Whirlpool oven F9E0 code: incorrect home wiring

The oven has detected a problem with its power supply. Whirlpool says it most often means the oven is wired incorrectly at the home supply, such as L2 and neutral swapped. A power surge can also trigger it.

Likely causes

Listed from most to least common.

1. L2 and neutral wires swapped at the terminal block
2. Oven wired incorrectly when installed
3. Problem with the home electrical supply
4. Power surge or outage

How to fix the F9E0 code

Unplug the oven or switch it off at the breaker before removing any panel or filter.

1. 1

   Step 1: Reset power at the breaker

   Turn off the circuit breaker for the oven for one minute, then turn it back on. Watch the display for one minute.

2. 2

   Step 2: Think about recent changes

   If the code appeared right after the oven was installed or moved, the wiring is the likely cause.

3. 3

   Step 3: Leave the breaker off if it returns

   If the code comes back, turn the breaker off and leave the oven unused until an electrician has checked the supply.

When to call a technician

Call a licensed electrician to check the supply and terminal block wiring. Do not open the terminal block or rewire the oven yourself.
