What E6 means on a Rangemaster range cooker
Induction hob power or control fault, often affecting several zones and traced to the power board.
Meaning checked by NAC's engineers, 9 November 2026.
What our engineers say
On a Rangemaster range cooker, code E6 points to a fault with the power or controls of the induction hob. It often affects more than one cooking zone at once, and it is usually traced to the power board that feeds the zones.
Engineers sometimes find that the power board has failed, often along with the filter board that works alongside it. Now and then the boards show heat damage, sometimes with a burning smell when the hob is switched on, or damage from water getting in. Engineers also sometimes find blown fuses between the boards or a cooling fan that has stopped working. The code can come and go, clearing for a while after the hob is switched off and on again.
An engineer will check the power reaching the boards, inspect the boards, wiring and fuses for damage and test the parts that drive each zone, sometimes confirming the findings with Rangemaster. The usual repair is a new power board, often fitted together with a new filter board and sometimes a further board for other zones. These parts often have to be ordered and fitted at a return visit, after which the hob is set up again and every zone is tested.

Before you check anything yourself
- Switch the range cooker 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 range cooker 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.
