Quick answer

F36 and F37 have a published sensor explanation for induction coils; radiant F36 has a touch control communication explanation.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F36 / F37 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.

F36 and F37 may indicate an induction coil temperature sensor problem, or a touch control communication problem.

Meaning depends on the cooktop

  • F36 and F37, electric and induction: the induction coil may have a faulty temperature sensor; the help says a qualified technician may be needed.
  • F36, radiant element: the touch control module and the electronic control may not be communicating properly.

Owner step

Breaker off for one minute, then back on, then look for the code again. Nothing else is listed for owners.

Other codes

F2E1 (control or wiring message); F25 (power supply problem).
