Quick answer
F1-3 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 F1-3 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.
F1-3 is a range code. As with its neighbours in the F1 series, the manual lists a temperature sensor, a control or wiring.
Reset by the book
Take the oven off power, at the breaker or the plug, for one minute.
Put the breaker back to on.
Look for the code again during the next minute.
Then see if the oven does its job.
Return of the code after the reset is the signal to get service involved.
