Error codeF0E4

F0E4 explained
The touch control module has lost communication with itself, an internal fault in how its parts talk. Product Help gives this reading for electric and radiant Whirlpool cooktops and names no further cause.
Clearing steps
Open the breaker feeding the cooktop and wait for sixty seconds.
Close the breaker so power returns.
Stay with the display for a minute; the message should stay gone.
Operate the cooktop to confirm it behaves normally.
F13 is a further touch control code, likewise a communication matter.
F0E6 sits on the induction side and is cleared by unplugging briefly.
Cooktop service in San Francisco
Should the display show F0E4 once more after power returns, a Whirlpool cooktop visit can be booked anywhere in San Francisco. Start with (415) 687-4102 and read about Whirlpool cooktop repair. Write down the model number and the reset you carried out beforehand so the visit goes quicker.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F0E4 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
