Error codeF1-2
ApplianceRange
Where F1-2 fits
F1-2 follows F1-1 in the dashed F1 series for Whirlpool ranges. Whirlpool lists the Oven Temperature Sensor, the Control and the associated wiring as possible sources.
Reset routine
Breaker off (or the range unplugged), one minute.
Power back on.
Give the display a minute to show whether the code is gone.
Cook-test the oven to verify operation.
Seeing F1-2 once more tells you that further resets will not fix it, so schedule a visit.
Sibling codes
F1-1: the dashed version before it, with the same concern.
F1-3: the next sub-code and the same temperature sensor concern.
F1: the plain code often confused with the dashed ones.
Whirlpool range service for San Francisco
To have F1-2 looked at, Whirlpool range repair serves San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area. Call (415) 687-4102 and mention the model number, the code and the steps you completed.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F1-2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
