Quick answer
F03 on a Whirlpool range or wall oven: electronic oven 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 F03 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
