The message behind F22
For electric and radiant Whirlpool cooktops, F22 is explained in one line: the touch control module has an internal communication error. The manufacturer adds nothing further about causes.
How to reset it
Flip the circuit breaker off, or unplug the cooktop, and keep it unpowered for a minute.
Turn the power on.
Keep watching the cooktop for another minute so you notice if F22 returns.
Check that everything works.
If F22 does not return and the cooktop works, you are done.

F21: a power supply frequency problem is one of its readings.
F36: a touch control module link is among its listed meanings.
A touch control fault that comes back is something to hand to a technician. See Whirlpool cooktop repair for our San Francisco service, then ring (415) 687-4102. Quote F22, the model number and the reset you did.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F22 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
F22 indicates an internal communication error on the touch control module.
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.
