ACP Amana ACE14 / MCE14 Oven Error 6: Options Scrambled

Error 6 on an Amana ACE14 or MCE14 touch pad speed-cook oven means the options are scrambled. It appears if the touch panel is pressed for more than 30 seconds. Unplug the oven for one minute and test again, and call us if Error 6 returns without anyone pressing the panel.

Medium · inspection needed

Low: usually a held key or sticky panel, and the oven is not damaged.

What does ACP Amana error 6 mean?

The ACE14 and MCE14 store their settings, called options, and the control checks that the stored options make sense. Error 6 means they do not. The distinctive cause is a long press: if the touch panel is pressed for more than 30 seconds, the control reads the held key as a corrupted setting and reports Error 6. That is why the maker's advice is to unplug the oven for one minute and test it again, and why the owner should not hold any key down. A panel that is sticky from spills can behave as if a key were held, so check whether the panel is sticky. Other causes in the manual are the options stored in the control, the condition of the panel and moisture, and the memory on the EZ Card. If the error returns without anyone pressing, the panel or the memory is the suspect, and a technician checks the panel itself if it sticks. Leave the cover on while the oven is plugged in.

Affected models and control systems

This applies to the Amana ACE14 and MCE14 touch pad speed-cook ovens, as covered in the ACP Commercial Service and Training Manual. Error 2 on the same ovens is a different memory problem: nothing programmed.

Code numbers and their meaning can change between control generations. We match the full model and control before acting on a code.

What you may notice

  • Error 6 on the display
  • The oven refuses to run after a key was held
  • The panel feels sticky
  • The error returns without anyone pressing

Possible causes

Listed in ACP Amana's documentation

  • Touch panel pressed or stuck for over 30 seconds
  • Stored options in the control corrupted
  • Panel sticky or damp from moisture
  • EZ Card memory corrupted

Other likely causes — what usually sits behind error 6 on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.

  • A key area where a film of grease keeps the contact closed after the finger has gone
  • A stored option value corrupted when the oven lost power while a key was held

Safe checks before calling for service

✓ What an operator can do
  1. Unplug the oven for one minute and reconnect it.
  2. Do not hold any key down; a press that lasts more than 30 seconds scrambles the options.
  3. Check whether the panel is sticky from spills.
  4. If Error 6 returns without anyone pressing, call us.
  5. Leave the cover on.

How a technician diagnoses error 6

  1. Read the error and ask whether a key was held.
  2. Inspect the panel for moisture and stuck keys.
  3. Check the stored options and reset them to the model's values.
  4. Test the EZ Card memory.
  5. Replace the panel or card if the options will not hold.
! Leave this to a technician
  • Resetting the stored options needs the correct values for the model, which an operator does not have.
  • A stuck key may be failing at the panel, and only a technician can open the oven to check.
  • Memory problems on the EZ Card are tested with the maker's tool.

How error 6 differs from similar codes

Error 2 on these ovens is an empty menu memory. Error 6 is about stored options that look scrambled.

Error 6Questions about ACP Amana error 6
Can pressing a key too long really cause it?

Yes. The maker lists a press longer than 30 seconds as a cause.

Will unplugging fix it?

Usually, if the cause was a long press. If it returns without a press, have the panel checked.

Is the oven broken?

Not necessarily. The control is reporting settings it does not trust.
