Quick answer

F36 and F37 are listed for a temperature sensor on an induction coil; the radiant F36 help describes a communication problem between the touch control module and the electronic control.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F36 / F37 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
