Reading F8E0
Your range is reporting that the cooling fan speed is too low. Three sources are named: something restricting airflow, the oven cooling fan, or the wiring connected with it.
Reset routine
Breaker off for one (1) minute, or unplug the range for that time.
Breaker on again.
Spend one (1) minute watching the oven for another F8E0.
Run the oven to verify operation.
About the airflow point
An airflow restriction means anything blocking the range ventilation should be cleared. No further owner steps are listed, so a code that returns belongs to a technician.

Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F8E0 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
F8E0 means the cooling fan speed is too low, with an airflow restriction, the fan or its wiring as possible causes.
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.
