F6 — Keypad or Door-Lock Fault (Model-Dependent)

F6 is model-dependent on GE ranges: on the older F-code platform it is a keypad/clock-board fault (the same family as F0), while on many other GE ranges F6 is an oven door-lock error. Confirm which applies to your specific model — check the touchpad/clock board and the door-lock circuit.
