A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
There may be a problem with the User Interface or Keypad, the Control, or the associated wiring.
Seeing F2E1 on your Whirlpool range? The manual says the trouble may lie with the User Interface or Keypad, the Control, or the associated wiring, and it names ranges and wall ovens.
The listed remedy
The manual adds a grate check first: make sure the grates are installed properly and level. When the range is cool, rock each grate corner to corner and side to side. If a grate wobbles, it may be installed backwards, so try switching the grates. After rotating the grates, cycle power to the range to reset the error code.
Begin by cutting power at the breaker and leave it off for one (1) minute. Switch the breaker back on. Monitor for one (1) minute and note whether F2E1 comes back. Afterwards, make sure the oven operation is verified.
