What F6 means
On LG electric and gas ranges with a numeric F-code display, F6 is listed as an upper oven heating error. The control expects the upper oven to heat when it is told to, and F6 means it is not happening as expected. The oven may warm slowly, not warm at all, or stop and show the code. The list gives the label and does not say what is behind it.
Common causes of F6
- On electric models: an upper oven element not heating
- On gas models: the burner not lighting
- A temperature reading that does not match the heat
- A control that is not switching the heat on
1. If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside. 2. Press CLEAR/OFF, then repeat the step that brought up the code. 3. If the code returns, switch the circuit breaker off for 30 seconds and back on, and call us if F6 stays.
- Heat problems have several possible paths, so we test the heat source and the temperature reading together.
- We confirm which part is not working before a part is ordered.

What does F6 mean?
The upper oven did not heat as the control expects. The label does not say which part is responsible. That places the problem in the upper oven heat path.
Do F6 and F19 overlap?
They are separate entries. F6 names the upper oven, while F19 is a general oven heating error that names no position. What lies behind it can differ between electric and gas ranges.
Can I keep trying the oven?
One retry after the reset is fine. If F6 returns, stop trying. On a gas range, a gas odor means you should go outside and phone the gas utility.
Still seeing F6?
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
