Quick answer

F4 on Whirlpool cooktops is caused by cookware too near the controls. Clear it and wait.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F4 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.

F4 appears when cookware is too near the control panel.

Why F4 appears

Cookware has been placed right beside the touch controls. The code is listed for electric, radiant and induction models.

Clear it

  • Lift the cookware off the cooktop.
  • Give the panel 5 minutes to clear itself.
  • Afterward, set the cookware in the middle of the cooking area and keep hot items off the touch panel.

Should F4 linger, cut the breaker for a minute and restore it.

Compare

F40 (a touchpad message); F2E1 (a control or wiring message).
