Quick answer
F1-2 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 F1-2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
There may be a problem with the oven temperature sensor, control or wiring.
On a Whirlpool range, F1-2 turns up as the second dashed code of the F1 series. The oven temperature sensor, the control, or the associated wiring may be causing it.
Try this reset
Start by shutting off the breaker for one minute.
Restore power at the breaker.
Look at the display for a minute; the code should be gone.
Use the oven to verify it operates.
When the same code reappears, further resets will not help; book a visit.
