Whirlpool Range F0 E0 — What It Means & How to Fix It
Also shown as F0E0 on some models.
F0 E0 appears when the electronic oven control cannot recognise what type of problem has occurred — turn the breaker off for one minute to reset it, and call for service if the code comes back.
What this code means
Whirlpool describes F0 E0 as the code shown when the electronic oven control cannot recognise what type of problem has occurred. It adds that there may be a problem with a component of the oven control system, the electronic control, or the associated wiring. Because the code is non-specific, the only owner step is the power reset.
Published by Whirlpool for ranges with F#E# codes. The same reset — breaker off for one minute — applies to gas and electric models.
Most likely causes

| A failing component somewhere in the oven control system | Occasional | No — technician job |
| Electronic control or wiring fault | Occasional | No — technician job |
What you can try yourself
