What does the F2E0 error mean?

The F2E0 is usually a “stuck key” error. It indicates that the wall oven’s control panel has detected that one of the touchpad buttons is being held down continuously or the keypad is damaged.

On models from brands like Whirlpool, Maytag, and KitchenAid, an F2E0 will show up on the user interface within about 120 seconds of a key being pressed down and not properly released or if one of the keys is shorted.

Safety precautions

When working on any appliance, remember to keep safety first. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Always power off and unplug your appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before you attempt any maintenance or replacement work. This keeps you safe by eliminating any risk of electric shock.
• If the appliance has recently been used, give it plenty of time to cool down before working on it.
• If you have a gas model, shut off the gas supply to prevent any leaks while you work.
• Take your time while working to prevent accidents and personal injuries. Rushing is the enemy of precision.
• Work in a well-lit area so you can see and access appliance parts.
• Keep your workspace free of clutter and other obstacles. Keep children and pets away from the work area.
• Check the user manual to see if there are specific installation or safety instructions related to your appliance or replacement part.
• Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the appliance or cause personal injury.
• Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts and debris.
• When working with wires, avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals. If you need to touch a wire, use a non-conductive tool or wear insulating gloves to prevent electrical shock.
• Always take photos or make a note of wiring terminals or other connections before disconnecting them to make reassembly easier.
• Don’t test live voltage with a multimeter if you’re unfamiliar with how to prevent short-circuiting.

Troubleshooting steps

Check out these tips to get your Whirlpool wall oven back in shape.

Step 1: Check the keypad connector

1. Unplug the wall oven from the power source.
2. Remove the oven’s front panel to access the keypad and its connector.
3. Find the keypad connector, which is usually located on the control board or a separate wiring harness.
4. Inspect the connector for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections. If you find any damage, replace the connector.
5. Unplug the connector and check the pins for any bent or damaged parts.
6. If everything looks good, reconnect the keypad connector and make sure it’s secure.
7. Replace the front panel.
8. Restore power to the oven and see if the error code persists. If it does, move on to the next step.

Step 2: Power cycle

1. With the oven powered on, press the CANCEL button on the keypad.
2. Wait for 60 seconds and see if the F2E0 error code reappears on the display.
3. Unplug the oven from the power source or turn off the circuit breaker.
4. Let the oven rest for 2-3 minutes while disconnected from power.
5. Plug the oven back in and turn it on. If the error code returns, then the keypad is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.

How to replace the keypad (if needed)

1. Unplug the oven from the power source.
2. Remove the front panel to access the keypad.
3. Disconnect the keypad connector from the control board or wiring harness.
4. Remove any screws or clips holding the keypad in place and carefully remove the keypad.
5. Install the new keypad. Make sure it’s aligned correctly and securely mounted.
6. Reconnect the keypad connector.
7. Replace the front panel.
