What F1E7 points to
Whirlpool Product Help says F1E7 may come from the cooktop control or from the wiring associated with it. The code is listed for electric and radiant cooktops.
The one reset worth trying
Shut off the breaker feeding the cooktop, or pull the plug, and wait one full minute.
Bring power back.
Give the cooktop another minute of observation so you can see whether F1E7 shows up again.
Run the cooktop and confirm it behaves normally.
Nothing else is listed for the owner. Looking into the control and its wiring is technician work.

F1E9: carries the same control-or-wiring explanation under a different code.
A returning F1E7 is a reason to schedule a visit through Whirlpool cooktop repair. Call (415) 687-4102 from anywhere around the Bay Area and keep the model number and your reset notes within reach.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F1E7 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
F1E7 indicates a possible problem with the cooktop control or its associated wiring.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
