Whirlpool Range Error Codes — Complete List

Whirlpool ranges use two-part F#E# codes, where the F number points to a system: F1 the control boards, F2 the keypad, F3 the temperature sensors and meat probe, F5 and F7 the door latch and switch, F6 board communication, F8 the cooling fan, FC the Wi-Fi connection and FE the heating elements. Whirlpool's first step for nearly all of them is a one-minute breaker reset.

• F3 E0 (F3E0) F3 E0 on a Whirlpool-family range flags the oven temperature sensing circuit — Whirlpool's own description names the temperature sensor, the control, or the associated wiring. A one-minute breaker reset is the official first step.
• F3 E1 (F3E1) F3 E1 is the paired partner of F3 E0 on Whirlpool-family ranges: the same oven temperature sensing circuit, control, or wiring suspects, per Whirlpool's own page. A one-minute breaker reset is the official first step.
• F1 E0 (F1E0) F1 E0 on a Whirlpool-family range points at the oven control — Whirlpool's own page names the oven control or the associated wiring. A one-minute breaker reset is the official first step.
• F2 E0 (F2E0) F2 E0 on a Whirlpool-family range points at the user interface, the keypad, the control, or the wiring — the input side of the oven. Clean keys and a one-minute breaker reset first.
• F0 E0 (F0E0) 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.
• F1 E1 (F1E1, F1 E2, F1E2, F1 E5, F1E5) F1 E1 — like F1 E2 and F1 E5 — means there may be a problem with the oven control or its wiring; reset the range at the breaker for one minute and book service if the code repeats.
• F1 E7 (F1E7, F1 E9, F1E9) F1 E7 and F1 E9 indicate a possible fault in the appliance control board or its wiring — power the range down at the breaker for a minute, and arrange service if either code returns.
• F2 E1 (F2E1) F2 E1 can be triggered by cooktop grates that are not seated properly — make sure they sit level, swap any that wobble, then reset power; otherwise it points to the keypad or control.
• F2 E2 (F2E2, F2 E3, F2 E4, F2 E5, F2 E6) F2 E2, F2 E3, F2 E4, F2 E5 and F2 E6 all mean there may be a problem with the user interface or keypad, the control, or their wiring — reset the range at the breaker and call for service if the code stays.
• F3 E2 (F3E2) F3 E2 means there may be a problem with the oven temperature sensor, the warming drawer sensor on models that have one, or the wiring — reset power for a minute and book service if it returns.
• F3 E3 (F3E3) F3 E3 indicates a possible problem with the oven temperature sensor or its wiring; try a one-minute breaker reset, then call for service if the code persists.
• F3 E4 (F3E4) F3 E4 relates to the meat probe — check that the probe is securely inserted in its receptacle inside the oven, then reset power if the code remains.
• F5 E0 (F5E0, F5 E7, F5E7) F5 E0 and F5 E7 point to the oven door latch assembly, the door switch or their wiring — close the door fully, reset the breaker for a minute, and call service if the code remains.
• F5 E1 (F5E1, F5 E2, F5E2, F5 E3, F5E3) F5 E1, F5 E2 and F5 E3 indicate a possible fault with the main oven door latch assembly, the door switch, or the wiring; reset power for one minute and schedule service if the code is still there.
• F5 E5 (F5E5) F5 E5 means the oven had not reached self-clean temperature after 30 minutes, which Whirlpool links to the door hinges or door gasket — check the door closes squarely and the gasket is intact.
• F6 E0 (F6E0) F6 E0 suggests a problem with the oven control, the Appliance Manager board, or the wiring between them — reset at the breaker for one minute and call service if it returns.
• F6 E1 (F6E1, F6 E3, F6E3) F6 E1 and F6 E3 point to the Appliance Manager board or its wiring; Whirlpool notes several things can cause it, so cycle the breaker for one minute and schedule service if it repeats.
• F6 E4 (F6E4) F6 E4 indicates a possible fault with the oven Appliance Manager or oven control, or their wiring; reset power for a minute, and call service if the code is still shown.
• F6 E5 (F6E5, F6 EA, F6EA) F6 E5 and F6 EA mean there may be a problem with the range's user interface or its wiring — reset at the breaker for one minute and get service if the code persists.
• F7 E0 (F7E0) F7 E0 points to the oven door latch assembly or its wiring: shut the door fully, reset the breaker for a minute, and call service if the code or a locked door remains.
• F7 E1 (F7E1) F7 E1 suggests a problem with the oven door switch or its wiring; after a one-minute power reset, Whirlpool notes you may need a qualified technician.
• F7 E5 (F7E5, F7 E6, F7E6) F7 E5 and F7 E6 indicate a possible fault with the cooling fan or its wiring — reset the breaker for one minute, and arrange service if either code returns.
• F8 E0 (F8E0) F8 E0 means the cooling fan speed is too low, which may come from restricted airflow, the cooling fan itself, or its wiring — clear the vents, reset the breaker, and call service if it comes back.
• F8 E2 (F8E2) F8 E2 means the cooling fan speed is too high, pointing to the oven cooling fan or its wiring; reset power for a minute and call for service if the code persists.
• F8 EA (F8EA) F8 EA indicates a possible problem with the user interface or its wiring; switch the breaker off for one minute and call for service if the code returns.
• FC E1 (FCE1, FC E2, FCE2, FC E3, FCE3) FC E1, FC E2 and FC E3 mean the range could not connect to your Wi-Fi router — restart the router and the range, and improve the signal where the range sits.
• FC E4 (FCE4, FC E5, FCE5) FC E4 and FC E5 point to the range's Wi-Fi antenna or its wiring; power the range off at the breaker for a minute and contact Whirlpool connected-appliance support if the code stays.
• FC E6 (FCE6, FC E9, FCE9) FC E6 and FC E9 indicate a possible fault in the Wi-Fi power module or its wiring — reset at the breaker for one minute and seek service if the code is still present.
• FC E7 (FCE7) FC E7 means the range did not connect to your router — reset the range at the breaker, then restart your wireless router to restore the link to the internet.
• FC E8 (FCE8, Registration Error) FC E8 is a registration error that appears when the SAID number, appliance type or model number was entered incorrectly during connected setup — re-enter them carefully.
• FE E6 (FEE6) FEE6 indicates a possible problem with the main cavity bake element or its wiring — reset the breaker for a minute, and leave element testing and replacement to a technician.
• FE E7 (FEE7) FEE7 indicates a possible fault with the main cavity broil element or its wiring; reset power for a minute and call a technician if the code returns.
• F1 (F2) A plain F1 or F2 on a Whirlpool range means there may be a problem with the oven temperature sensor, the control, or the wiring; reset the breaker for one minute and call service if it returns.
• F3 (F6) A plain F3 or F6 on a Whirlpool range indicates a possible problem with the oven control or its wiring — reset at the breaker for one minute and call for service if the code remains.
• F5 A plain F5 on a Whirlpool range points to the oven door latch assembly, the door latch switches, or their wiring — reset the breaker for a minute and never force a locked door.
• F8 A plain F8 on a Whirlpool range concerns the meat probe: make sure it is securely inserted in its receptacle, or remove it if unused, then reset power.
• F01 (F02) F01 and F02 point to the oven temperature sensor, the control, or the wiring between them; turn the breaker off for one minute and call service if the code returns.

Don't see your code?

Not every Whirlpool range uses the F#E# layout: some show a single F number (F1, F5), a dash code (F1-1, F9-1), a three-character code (F01) or a four-character code starting with a digit (1c31, 9d11). Those are separate tables, so match your display exactly. Each guide links Whirlpool's own product-help article for the code.
