Error codeF58
ApplianceCooktop
Seeing F58 on the display means the cooktop is reporting a suspected fault in one of two places: the Power Control Board, or the wiring that connects to it. Whirlpool publishes the code for electric (radiant) cooktops, and its help text uses the word “may”, so it describes a possibility rather than a confirmed failure.
What F58 covers
The Cooktop Power Control Board
The wiring associated with that board
Power-cycle routine
The only owner action listed is a power cycle. It works in four moves:
Switch the cooktop breaker off, or pull the plug if the unit has one, and leave it that way for a full minute.
Restore the power.
Keep an eye on the display for about a minute and see if F58 comes back.
If it has stayed away, run the cooktop normally and confirm everything responds.
When the code returns
A code that survives the power cycle needs a technician visit. Leave the cooktop closed up; opening it is not an owner task.
When F58 keeps returning, our Bay Area line at (415) 687-4102 can set up a visit for your Whirlpool cooktop; the Whirlpool cooktop repair page explains what that involves. Before you call, write down the code, find the model number and note that you already tried the one-minute breaker reset.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F58 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
F58 signals a possible problem with the cooktop Power Control Board 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.
