Rangemaster hob E6 error code
What E6 means on a Rangemaster hob
Communication error between the control panel and the induction power boards, usually affecting some of the zones.
Meaning checked by NAC's engineers, 9 November 2026.
What our engineers say
On a Rangemaster induction hob, the E6 code means the control panel and the induction power boards have stopped communicating properly. It usually affects only some of the cooking zones, so you may find that some rings work while others show the code and refuse to heat.
Engineers sometimes find a blown fuse on the filter board that feeds power to the induction boards. They also sometimes find that the power boards driving the rings themselves have failed, so the zones they control stop responding.
An engineer will usually try each ring in turn to see which zones bring up the code. They will then check the filter board and the power boards behind the affected rings. The repair is usually a new filter board, often fitted together with new power boards for the rings. Afterwards the engineer recalibrates the hob and tests that every ring heats properly with no error showing. These parts often have to be ordered, so the repair is commonly finished on a second visit once they arrive.

Before you check anything yourself
- Switch the hob off and unplug it, or turn it off at the isolator switch, before you touch anything. Our guide to safely isolating an appliance walks you through it.
- An error code tells you where to look, not that it's safe to take the hob apart. Don't remove panels or covers to get at the parts it points to: that's an engineer's job.
- If it involves the mains supply, sealed parts, or you're not confident at any point, stop and book a qualified engineer rather than risk injury or further damage.
- If it's a gas appliance and you can smell gas, don't use it. Open the windows and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
