Error codeF1

Quick answer
F1 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 F1 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 temperature sensor, control or wiring.
A bare F1 on a Whirlpool range or wall oven display belongs to the F1 series. Whirlpool lists the same possible sources here: the oven temperature sensor, the control, or the wiring that goes with them.
Reset the power
Flip the breaker off for one minute; unplugging the oven for that minute works as well.
Then switch the breaker on again.
Watch it for a minute to see if the same code displays again.
Once the display is clear, test that the oven operates.
Should F1 come back once power is restored, it is time to call for service.
For a range in Los Angeles that keeps showing F1, phone (310) 448-6692. Tell us the code, the model number and what you have done so far. More about our range service is online.

Safe
Important
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
