Quick answer

F2 warns that the surface cooking area is too hot on electric and radiant Whirlpool cooktops and clears after cooling.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

F2 warns that the surface cooking area is too hot and clears after it cools.

Why F2 shows

The cooktop is telling you that the surface cooking area is too hot. This code is listed for electric and radiant models.

Cool it down

  • Move the pans off the surface cooking area.
  • Leave the area off until it has cooled; F2 goes away by itself at that point.
  • Turning the area on while it is still hot brings F2 back.

Reset option

Cut the breaker for one minute, restore it, and check whether F2 comes back.
