How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before removing the control panel.
Steps:
- Inspect for stuck buttons: Press each button individually to feel for proper travel. A physically stuck button can trigger F1.
- Clean panel surface: Wipe the control area with a slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not allow liquid to seep behind the panel.
- Power reset: Unplug for 5–10 minutes, then restore power to see if the error clears.
- Remove control panel: If F1 persists, remove the panel to inspect the keypad ribbon and user interface board.
- Check for moisture or corrosion: Look for signs of condensation or corrosion on the keypad connector. Dry gently if needed.
- Replace UI/Keypad assembly: If the membrane or board is damaged, install a new Whirlpool-compatible user interface assembly.
