Quick answer
F02 on a Whirlpool range or wall oven: oven temperature sensor, control or wiring may be at fault; a one-minute power reset is the manual's first step.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F02 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Owners of Whirlpool ranges and wall ovens may see F02 appear on the control display. According to the manual, the oven temperature sensor, the control or the associated wiring may be at fault.
Resetting the oven
Remove power from the oven by turning off its breaker for one minute.
Then switch the breaker on again.
