The fault code on your oven panel, is it a 4 digit display, alternating between the 2 fault codes E3-F1, or is it displaying as a 4 digit code E3F1?

This is important to know*

I can give you the fault code meaning, but as far as repairing it goes, it has probably suffered some damage from the recent power spike/outage. It doesnt take much unfortunately*

Let me know and I will give you the faiut code info okay

Customer replied298 days and 5 hours ago.

E3 -F1-

Hi June,

The fault code is as follows:


F1 - Control Board Failure - Replace control board (clock).



F1-E3 - Wiring Harness Cavity Size Does Not Match Stored Value - Check the jumpers in the harness to make sure they agree with the actual oven size.

After you rate my answer today, I will provide you with all of the Whirlpool oven fault codes for future reference okay*

Id say at a pretty good guess and from my experience with this kind of problem, the clock/timer control board was damaged with the recent power outage. This is why it wont work, even though it still powers up and sets etc... The fault code isnt showing for no reason, put it that way*

You will need to get a tech out and replace the main control baord and also check for other damage inside the oven cabinet regarding the wiring jumpers etc,,

In the meantime, go outside and switch it off for a few hours and then try it one more time, it may reset, but I doubt it . Apart from that, until you get parts, the problem will remain Im sorry to say*

F0 - Control Board Failure - Replace control board (clock).

F1 - Control Board Failure - Replace control board (clock).

F2 - Oven Temperature Is Too High - Check for welded contacts on bake and broil relays. If present, replace control board (clock). For SELF CLEAN models, check door lock operation. Check sensor, sensor harness, and the sensor harness connection at sensor and oven control. Also check for any causes of high resistance in the oven temperature sensor circuit. Remember: The oven control board (clock) measures resistance of sensor circuit, not actual oven temperature.

F3 - Open Oven Temperature Sensor (RTD) - Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD).

F4 - Shorted Oven Temperature Sensor (RTD) - Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD).

F5 - Control Board Failure - Replace control board (clock).

F7 - Function Key Stuck - Replace control board (clock).

F8 - Control Board Failure - Replace control board (clock).

F9 - Oven Door Lock Failure - Check door lock switches and wiring. Check for stuck lock switch.
