What FC RR means

FC RR on a Whirlpool electric radiant smoothtop cooktop points to the right rear hotplate, meaning the cooking surface or element, and the wiring connected to it. A power reset at the breaker is the first instruction. You will see FC RR on the display and the right rear area may stay cold.

Common causes of FC RR

  • The right rear hotplate (element)
  • The wiring connected to that element
  • A temporary glitch cleared by cycling power
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn every cooking area off and let the glass cool. 2. Put the cooktop's breaker in the off position for a minute. 3. Switch the breaker back on. 4. Keep the display in view for a minute. 5. If FC RR is gone, run the right rear area briefly with a pan of water.

! Why to stop there
  • The element and its wiring are both listed, so a test is needed to tell them apart.
  • We inspect the right rear element and the connection feeding it.
  • The price is in writing before we start, and we say so openly when an older cooktop is not worth fixing.
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.

FC RRFC RR questions
Which burner does FC RR refer to?

The letters point to the right rear cooking position, and the guidance names that hotplate and its wiring.

What if FC RR disappears after the reset?

Then the reset may have cleared a passing glitch. Use the cooktop normally, and call us if the code appears again.

Can a bad element cause the code?

The guidance lists the hotplate as one of two possibilities, along with the wiring. We test both so you pay only for what the test supports.
