Quick answer
F1-2 on a Whirlpool range: 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 F1-2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Reset procedure
Kill the power at the panel. One minute is the wait. Re-energize the unit: breaker on, or plug in. Does the error show again within a minute? Keep watching to find out. See that it functions normally. When F1-2 survives a reset, service is the answer.
