The facts for this Whirlpool error, a plain-language snapshot, and what to confirm against your model number.

Error code FC LR
Appliance Cooktop
Quick answer

FC LR points to the left front hotplate or its wiring. The manual lists a one-minute power reset.

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

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

There may be a problem with the left front hotplate (cooking surface, burner or element), or the associated wiring.

When a Whirlpool cooktop shows FC LR, the control is pointing at the left front hotplate (the cooking surface, burner or element) or at the wiring connected to it. The code is listed for electric/radiant cooktops, and the same help entry also appears for electric and induction models.

Reset the power

  1. Turn off the circuit breaker (or unplug the unit) for one minute.
  2. Turn the breaker back on.
  3. Watch the cooktop for one minute to make sure FC LR does not show up again.
  4. Check that the cooktop runs normally.

If FC LR returns

The manual gives no further owner steps. A code that comes back after the reset is a job for a technician, who can look at the hotplate and its wiring.

Similar hotplate codes

  • FC RF covers the right front hotplate.
  • FC RR covers the right rear hotplate.
  • FC LF is also listed for the left front hotplate.
