Quick answer
F1E0 means the cooktop sees keys as permanently pressed. Cleaning and a breaker reset come first.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F1E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F1E0 indicates one or more keys are permanently pressed.
What the display is telling you
F1E0 on an electric or radiant Whirlpool cooktop indicates that a key, or several, is permanently pressed. Expect flashing lights and possibly beeps or audio tones.
Quick checklist
Confirm all cooktop controls are in the OFF position.
Lift off any object resting on the control area.
Wipe away debris from the panel surface.
Give the whole touch control panel a thorough clean.
If the code stays
Turn the circuit breaker off for a minute and back on. Observe the cooktop for one minute afterward. The manufacturer notes a possible problem with the cooktop control or the associated wiring, which is what a technician would look at if the code persists.
Nearby codes
F1E1 (reset-only code from the same F1E family); F12 (lists a touch control module fault among its meanings).
