Appliance Cooktop

Quick answer

Two readings of F21 are published for Whirlpool cooktops. The reset is the same for both.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F21 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.

F21 is listed as a power supply frequency problem, or as cooktop overheating.

Two readings, one reset

  • Electric cooktops: the frequency of the incoming supply is the stated issue.
  • Radiant models, and electric-and-induction models: the cooktop may be overheating. Verify how it is installed and let it cool for approximately 5 minutes.

To reset, shut off the circuit breaker for a minute, restore it, and see if F21 reappears.

Codes to compare

F25 (supply feeding the cooktop); F22 (touch control module communication).
