VERIFIED

Error code F03
Appliance Cooktop

F03 is Whirlpool’s code for a communication problem inside the touch control module, found on electric and radiant cooktops.

Meaning

The touch control module has an internal communication error. Product Help lists nothing further.

Try this

  1. At the breaker, shut the power off and leave it so for a minute.
  2. Turn the breaker back on.
  3. Observe the cooktop for one minute; F03 should not return.
  4. Check that the cooktop is working.

  • F0: about objects or soils on the control surface.

Service for Whirlpool cooktops in San Francisco

When the touch control still reports F03 after the reset, phone (415) 687-4102 and we will arrange a technician visit in the city. The Whirlpool cooktop repair page has more. Keep the model number and your reset notes within reach.

Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F03 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
