The message behind F6E0
The keypad (user interface) and the user interface control have stopped talking to each other; that is how Whirlpool’s help explains F6E0. It is listed for electric (radiant) cooktops, and the remedy it gives is a power reset.
Breaker reset
Turn the cooktop breaker (or unplug the unit) off and let a minute pass.
Turn it back on.
Spend a minute watching to check that F6E0 does not display again.
Confirm the cooktop works again.
When it comes back
A code that repeats after the reset means it is time for a technician visit.

F6E4: carries the same lost-communication description
F6E1: another code where only reset steps are given
Phone (415) 687-4102 to schedule Whirlpool cooktop service in San Francisco if F6E0 will not clear. Keep the code, the cooktop model and a note of the breaker reset handy, and see Whirlpool cooktop repair for more.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F6E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
