiring. If you own a double oven, the display is shared, so the code can show even when only one cavity was in use. The published guidance names no single part, which is why we confirm everything with a hands-on check.
Common causes of 1c6c
- Main oven control
- Harness and plug connections at the control
- Power quality arriving at the oven
1. Cut power to the wall oven at its breaker or breakers. 2. Count one full minute, then restore power. 3. Stay near the oven for a minute and check that 1c6c does not return. 4. Run a short bake and confirm the oven heats normally.
- Double ovens share one control, so we test both cavities rather than assume one.
- We look for connector wear before suggesting a control replacement.
- If the code clears and stays away, we will say so and not sell you parts.
Other Wall Oven codes
Does 1c6c affect both ovens in a double wall oven?
The control is common to the unit, so it can. After a reset, try each cavity separately. If one acts up, we test that side's connections first.
Could a power surge cause 1c6c?
A surge can upset a control, and the reset is meant for that situation. We cannot confirm a surge from the code alone, so we check the control's behavior after the reset.
How do I know when to call you?
Call if 1c6c shows again within the minute after power returns, or later in the week. A repeat means the control or wiring needs a proper test.
Still seeing 1c6c?
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
