Whirlpool Cooktop F43 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F43
Appliance Cooktop

F43 in short

F43 is listed for electric (radiant) cooktops. It suggests trouble with the Cooktop Power Control Board or with the wiring that links to it.

The reset in four steps

  1. Turn the supply breaker or breakers off and wait one minute.
  2. Turn the supply back on.
  3. Look at the display for one minute and note whether the code reappears.
  4. Check that the cooktop is working normally again.

If the code returns

Leave the cooktop unused and arrange service. Do not open it up yourself; on a visit a technician checks the power control board and the wiring.

Codes easily mixed up with F43

  • F42: names the same board and wiring.
  • F47: a close relative that lists the touchpad as well.
  • F58: carries an identical board and wiring description.
