Baxter Bakery Oven Error Code E6: Heat Disabled, Rollout Switch Tripped
E6 on a Baxter OV520 yellow Heating Error screen applies to gas ovens only. The manual-reset rollout switch has tripped and heat is disabled; the cycle can continue without heat, and the manual says to contact a Baxter service technician.
High: a gas safety device has tripped and heat is disabled; the oven needs a technician before it is used.

What does Baxter error code E6 mean?
A gas oven has a rollout switch, a safety device that opens if flame rolls out of the burner area instead of going up the flue. The one on the OV520 is manual reset, so it stays tripped until it is reset by hand. When it trips, the control disables heat, turns the Smart Touch screen yellow and shows E6, Heating Error (Gas Ovens Only). The manual says the cycle can continue without heat and tells you to contact a Baxter service technician. It does not list causes for the trip. A rollout switch trips when something upsets the combustion air or exhaust path, but that explanation is ours and not the manual's. Because it protects against flame in the wrong place, it should not be reset without finding why it tripped. The display reads Yellow screen: Heating Error (Gas Ovens Only) with E6.

What you may notice
- Yellow screen with Heating Error (Gas Ovens Only) and E6
- Gas burner not lighting or not staying lit
- Oven cooling while the cycle continues
Possible causes
Likely causes — what usually sits behind error code E6 on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.
- Blocked flue, exhaust or hood so combustion gases backed up toward the burner
- Poor combustion air supply, for example a closed make-up air path in the bakery
- Burner or heat exchanger problem allowing flame to roll out
Safe checks before calling for service
- Note that heat is disabled and do not rely on the oven to bake until it is checked.
- Switch the oven off and let it cool.
- If you smell gas, leave the area and shut off the gas supply at the valve outside the oven, then call the gas company.
- Do not open panels or reset the switch yourself.
- Write down the time, what was baking and whether the hood fan was on, for the service call.
How a technician diagnoses error code E6
- Check for gas odor and shut off gas supply before opening the burner area.
- Inspect the flue, exhaust and hood for blockage.
- Check combustion air supply and draft.
- Inspect the burner, ignition and heat exchanger for damage.
- Test the rollout switch continuity after reset.
- Reset only after the cause is found, then relight and verify clean flame and normal draft.
- Gas ovens carry a gas leak and carbon monoxide risk if flame rolls out.
- Burner and flue work should be done only by a technician qualified on gas appliances.
- Resetting a rollout switch without finding the cause is unsafe.
