Code overview at a glance.

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

Error code FC RF
Appliance Cooktop
Quick answer

FC RF indicates the right front hotplate or its wiring; the manual lists a breaker reset.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so FC RF 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 right front hotplate (cooking surface, burner or element), or the associated wiring.

FC RF on a Whirlpool electric/radiant cooktop means there may be a problem with the right front hotplate, which covers the cooking surface, burner or element, or with the wiring that goes with it.

Owner reset from the manual

Power the cooktop down by turning off its circuit breaker for one minute. Then switch the breaker on again and keep watching the cooktop for one minute. If FC RF has not reappeared, test that the cooktop works.

When the code stays

The manual stops at the reset and points you to scheduling service. Repeated FC RF after a power cycle calls for a technician to inspect that hotplate and its wiring.

Related codes

Compare with FC RR (right rear hotplate) and FC LR (left front hotplate), or FCE0 when the electrical supply or induction module is named.
