Quick answer
F02 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 F02 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

F02 at a glance
Where it shows up: ranges and wall ovens
Manual wording: there may be a problem with the sensor, the control, or the wiring
Fix to try first: restart the power
F02 belongs to the same group of oven messages as F01, and it carries the same note about a sensor, a control or wiring.
Reset sequence
Breaker off for one minute (or unplug the oven for the same time). Put the breaker back to on. Look for the code again during the next minute. Make sure normal use is possible again. If F02 is still displayed, a technician should take over from here.
