Error codeF0 / F00
ApplianceCooktop
Two codes, one routine
F0 and F00 are the same message on an electric or radiant Whirlpool cooktop. Start at the control panel, then move on to the power reset if needed.
Step 1: the control area
Take anything off the control area and wipe debris from the panel surface. An object, spilled liquid or soil resting on the controls may be what causes the code.
Step 2: reset the power
Cut the breaker for the cooktop and wait one minute.
Switch the breaker on.
Keep watching the display for a minute and make sure the code stays off.
Verify the cooktop operates.

F03: internal communication error on the touch control module.
F0E4: a touch control module that fails to communicate.
If F0 or F00 returns once the panel is clean and the power cycled, book a visit with Whirlpool cooktop repair. Whirlpool cooktop service in San Francisco and the Bay Area starts at (415) 687-4102. Tell the dispatcher the code, the model number and the steps you tried.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F0 / F00 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
