DF606CG

Most common issues on this model

1. Burner clicks, never lights
2. Oven heats poorly, cooktop fine
3. Convection fan noisy or silent
4. Numeric code on the display
5. Charbroiler will not heat

Typically, the DF606CG goes into a dedicated cooking alcove, framed by stone or tile that needs protecting when the range is pulled out. Keep in mind that most units from this control generation have been running somewhere between 8 and 20 years, long past their original warranty, so we plan for some wear on the parts that work hardest instead of assuming a brand-new appliance.

On arrival, we separate the cooktop from the oven, because on the DF606CG a problem on one side tells us very little about the other. Whatever we find, approval comes first, so the written price for the DF606CG is in your hands before any tools come out.

If you can, tell us whether the trouble is with the charbroiler and griddle or the open burners, because that narrows our starting point. Safety first: if you smell gas by the DF606CG, step away from the range, let fresh air in if it is safe, and call from outside the house.

Key features

• Dual Fuel range, 60 inches wide, gas on top (six open burners alongside an infrared charbroiler and an infrared griddle) and electric convection underneath
• Spark ignition lights the sealed surface burners, each valve switched independently
• Control generation without Wi-Fi: an electronic oven control that flags problems with brief numeric codes
• Its charbroiler sits apart from the open burners as an independent assembly, complete with a dedicated burner and a control of its own
