What F25 means

F25 on an older Whirlpool electric radiant (smoothtop) cooktop, such as the WCE55US6HS, points to a problem with the power supply to the cooktop. The control is not getting what it expects from the feed. Plenty of Houston homes still have this older cooktop, and we repair it. If a power reset does not hold and F25 returns, the guidance says to contact a qualified electrician, and we say plainly when a repair is not worth it.

Common causes of F25

Supply to the cooktop that is weak, uneven or interrupted
Loose connection in the cooktop's feed
Control circuit that reads the supply wrongly

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn all surface controls off. 2. Switch the breaker off for one minute and on again. 3. Monitor the display for sixty seconds. 4. If F25 returns, stop using the cooktop. 5. Have a qualified electrician look at the circuit if it happens again.

! Why to stop there

Because the supply may be at issue, we check the cooktop's connections and what reaches them.
If the house circuit is the cause, an electrician has to correct it, and we tell you so.
The price is written down first, 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.

F25F25 questions

Why would you tell me to call an electrician?

F25 can come from the power feeding the cooktop, which is outside the appliance. If the problem is in the house wiring, it is an electrician's job.

Can I keep cooking with F25 showing?

A weak or unsteady feed to a cooktop is something to resolve before you use it again, because the controls may act unpredictably. Leave it off until the supply is checked.

How do we tell the cooktop from the house?

We check what arrives at the cooktop and how the cooktop reacts. That shows which side, the house or the appliance, needs the repair. Where the house wiring is the cause, an electrician handles that part.
