What F58 means

F58 on an older Whirlpool electric radiant smoothtop cooktop is a control code that names the cooktop power control board and the associated wiring. A power reset at the breaker is the only step given. You will see F58 on the display, and the elements may not heat as expected. We repair these older cooktops in Houston and tell you if a repair is not worth it.

Common causes of F58

The cooktop power control board
The wiring tied to the board
A brief electrical disturbance

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn all controls off. 2. Open the breaker that feeds the cooktop for a minute. 3. Turn it back on. 4. A clear screen after a minute means the reset held. 5. If F58 returns, leave the cooktop off and call us.

! Why to stop there

The code points to a board and wiring but does not say which has the problem.
We examine the harness and test the board before quoting a part.
Our price is written before work begins, and the repair 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.

F58F58 questions

What does code F58 mean?

It is a power-side control code on an older Whirlpool smoothtop. The maker names the power control board or the wiring and asks for a one-minute breaker reset.

Is it safe to use the cooktop after F58?

If the code is gone after a reset and everything heats normally, yes. If F58 comes back, stop using it until we have tested the circuit.

Why do older cooktops show F58?

Boards and connections age with heat and years of use. We repair them where it makes sense and give you the price first.
