What F6
actually means.
On a Profile front-control stove, the keypanel is the glass touch strip along the front edge. F6 is one of the keypanel codes on GE's list; the control is getting signals from the pads that do not make sense.

What to do when F6 shows on the stoveKind of codeKnobs, keys and display
A key on the panel was held down too long, reported a press nobody made, or stopped answering; or a knob's switch told the stove it was on when it was off. Water, a spill or grease worked in behind a knob is ruled out first, then the switch, the key panel and the cable to the board. If a burner keeps heating while the keys or knobs do nothing, switch the stove off at the breaker.
Usually leads toKnob and switch replacement
Stove knobs that are cracked, loose or spin in place, and the switches behind them that leave a burner stuck on high or dead, replaced at the knob, the stem or the switch.
Shows up asStove Display Blank or Flashing
The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for F6 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Dry the whole front control strip; spills from the stovetop can run onto it.
Press Cancel/Off, then cut power at the breaker for at least 30 seconds.
If F6 returns on a clean, dry panel, book a visit for the keypanel.

It usually turns into knob and switch replacement. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
F6 is not an induction element code. The burners may work fine; it is the touch pads on the front that the control has flagged.
