Meaning
Whirlpool Product Help says F1E7 may point to the cooktop control or the associated wiring. It applies to electric and radiant cooktops.
Try this reset
Shut off the cooktop at its breaker and wait for a full minute. Bring the power back, then watch the cooktop for one more minute. A code that does not return, together with normal cooktop operation, means the reset worked.
Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.
Safe
Important
