Error codeF60

F60 in short
The touchpad is the suspect. According to Whirlpool, F60 on an electric (radiant) cooktop means there may be a problem with the User Interface (Touchpad) or with the wiring associated with it.
Try this first
Whirlpool asks for a power cycle before anything else. Cut power to the cooktop at its breaker (or unplug it) and wait one minute. Turn the power on again, then watch the cooktop for one minute to see whether the code reappears. When it does not, check that the cooktop operates as normal.
If F60 does not clear
Next comes a technician. The visit would focus on the touchpad and the wiring that serves it.

If the touchpad code is still on the display after the reset, ring (415) 687-4102 for Whirlpool cooktop repair around San Francisco and the Bay Area. Have F60, the model number and a short note about the breaker reset ready, and look over Whirlpool cooktop repair beforehand.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F60 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
