Function key stuck

Turn off the oven at the circuit breaker for 3 minutes, then restore power
Press each function key on the control panel firmly to free any physically stuck button
Clean around buttons with a damp cloth — grease and cooking splatter cause keys to stick
If the error returns, the Electronic Range Control (ERC) / clock assembly likely needs replacement
Pro Diagnostic Tip
On Whirlpool and Maytag ranges, F0 often appears during or after self-clean due to the extreme heat (900F+) warping the control panel overlay. If F0 only triggers during self-clean, the overlay is delaminating from heat — replace the overlay before condemning the ERC board.
