Quick answer
F01 on a Whirlpool range or wall oven: oven temperature sensor, control or wiring may be at fault; a one-minute power reset is the manual's first step.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F01 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
There may be a problem with the oven temperature sensor, control or wiring.
An F01 message on the display of a Whirlpool range or wall oven points toward the temperature sensor, the control or the wiring between them.
Reset by the book
Open the breaker and give the oven a full minute without power.
Re-energize the unit: breaker on, or plug in.
Does the error show again within a minute? Keep watching to find out.
Then see if the oven does its job.
Return of the code after the reset is the signal to get service involved.
