F1-1 on a range
The first dashed code in the F1 series, F1-1 is published for ranges. The manual’s possible sources: the Oven Temperature Sensor, the Control, or the associated wiring.
Try this first
Breaker off for a minute (the plug can be pulled instead).
Breaker on again.
Check the display after a minute for the code.
Run the oven to verify operation.
If it reappears right away, a technician should see the oven.
Compare with these
F1 is the undashed form that people mix up with F1-1. F1-2 shares the sensor concern as the next sub-code, as does F1-3.
Range repair in San Francisco
If F1-1 will not stay away, Whirlpool range repair is there for San Francisco and Bay Area households. Call (415) 687-4102; the code, the model number and your earlier attempts are what to have ready.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F1-1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
