Quick answer
F1-5 on a Whirlpool range: oven control, keypad 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 F1-5 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 codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
There may be a problem with the oven control, keypad or wiring.
F1-5 differs from the other dashed F1 codes: it involves the keypad side of a Whirlpool range. There may be a problem with the oven control, the user interface or keypad, or the associated wiring.
Resetting the oven
Turn off the circuit breaker that feeds the oven and leave it off for one minute.
Switch the power on again.
Leave the display alone for one minute and see whether the code shows up again.
Finally, confirm normal operation.
If the code returns after this reset, stop retrying and arrange service.
