Quick answer
F8 on a Whirlpool range: check that the meat probe sits securely in its receptacle, then cycle power.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
Page says verify the meat probe is securely inserted in its receptacle.
If your Whirlpool range shows F8, start with the meat probe. The manual asks you to verify that it is securely inserted in the meat probe receptacle, and notes the receptacle location may vary.
Then reset power
Switch the range breaker off for one (1) minute, switch it on, and watch the oven for one (1) minute to be sure the code does not return. Verify that the oven runs normally.
