KitchenAid Range FEE7 Error Code: Broil Element

At a glance: FEE7 on a KitchenAid range concerns the main cavity broil element and its wiring. KitchenAid frames it as a possible problem and does not claim confirmation.

• Part named: the broil element in the main cavity, or the wiring tied to it.
• What an owner may do: reset power at the breaker.
• If it returns: contact service.

How broil differs from bake

Broiling is the intense top-heat setting used to brown and sear, whereas baking is the routine one. KitchenAid assigns FEE7 to the broil element and assigns FEE6 to the bake element, so an FEE7 message says nothing about the baking side.

Carrying out the reset

1. At the breaker panel, switch off the circuit for the range and count one minute.
2. Switch it back on.
3. Watch the display for about another minute.
4. If the code stays away, check that the oven behaves normally.

The article contains nothing else for the owner.

Beyond the reset

When FEE7 reappears, the article gives no home procedure. An element and the wiring behind it are work for a technician who handles electric ovens, and opening the range to poke at live electrical parts on a hunch is not wise. The entry describes no element test or replacement, and it does not tell you whether broiling still works while the code displays.

Neighbouring codes

• FEE6 is the same message for the bake element.
• F06 aims at the electronic control or its wiring and not at a heating element.
