Whirlpool Cooktop Error Code F-60

F-60 indicates a Type 3 failure of the User Interface board, which is the control panel electronics that accept and process your cooking inputs. This fault level is serious enough that the cooktop disables itself entirely and will not operate. The code points directly to the UI board as the failed component requiring replacement.

A simple power reset is unlikely to clear an F-60 fault because it represents a Type 3 hardware failure of the UI board, not a software or communication glitch. The diagnostic step calls for disconnecting power and replacing the UI board, not just cycling power. If the board itself has failed, no reset will restore function.

Repair costs depend on whether you hire a technician or replace the UI board yourself. A replacement UI board for a Whirlpool cooktop typically costs in the range of $75 to $250 depending on the model. If a technician performs the repair, labor charges will add to that cost, bringing the total to roughly $150 to $400 or more depending on your location and the specific model.

A knowledgeable DIYer comfortable working with appliance electronics can replace the User Interface board after disconnecting power to the cooktop. The repair requires sourcing the correct replacement UI board for your specific model. If you are not comfortable working with appliance wiring or disassembling the cooktop, a qualified appliance technician is the safer option.

No. The F-60 error is a Type 3 fault that disables the entire cooktop, so the appliance will not operate in this state. Do not attempt to bypass or override the fault. The cooktop should remain disconnected from power until the UI board has been replaced and the fault is resolved.
