Faure E6

Faure error code E6 indicates: Faure FIE / Induction Duo / Vitroceramic Cooktop: Induction power inverter IGBT short circuit E6; power transistors on generator module damaged, tripping household breaker..

The primary root cause for Faure code E6 is: On Faure (Faure FIE / Induction Duo / Vitroceramic Cooktop) models: IGBT semiconductor punch-through breakdown from thermal overload, failed resonant capacitors, or shorted copper induction coil windings..

To resolve error code E6: Remove hob and open casing. Measure Collector-Emitter resistance of all IGBTs with multimeter (expected > 100 kΩ; if 0 Ω, replace module or IGBTs). Press and hold Départ/Pause and Annulation buttons for 6 seconds until all status indicators flash synchronously and clear fault memory.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Faure code E6 persists, the physical component causing On Faure (Faure FIE / Induction Duo / Vitroceramic Cooktop) models: IGBT semiconductor punch-through breakdown from thermal overload, failed resonant capacitors, or shorted copper induction coil windings. must be inspected or replaced.

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test 3-Phase Motor Windings / Tacho Generator / Carbon Brushes across Across phase pins U-V, V-W, U-W on motor harness; across tacho pins. Expected nominal reading is 3Ω–6Ω (BLDC phase U-V-W) / 60Ω–180Ω (Tacho coil) / 1.5Ω–3.5Ω (Universal stator). Tolerance: BLDC phase winding values must be strictly balanced within ±0.3Ω. Hand rotation generates 1V–4V AC on tacho..

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
