Quick answer
F8E0 on a Whirlpool range reports a cooling fan running too slowly, with a one-minute power reset to try.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F8E0 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
Cooling fan speed too low. There may be a problem with an airflow restriction, the Oven Cooling Fan, or the associated wiring.
F8E0 tells you the cooling fan speed is too low. The manufacturer says the cause may be an airflow restriction, the oven cooling fan itself, or the wiring that goes with it. It is listed for ranges.
Steps in the manual
Turn the circuit breaker off for one (1) minute.
Turn it on.
Monitor the oven for one (1) minute so you can see whether F8E0 shows once more.
Verify the oven operation.
An airflow restriction suggests making sure nothing sits in the way of the range’s ventilation; the manual does not list further owner steps, so a returning code goes to a technician.
Also check
F8E2 is the opposite case, fan speed too high. F7E5 is a general cooling fan message. F8EA points to the user interface.
