What F0E1
actually means.
Whirlpool's F0E1 article is entirely about cookware: pans that are not magnetic enough, bases with only a small magnetic disc, or pots too small for the zone. The code switches that zone off until you clear it.

What to do when F0E1 shows on the cooktopKind of codeMode, not a failure
A state the cooktop was put in, or one it picked deliberately — a child lock, a demo mode that lights the keys but heats nothing, a residual-heat letter over a zone that is still warm, a prompt that no pan has been found. Nothing has broken and no part is called for.
Usually leads toNo repair
Test the pan base with a magnet; induction needs it to stick firmly.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Whirlpool's own guidance for F0E1 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Test the pan base with a magnet; induction needs it to stick firmly.
Use a pan that fits the zone and set it in the center.
Press On/Off twice to clear F0E1, then try another zone or another pan; book a visit if good cookware still sets it off.
Cleared?
The cooktop came right without a new part. If the same message returns while a zone or burner is on, or the top shuts itself down again mid-meal, treat it as a fresh problem and book it.
What not to do
F0E1 is not an induction board report by itself. Whirlpool's own steps start and end with the pan.
