Whirlpool Cooktop Error Code F0ED

The F0ED error code on a Whirlpool cooktop indicates a fault detected in the Coil NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor circuit. The NTC thermistor is a temperature-sensing component embedded near or within the induction coil assembly. Its resistance changes predictably as temperature rises or falls, and the control board monitors this resistance to track coil temperature during operation. When the board detects an open circuit, a short circuit, or a stuck (unresponsive) reading from the NTC, it registers F0ED and shuts down that cooking zone to prevent damage or unsafe operating conditions.

An open NTC condition means the thermistor circuit has no continuity, typically due to a broken wire, a failed thermistor, or a disconnected connector at the coil assembly. A shorted NTC means the circuit is reading near-zero resistance, indicating a thermistor that has failed internally or wiring that has come into contact. A stuck NTC means the sensor is returning a fixed, unchanging resistance value regardless of actual temperature changes, which can happen when the thermistor degrades over time or becomes thermally bonded to a surface and loses its response range.

The IPC (Induction Power Control board) is the secondary control component that processes NTC data and manages power delivery to the coil. If the NTC thermistor and its wiring connections are both confirmed to be in proper working condition and the fault persists, the IPC itself may be interpreting or transmitting the sensor signal incorrectly and will require replacement. Diagnosis should always begin after allowing the cooktop to fully cool, since high residual temperatures can temporarily skew NTC resistance readings.
