How to Reset a Whirlpool Oven
Breaker off for 60 seconds. The control must pass its self-check on power-up for the code to stay away.
Reset Steps
- 1
Switch the range/oven breaker off for 60 seconds.
- 2
Restore power, set the clock, and run a 350°F bake test.
- 3
If the code returns immediately on power-up, the fault (sensor, keypad, latch) is hard — follow the code's fix guide.
💡 Good to know: F9E0 lockout codes after self-clean sometimes clear once the oven fully cools and the latch motor completes its travel — give it 90 minutes before replacing parts.
If the Code Comes Back
A code that returns after a reset means the underlying fault is still present. Look up your exact code for its causes and step-by-step fix:
F2-E0 Shorted keypad — stuck key on control panel F2-E1 Keypad/touchpad disconnected from control board F3-E0 Oven temperature sensor open circuit F3-E1 Oven temperature sensor short circuit F3-E2 Oven over-temperature — temp exceeded safe limit F5-E0 Door switch failure — latch not sensing door position F5-E1 Self-clean door latch failure — lock timeout F9-E0 Door latch during lock function — latch system fault

What resistance should a Whirlpool oven sensor read? +
About 1,080Ω at room temperature (~70°F), rising with temperature. A reading that is open, shorted, or wildly off confirms the sensor is behind an F3-class code.
