Quick answer
F1-1 on a Whirlpool range: 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 F1-1 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 to do first
Remove power from the oven by turning off its breaker for one minute. Switch the power on again. Give it one minute and look for the code on the display. Then verify the oven operates. A code that comes straight back means the oven needs a technician’s attention.
