Error codeF2Q1

Touchpad code
F2Q1 is flagged against the User Interface (Touchpad) and its wiring, in Whirlpool’s list for over-the-range models. It is the touchpad variant of the keypad and user interface family, which also includes the shorter F2 and the longer F2E1.
Reset walk-through
Leave the microwave without power for one minute, breaker off or cord out.
Switch the breaker back on.
Stay near for a minute and see that the display shows no code.
Check that every function runs.
When this fails, the next move is a technician visit.
If the touchpad code remains, ring (415) 687-4102. Bay Area callers should mention F2Q1, the model number and the steps already tried. Our page: Whirlpool microwave repair.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F2Q1 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
F2Q1 points to the user interface (touchpad) or the 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.
