Whirlpool

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 F2Q1
Appliance Microwave
Quick answer

What F2Q1 means on a Whirlpool over-the-range microwave and how to try a power reset.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F2Q1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

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 User Interface (Touchpad) or the associated wiring.

If the display reads F2Q1, the microwave is flagging the User Interface (Touchpad) or the associated wiring. Whirlpool lists it for over-the-range models.

Try this first

  1. Let the microwave sit without power for one (1) minute, with the breaker off or the cord out.
  2. Switch the circuit breaker back on.
  3. Keep the microwave in view for one (1) minute and confirm the code does not display again.
  4. Check that everything operates.

The next step after a reset that fails is a qualified technician.

Other codes to compare

  • F2E1 – another code about the user interface and keypad.
  • F2 deals with the keypad; easy to mix up with this one.
  • F2H1 is worth comparing, since it concerns the vent fan and light switch.
