What Feature Not Available or Fault Detected means

On Whirlpool built-in single, double and microwave-combination wall ovens, such as the WOS51EC0HS, the long scrolling message that begins Feature Not Available moves across the display while you are programming a cook cycle. It tells you the oven noticed a problem during setup and could not carry out your choice. The screen asks you to press Enter to try again or to disable power to clear it.

Common causes of Feature Not Available or Fault Detected

  • A control that lost track of the setup steps
  • A keypad or touchpad entry that did not register
  • Control or wiring trouble that shows only when programming
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press Enter when the display invites you to try again. 2. If the message returns, turn the oven's circuit breaker off for one full minute. 3. Turn the breaker on. 4. Start a bake cycle. 5. Watch for a minute to see whether the message shows up again.

! Why to stop there
  • One interrupted setup can be a glitch, while a message that returns every time points at the control or touchpad.
  • We test the oven through a normal programming sequence to see exactly where it stops.
  • A written price comes before any repair, and our work has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Does this message mean the oven is unsafe?

It means the oven stopped a setup it could not complete. Press Enter or reset the power as shown. If it keeps repeating, avoid using that cook mode and call us.

Why does it only appear while I set a cycle?

The oven checks itself as you enter a program. Something about the control or touchpad may only show up at that moment, which is why a plain clock display looks fine.

Will a power reset clear it for good?

Sometimes, if it was a one-time hiccup. If the same message appears again on your next bake, the cause is still there and we should inspect the control.
