What do the function symbols mean on the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - just now
Response Notice-Facile

The FXTP6 does not display the names of the functions permanently: it shows a pictogram, and the name only appears when the function is highlighted. Here is the complete correspondence, noted from the functions table in the manual.

Main menu

  • Cogs: Settings. Language, time, display brightness, sound volume, energy saving.
  • “6th Sense” logo: Recipes. 30 pre-recorded recipes where the oven chooses the function, temperature, and duration itself.
  • Chamber sprinkled with sparks: Automatic cleaning, that is to say pyrolytic cleaning. This is the symbol that is most often sought: it does not represent flames but the residues being reduced to ashes at around 500 °C.
  • Hand: Traditional, access to manual cooking functions.
  • Chef's hat topped with stars: Special functions.

Traditional functions

  • Thermometer: Rapid preheating.
  • Two horizontal lines, top and bottom: Natural convection. Both heating elements heat, without a fan. Third shelf level.
  • Wavy line at the top only: Grill. Fourth or fifth shelf level, door closed.
  • Wavy line at the top plus a propeller: Turbo grill. The grill assisted by the fan, for large pieces.
  • Propeller in the centre: Forced air. Up to three shelf levels at the same time without mixing smells.
  • Two lines and a propeller: Forced convection. Meats and pies with liquid filling, third shelf level.

Special functions

  • Crossed snowflake: Defrosting. Central shelf level, food left in its packaging.
  • Plate with heat swirls: Keeping warm. Does not start if the oven already exceeds 65 °C.
  • Rising dough: Dough rising. Does not start above 40 °C.
  • Prepared dish: Convenient for ready meals and store-bought preparations.
  • Roast: Cooking large pieces, over 2.5 kg.
  • Snowflake: Frozen foods, with five preset settings (lasagne, pizza, strudel, chips, bread) and a custom mode from 50 to 250 °C.
  • ECO mention with propeller: Eco forced air. The lighting remains off during cooking, which is normal, and it briefly turns on if you press the confirmation button.

Status symbols

  • Padlock: Child safety activated, or door locked during pyrolytic cleaning. In this second case, the door will not open until the oven has cooled down to a safe temperature, and this is a safety feature, not a fault.
  • Thermometer alone after switching off: residual heat in the chamber.

Is the FXTP6 oven an IKEA oven or a WHIRLPOOL oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - just now
Response Notice-Facile

Both, and that is what explains the confusion. FXTP6 is not a commercial name but a model code, that of the built-in oven manufactured by Whirlpool and sold in IKEA kitchens. Depending on where you look, the same appliance therefore appears under either an IKEA reference or a Whirlpool designation.

This is why this oven is searched for both as “IKEA oven FXTP6” and as “Whirlpool oven FXTP6”: the manual, however, is published by Whirlpool, and that is the one you will find on this page.

Practical consequence: to order a part or call a repairman, provide the model code FXTP6 as well as the full reference that follows the word “Service” on the rating plate, visible on the right inner edge of the cavity when the door is open. It is this reference, and not the brand displayed on the front of your kitchen, that precisely identifies your appliance.

Does this manual also apply to the FXRP6, FXTM6, FXVM6 or FXQP6 ovens?
Frequently Asked Questions - just now
Response Notice-Facile

These codes refer to built-in ovens from the same family, manufactured by Whirlpool for IKEA. They share the essentials: the touch control panel, the menu logic, the Pyrolytic function, and the cooking tables.

The manual presented here is for the FXTP6. It remains useful for the neighbouring models, with a caveat that the manufacturer himself states: several paragraphs specify "only on certain models". The temperature probe, the rotisserie, the retractable upper heating element, or the side bulb are not present everywhere.

Before relying on a procedure, note the exact model code on the rating plate of your oven, inside the cavity on the right side. If your code differs, the safety instructions, installation, and maintenance remain valid, but check the functions available on your own display.

What is the difference between the numbers IND.C., PROD.N. and S.N. on the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 19 d
Response Notice-Facile

The WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven has three identification numbers on the metal plate inside the appliance (on the right inner edge of the door when it is open):

  • IND.C. = individual identification code of the oven
  • PROD.N. = product number (identifies the FXTP6 model)
  • S.N. = serial number - this is the most important for identifying your appliance and contacting after-sales service

The S.N. (serial number) is particularly useful as it contains the year of manufacture, usually in the second position (second digit or letter). For example:

  • A = 2021
  • B = 2022
  • C = 2023
  • D = 2024

Keep this information safe for any assistance or warranty requests with Whirlpool.

Mon four ne chauffe pas résolu

La lumière s’allume, elle est extrêmement chaude les tuyaux en haut est tiède, mais le four ne chauffe pas

Report this question
N Notice-Facile - 24 d

Le symptôme que vous décrivez (lumière allumée, ventilation tiède en haut, mais cavité froide) correspond souvent à un problème de sélection de mode ou de programmation.

Vérifiez le sélecteur de fonction : assurez-vous qu'il est positionné sur un mode de cuisson (chaleur tournante, chaleur traditionnelle, gril...) et non sur une position "lumière seule" ou "ventilateur seul". La lumière s'allume indépendamment du mode de chauffe.

Vérifiez la programmation horaire : si une heure de début ou de fin a été saisie par erreur, le four peut s'allumer (lumière, ventilateur) sans chauffer tant que l'heure programmée n'est pas atteinte. Annulez toute programmation active depuis le panneau de commande.

Réinitialisez l'électronique : coupez le disjoncteur du four pendant 1 minute, remettez sous tension, puis testez à nouveau avec un mode de cuisson standard.

Si le four reste froid après ces vérifications, l'élément chauffant ou le thermostat de sécurité est probablement défaillant. Contactez dans ce cas le service Whirlpool ou un technicien agréé en précisant le modèle FXTP6.

What should I do if my WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven does not turn on?
Frequently Asked Questions - 06/29/2026
Response Notice-Facile

Here are the steps to check if your WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven does not turn on:

1. Check the power supply

  • Ensure that the oven is properly plugged into the electrical socket
  • Test the socket by plugging in another device (lamp, coffee maker) to confirm it is working
  • Check that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel has not tripped

2. Check the child lock

If the symbol "0--n" is displayed on the screen, the child lock mode is activated. To deactivate it, press both navigation buttons simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. Hold the pressure until the padlock symbol disappears.

3. Check the door

The FXTP6 oven has safety sensors that prevent it from turning on if the door is not completely closed. Ensure that the door closes with an audible click and that no object is obstructing its closure.

4. Reset the electronic system

Unplug the oven from the electrical socket for at least 5 minutes to allow a complete reset of the electronic system. Then plug it back in and try to restart it.

If the problem persists after these checks: there may be a failure of the temperature sensor (code FIEI) or the control panel. Contact an authorised WHIRLPOOL service centre, as electronic repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician for safety reasons.

How to access the pyrolytic cleaning function on the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 06/12/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To access the pyrolytic cleaning function on your WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven, first press the Home button on the touch control panel if the oven is in standby, then navigate as follows:

  • Use the navigation keys to select Cleaning from the main menu
  • Confirm your choice: the display will offer you two cycles
  • Select your option:
    • Pyro Express (economical cycle): ideal for regular cleaning, consumes about 25% less electricity than a standard cycle. Recommended after 2 or 3 meat cookings
    • Pyro (standard cycle): for a thorough clean when the oven is heavily soiled
  • Confirm your choice with the confirmation button

Preparation before starting: The display shows a series of steps to validate. Turn off the hob above the oven, remove all accessories and side racks, then clean the glass with a damp sponge. Validate each step by pressing the confirmation button.

Once you have confirmed the last preparatory step, the display shows a warning message for about 3 seconds. The door then locks automatically and the cycle begins. Inside, the temperature rises to about 500 °C to turn all residues into easily removable ashes.

During and after cleaning: Do not touch the oven and keep children away. Depending on the chosen cycle, the operation lasts between 1 hour 30 minutes (Pyro Express) and 3 hours (Pyro). At the end, a confirmation message appears and you will see a cooling bar. The door remains locked until the internal temperature drops to a safe level. Once the oven has cooled down, you can easily remove the ashes with a damp sponge.

Does the door of the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven remain cool during cooking?
Frequently Asked Questions - 06/11/2026
Response Notice-Facile

Yes, the door of the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven remains cool during cooking. The oven features a sophisticated cooling system combining triple insulating glazing and active ventilation to keep the external surface at a safe touch temperature.

The four key elements of this system are:

  • Triple insulating glazing: Three layers of glass insulate the internal heat. The outer glass remains significantly cooler than the inside of the oven, even at maximum cooking temperature (250 °C).
  • Natural ventilation through the door: When the door is closed, hot air gradually escapes through the opening located above the control panel. This natural circulation prevents heat from accumulating around the door.
  • Active cooling fan: The oven has a specialized fan that operates during cooking (intermittently to reduce energy consumption) and continues after switching off to accelerate the cooling of the door and the cavity.
  • Ventilated drop-down design: The structure of the door itself incorporates an internal ventilation system that promotes the circulation of cold air.

In practice, you can touch the door without the risk of burns even during intensive cooking. The effectiveness of this system has been validated during standardized tests.

To maintain this performance, clean the oven glass only with a soft, damp cloth with mild soap once cooled. Absolutely avoid abrasive sponges, steel wool, or metal scrapers that could damage the glazing and compromise its insulation. Never pour water directly into the hot oven, as this could crack the glass. If condensation appears on the glass after prolonged cooking (especially with very moist foods like vegetables), wipe it with a dry cloth once the oven has cooled.

How to cook a cheese soufflé in the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 06/09/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To successfully cook a cheese soufflé in the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven, use the Static heat mode (top and bottom elements), which is ideal for delicate cooking such as soufflés. This function ensures even cooking without turbulent air circulation that could cause your soufflé to collapse.

Recommended cooking settings:

  • Mode: Static heat
  • Temperature: 180°C to 190°C
  • Duration: 25 to 35 minutes depending on size (a medium soufflé takes about 30 minutes)
  • Position: Place the soufflé in the middle of the oven for even cooking

Do not open the oven door during the first 20 minutes of cooking. Check the cooking from 25 minutes by looking through the glass: the soufflé should be puffed up and slightly golden on the surface, with a slightly wobbly centre when touched (if you prefer a firmer centre, extend by an additional 5 minutes).

Thanks to the generous capacity of 73 litres and the triple glazing of the FXTP6, you benefit from excellent thermal insulation and optimal visibility to monitor your cooking without opening the door.

How to effectively clean a Whirlpool washing machine FXTP6?
Frequently Asked Questions - 04/02/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To keep your Whirlpool electric oven FXTP6 in excellent condition and prolong its lifespan, regular cleaning is essential. Always wait for the oven to cool completely before cleaning and preferably unplug it.

Cleaning the interior after each use: Allow the oven to cool, then clean the interior with products specifically designed for ovens, following the manufacturer's instructions. Never use abrasive sponges, steel wool, or steam cleaners, as these can damage the enamel surfaces. Regularly wipe the door glass with a suitable liquid detergent. In case of condensation on the glass, wipe it with a cloth as soon as the oven is cold.

Cleaning the accessories: Immediately after use, soak the grill and drip tray in hot water with dish soap. Use a brush or sponge to detach food residues, then rinse and dry before replacing.

Cleaning the exterior: Wipe the surfaces with a damp microfiber cloth. If any products are accidentally spilled, clean immediately. Never use corrosive products or abrasive detergents on the exterior.

Cleaning the catalytic walls (if present): Run the oven empty at 200°C for about an hour by selecting the Forced air function. Once cooled, remove food residues with a damp sponge.

Pyrolysis - high-temperature automatic cleaning: Your oven features two innovative pyrolysis cycles. The Pyro Express cycle (economical) is recommended regularly after 2 to 3 meat cookings; the standard Pyro cycle ensures thorough cleaning when the oven is very dirty. These cycles burn residues at around 500°C and turn them into ashes that can be easily removed with a damp sponge once the oven has cooled. Before any pyrolysis cycle, turn off the hob above the oven, remove all accessories and side grills, and clean significant deposits from the glass with a damp sponge. The door automatically locks during the cycle and unlocks once the temperature has dropped to a safe level.

  • The display then shows the proposed end time (example: 19:20). Position the cursor on “END TIME” using the navigation keys.
  • Press the selection button: the end time will start to blink.
  • Use the “+” and “-” keys to increase or decrease the time until you reach the desired end time (example: 20:10 for the dish to be cooked by 20:10).
  • Confirm with the validation button. The display suggests which shelf level to place your dish (1 being the lowest).
  • Press the start button: the oven will automatically begin cooking at the calculated time to finish at the programmed time.

Important: during the waiting phase before the automatic start, you can start cooking immediately by pressing the start button if you no longer wish to wait.

How to perform a factory reset on a Whirlpool FXTP6 appliance?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/30/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The built-in electric oven Whirlpool FXTP6 does not have a complete factory reset function accessible via the menu. However, you can perform a complete restart of the electronic system which resets the settings and clears any error codes.

Reset procedure:

  • Step 1: Unplug the power cord of your FXTP6 oven from the electrical socket.
  • Step 2: Wait for about 5 minutes without the oven being powered. This delay allows the electronic circuits to fully discharge and resets the digital controller.
  • Step 3: Plug the power cord back into the electrical socket.
  • Step 4: Press the on/off button to reactivate the oven. The display will light up and you will need to select the language and set the time again (as during the first use).

This procedure is effective for resolving malfunctions of the electronic programmer, displayed error codes, or touchscreen issues. The system thus returns to its initial state without retaining your customised settings.

If the oven displays nothing or the screen remains black after this reset, turn the appliance off again for a few minutes and then restart it. If the problem persists, contact an authorised Whirlpool after-sales service, especially if you observe an error code with the letter "E" followed by a number, which indicates a technical malfunction requiring professional intervention.

How can I find the year of manufacture of my Whirlpool FXTP6 appliance?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/29/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To find out the year of manufacture of your Whirlpool FXTP6 oven, you first need to locate the rating plate affixed to the appliance. This is located on the right inner edge of the oven cavity, and it is visible when you fully open the door. It is a grey or metallic label that should never be removed.

On this rating plate, you will find a serial number made up of several digits and letters. The year of manufacture is encoded in this number, usually at the second position (second digit or letter). If this position contains a letter, it corresponds to a specific year according to the Whirlpool coding system: A = 2021, B = 2022, C = 2023, D = 2024, X = 2020, Y = 2010, W = 2009, U = 2008, T = 2007, S = 2006, R = 2005, P = 2004, M = 2003, L = 2001, K = 2000, J = 1999. For example, a number starting with "21..." indicates the year 2021 if the second character is an "A".

Important: the letter code repeats every 30 years. If your serial number contains an "X" in the second position, it could indicate either 1990 or 2020. In this case, examine the general condition of the appliance or consult your warranty booklet to determine the exact year: an oven from 1990 would be in very poor condition.

If you are unable to decipher the code directly or if you have any doubts about the year, you can contact the authorised Whirlpool After-Sales Service by providing them with the serial number and the reference marked "Service" on the rating plate. The after-sales service will be able to confirm the year of manufacture precisely and any other information related to your appliance.

Keep the information from the rating plate in a safe place, especially for maintenance, repair, or warranty interventions. This data will allow technicians to correctly identify your oven and offer you the appropriate spare parts.

What does the "stop" display mean on the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven and how can I resolve this issue?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/28/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The "stop" display on your WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven indicates an interruption of operation triggered by a safety mechanism or a malfunction. This message usually occurs when the oven detects an anomaly and cuts off the power for your protection.

First, check the door closure. The FXTP6 oven has a drop-down ventilated door equipped with safety sensors. If the door is not completely closed or if it closes poorly, the safety system cuts off the power and displays "stop". Ensure that the door closes properly until it clicks, without any obstruction. Also, check that the door seal is not damaged or worn, as a faulty seal can prevent proper closure.

Next, check the control panel and buttons. This model has touch buttons that can become stuck or jammed if dust, crumbs, or moisture accumulate on them. Gently clean the control panel with a damp microfibre cloth and dry it. Ensure that you have not accidentally pressed the On/Off button.

Perform a complete electronic reset. Unplug the oven from the electrical socket for at least 5 minutes. This complete disconnection resets the internal electronic system (the control microprocessor) and clears any stored error codes. After 5 minutes, plug the oven back in and try to restart it. If the display lights up normally and the message has disappeared, the problem is often resolved. Repeat the operation a second time if necessary.

Check your cooking settings. The FXTP6 oven may display "stop" if you have started a cooking process with incomplete settings (for example, a temperature selected but no cooking duration or end time programmed). Ensure that you have configured all the required settings: cooking mode (forced air, grill, etc.), temperature, and cooking duration. Restart the cooking process correctly.

If the problem persists, contact an authorised after-sales service. If the "stop" message reappears despite these checks, it may indicate a malfunction of the electronic system, the door sensor, or an internal component requiring professional intervention. Note exactly when the message appears and what you were doing at the time of the issue. When you call the service, specify the oven reference number (visible inside when the door is open) and the number following the word "Service" on the rating plate.

What should I do if my Whirlpool FXTP6 oven is not heating?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/27/2026
Response Notice-Facile

If your Whirlpool FXTP6 oven is not heating, the first step is to check the power supply. Ensure that the oven is properly plugged in and that the main circuit breaker in the electrical panel has not tripped. Test the socket with another appliance to confirm that it is supplying power. You can also turn the oven off and then back on by pressing the On/Off button: this may resolve a temporary malfunction of the electronic programmer.

Once the power supply is verified, check the oven settings. Access the main menu by pressing the dedicated button and ensure that you have selected a cooking function with heating (Conventional, Forced air, Grill, etc.) and not a mode without heating such as Defrost. Confirm that the temperature is set (minimum 50°C) and that you have started the cooking process by pressing the start button. If the display shows an error code (a letter followed by a number), note this code: it indicates a specific problem identified by the oven's electronics.

Also check the heating elements of the FXTP6. This oven is equipped with three heating elements: upper, circular (not visible from the outside), and lower. If you have access to the inside of the oven after unplugging it and allowing it to cool, visually inspect the lower and upper elements for signs of burning or cracks. A damaged element will prevent heating and will need to be replaced by a professional.

If the oven door remains open during cooking, the heating elements will automatically deactivate for safety. Ensure that the door is properly closed before and during any cooking attempts. The cooling fan may intermittently turn on during cooking to reduce energy consumption: this is normal behaviour, especially if there are multiple accessories inside.

If after these checks the oven still does not heat, contact the authorised Whirlpool After-sales service providing the following information: a precise description of the fault, the exact model (FXTP6), the Service reference (visible on the rating plate inside the oven when the door is open), and the error code number if there is one. Do not attempt to repair the electrical components or the internal thermostat yourself, as this could compromise your safety and void the warranty.

What does the error code "0--n" on the Whirlpool FXTP6 screen mean and how can I resolve the ignition issue?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/24/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The code "0--n" displayed on your Whirlpool FXTP6 screen does not indicate a fault, but rather the activation of the child lock function (or child safety). This system intentionally locks all the buttons on the control panel to prevent any accidental use of the appliance. You will recognise this activation by the presence of a padlock symbol that appears on the digital display.

To deactivate the child lock and regain normal access to the controls, perform this simple manoeuvre: press both navigation buttons simultaneously (the buttons used to navigate the menus) for at least 3 seconds. Hold the pressure without releasing until the padlock symbol disappears from the display and the code "0--n" clears. Your oven will then be fully operational.

If after this operation the code persists, or if the screen still does not respond, unplug the Whirlpool FXTP6 from its power socket for at least 5 minutes to allow a complete reset of the electronic system. Then plug the appliance back in and try to turn on the oven normally by pressing the on/off button.

Note: the child lock function can be activated even during cooking, which explains why you may have activated it without noticing. If you do not use this safety feature on a daily basis, just check that you are not inadvertently pressing the button combination that activates it.

If the message "0--n" frequently reappears despite these interventions, or if the appliance continues to be unresponsive after the reset, contact the authorised Whirlpool After-sales service providing the oven reference number (visible inside the cavity, on the right edge when the door is open).

Does the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven start cooking automatically after preheating is complete?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/19/2026
Response Notice-Facile

No, the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven does not start cooking automatically after preheating is complete. Once the oven has reached the set temperature, it emits a sound signal to alert you, but it waits for your action to start cooking. You must press the start button to begin the cooking cycle.

The behaviour varies slightly depending on the preheating mode you are using. In rapid preheating mode, the oven automatically selects the "natural convection" function when the temperature is reached. At this point, a sound signal alerts you, then it displays the message "The oven is hot!" inviting you to place the dish to be cooked inside. You can then manually start cooking with the dedicated button, or change the cooking function if you prefer to use another mode (grill, forced air, etc.).

If you have activated standard preheating (by setting the "PREHEATING" option to "Yes" when selecting your cooking function), the oven performs a preheating to the temperature you have set. Again, after preheating, you must press the start button to begin the actual cooking.

Summary of the procedure:

  • Select your cooking function (natural convection, forced air, grill, etc.) and set the temperature
  • Activate preheating if desired (set to "Yes") or start directly without preheating
  • The oven heats up to the desired temperature and emits a sound signal
  • You must then press the start button (✓) to begin cooking
  • You can also programme a cooking duration and/or an end time by delaying the start if necessary

This feature gives you complete control over when cooking starts and prevents any unintentional activation of the appliance.

Why does the cooling fan continue to run after the Whirlpool FXTP6 oven is turned off?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/12/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The cooling fan of your Whirlpool FXTP6 continuing to operate after the oven is turned off is a perfectly normal and controlled behaviour. This function is integrated into the thermal management system of the appliance.

According to the technical manual for the FXTP6, the cooling fan may continue to run for a while after the oven is switched off. This automated system extends the cooling of internal components, including:

  • The heating elements (top, bottom, and circular)
  • The internal thermal insulation
  • The heat-sensitive electronic circuits

Additionally, during cooking, the fan may turn on intermittently to optimise energy consumption while maintaining a stable temperature. This periodic stop-start is a normal regulation feature, not a malfunction.

Active cooling offers several benefits: it extends the lifespan of the oven by preventing thermal overloads, improves energy efficiency (class A), and makes the appliance safer to access after use. Remember that the ventilated drop-down door of the FXTP6 also allows heat to escape through the opening located above the control panel.

You only need to be concerned if: the fan runs continuously after several hours without interruption, it makes unusual noises, or cooling never occurs. In these cases, contact an authorised Whirlpool after-sales service.

Why does the programming of my Whirlpool FXTP6 oven stop during cooking and the thermostat reset to zero?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/11/2026
Response Notice-Facile

If your Whirlpool FXTP6 oven interrupts its programming during cooking and the display resets to zero or reinitialises, this generally indicates a reset of the electronic system. Before contacting after-sales service, first check these essential points:

Check the power supply: A power cut, even brief, causes the programming to be erased and the thermostat to reset. Ensure that the power cable is properly plugged in, that the circuit breaker associated with the oven has not tripped, and that no socket is malfunctioning. You can check the state of the electrical installation using another appliance plugged into the same circuit.

Check that the oven door is properly closed: This is a crucial point. A poorly closed or misaligned door automatically disables the heating elements and may interrupt cooking for safety reasons. Close the door completely, ensuring that it locks correctly. If the door seal is damaged or if the door does not close tightly, it will not keep the programming active.

Avoid accidental pressing of the On/Off button: Accidental contact with the on/off button on the control panel immediately stops cooking and resets the display. If someone or something brushes against this button during cooking, everything stops. Ensure that nothing obstructs access to the control panel.

Reset the oven: Unplug the oven from its power socket for about 5 minutes, then plug it back in. This performs a complete reset of the electronic system, which may correct some temporary malfunctions. Once reconnected, you will need to reprogram the time and cooking settings.

Check your programming: Carefully re-read the programming you are entering. On the FXTP6, the cooking duration is displayed under “COOKING TIME”, and the end time under “END TIME”. If you accidentally programmed a short duration, the oven will automatically stop after this time. Refer to the cooking chart in the manual for the appropriate times for your food.

If the problem persists: If after these checks the oven continues to stop or reset its programming without apparent reason, it is likely that an internal component is defective (thermostat, electronic board, or sensor). Contact the authorised Whirlpool after-sales service specifying the FXTP6 model, the exact type of fault, and mentioning the steps you have already tried. If an error code appears (letters or numbers), note it down precisely, as it will assist the technician in diagnosing the issue.

How to use the grill function on the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 01/11/2026
Response Notice-Facile

Your WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven has a grill function with an adjustable power level. To use it effectively, access the functions menu by pressing the corresponding button on the control panel, then select "Grill" using the navigation buttons. The display will then prompt you to choose the desired power level (from the 3 available) and allow you to adjust the other cooking settings.

To change the power or temperature of the grill, follow this procedure: ensure that the slider is positioned on the power value (zone 1), press the selection button so that the values flash, then modify them using the navigation buttons until you reach the desired level. Confirm with the appropriate button. The display will then indicate which shelf level to place your dish on (1 being the lowest).

To optimise your cooking, position your food on the 4th or 5th shelf level for standard grilling (steaks, skewers, sausages, gratin vegetables, bread to brown). If you are cooking meat, place a drip tray with half a litre of water on the 3rd or 4th shelf level, directly under the grill containing your meat, to catch the cooking juices. It is not necessary to preheat the oven with the grill function.

During the entire cooking process, keep the oven door closed to ensure an even result. For meat, choose pieces of the same thickness for uniform cooking. If your meat is very thick, increase the cooking time and move it away from the heat source by placing the grill on a lower shelf level. Turn the meat after two-thirds of the cooking time. You can turn the food and adjust the power at any time by following the same adjustment procedure.

At the end of cooking, carefully remove your dishes using oven gloves, as the grill and accessories will be very hot. Avoid any contact with the upper heating element of the grill (the upper heating element). Never touch the oven with wet hands and wait for all components to cool down before cleaning or performing maintenance on the oven.

What should I do if the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven displays "OVEN FAILURE" with code F1E1 (sometimes read as FIEI)?
Frequently Asked Questions - 12/27/2025
Response Notice-Facile

On the oven's display, the 1 and the I look very similar: the code read as "FIEI" is actually F1E1. This is useful to know when communicating it to the after-sales service without confusion.

What the FXTP6 manual says

The manual is explicit and deliberately brief on this point: "If the letter F followed by a number is displayed, contact your after-sales service. In this case, specify the number that follows the letter F." In other words, all codes starting with F indicate a fault that the oven cannot correct on its own, and the manual does not provide a detailed code table. Be wary of lists of meanings found elsewhere: they often concern other models.

The only action to attempt yourself

  • Unplug the oven, or turn off the circuit breaker supplying it.
  • Wait about ten minutes: the electronic board must fully discharge.
  • Plug it back in, then turn it on with the On/Off button.

If the code was due to a temporary disturbance, it will disappear. If it reappears immediately or after a few minutes, the fault is hardware-related and you need to call the after-sales service.

What not to do

Do not open the oven to intervene on the electrical components. The manual specifies that installation and maintenance operations are exclusively the responsibility of a qualified technician, and that no repairs other than those described in the manual should be undertaken. Any intervention on your part would void the warranty and expose you to electrical risk.

What to prepare before calling

  • the exact code displayed, F1E1;
  • the model, FXTP6;
  • the reference that follows the word "Service" on the rating plate, visible on the right inner edge of the cavity when the door is open, and also noted in the warranty booklet;

How to correctly install the glass spacers on the door of the Whirlpool FXTP6 oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 12/25/2025
Response Notice-Facile

The glass spacers of the Whirlpool FXTP6 oven are small plastic pieces located inside the door, usually at the corners or at the bottom of the frame. Their role is to securely hold the glass in place, prevent any direct contact between the glass and the metal frame, and allow access to the inner glass for thorough cleaning. The FXTP6 features triple insulating glazing, which requires precise installation of these spacers to maintain thermal efficiency.

Essential preparation: Before working on the glass spacers, completely disconnect the oven from the mains power supply and allow it to cool down completely. Work with protective gloves to avoid injury. If access to the spacers is difficult from the front, disassemble the door by fully opening it, lifting the two stop levers forward, then closing the door, lifting it, and pivoting it until it detaches from the hinges.

Location and positioning: Identify the designated locations for the spacers inside the door frame, usually at the bottom of the glass or at the four corners of the frame. The spacers are often held in place by a fixing screw. Ensure that no glass covers access to these screws. You will typically find two main spacers that support the entire glazing.

Installation of the spacers: Place each spacer in its designated slot, ensuring that it fits correctly and perpendicularly to the frame. Secure it with its screw by tightening it firmly but not excessively, which could damage the plastic or distort the glass. The spacers should hold the glass firmly without applying excessive pressure. Refer to the oven's rating plate for the exact orientation if a maintenance manual is present.

Verification and reassembly: Check that each spacer is securely fixed by attempting to move it slightly. The glass should not move or tilt. Ensure that there is no excessive play between the glass and the frame, and that the glass rests properly on all its spacers. If the door has been disassembled, reassemble it by placing the hinges back in their respective slots, lowering the two stop levers, and then closing the door.

Finishing touches and safety: Once the spacers are correctly installed and the door is reassembled, reconnect the oven. Test the door by opening and closing it several times to ensure that the glass remains stable and that the door closes perfectly. Avoid placing heavy objects on the door, as this could damage the glazing or the spacers. To clean the glass of the FXTP6 without damaging the spacers, never use a sharp metal scraper that could scratch the glass.

How to effectively clean a WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 12/02/2025
Response Notice-Facile

Your WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven features an automatic pyrolysis function, the best solution for effective and effortless cleaning. This function burns food residues at around 500°C and transforms them into ashes that you can easily wipe away with a sponge.

Using pyrolysis: Access the "Cleaning" menu on the control panel and choose one of the two available cycles. The Pyro Express/Eco cycle (25% reduced consumption) is suitable for regular maintenance after 2 to 3 meat cookings. The standard Pyro cycle (about 3 hours) is recommended if the oven is very dirty or if odors/smoke persist. The oven will notify you when a cycle is necessary. Before starting pyrolysis, remove all accessories (grids, drip trays, rotisserie) and clean significant deposits from the door with a damp sponge. The door locks automatically during the cycle: do not touch the oven and keep children away. After the cycle, wait for the temperature to drop to a safe level before opening the door.

Regular maintenance between cycles: After each use, allow the oven to cool and clean it preferably when it is warm. Wipe the interior with a damp sponge to prevent residues (especially sugar) from sticking. Never use abrasive sponges or steel wool, as they can scratch the enamel. If significant residues remain, use specialized oven cleaning products, strictly following their instructions.

Cleaning the glass and door: Wipe the inside of the door with a cloth or sponge after each use if condensation has formed. Use an appropriate liquid detergent and a soft cloth for the outer glass. Never use a metal scraper or abrasive products: you risk scratching the triple insulating glazing of the FXTP6.

Accessories: Wash grids and drip trays in soapy hot water or in the dishwasher. Soak immediately after use with dishwashing liquid and remove residues with a brush or sponge. If your oven has side catalytic panels, operate them at 200°C in convection heat for about an hour, then clean with a sponge when cool.

Important precautions: Never pour water directly into a hot oven (this damages the enamel). Do not use a steam cleaning device. Always unplug the appliance before performing maintenance. By following these tips and regularly utilizing pyrolysis, your FXTP6 oven will remain spotless with minimal effort.

How to correct a 50 degrees Celsius discrepancy between the displayed temperature and the actual temperature on a WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 11/29/2025
Response Notice-Facile

A 50 degrees Celsius discrepancy between the displayed temperature and the actual temperature of the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven is a serious issue that directly affects cooking quality. This abnormally large discrepancy can arise from several sources: a faulty temperature sensor, malfunctioning heating elements, or a defective electronic control circuit. Here’s how to diagnose and correct this problem.

Check the actual temperature of the oven: Start by placing a reliable independent kitchen thermometer in the centre of the oven, preferably at shelf level 3 (the most commonly used). Preheat the oven to 200 °C and wait for the preheating to finish (the oven will display the end of preheating message). Note the temperature displayed on the control panel and compare it with that of the independent thermometer after at least 10 minutes of operation. Repeat this check at several temperatures (150 °C, 180 °C, 220 °C) to determine if the discrepancy is consistent or variable.

Reset the oven electronics: If you confirm a systematic 50 °C discrepancy, start with a simple reset. Unplug the oven from the electrical socket for at least 5 minutes to reset the electronic control circuit. Then plug it back in and test again. This operation may resolve temporary anomalies of the sensor or the programmer.

Check the temperature probe: The FXTP6 has a thermal probe (NTC sensor) that measures the temperature inside the oven and sends this information to the control circuit. A faulty or dirty probe can give an incorrect reading. Ensure that the inside of the oven is perfectly clean, especially around the back wall where the probe is often located. If the probe is covered with food residues or grease, gently clean it with a damp, warm sponge once the oven has completely cooled down.

Check the heating elements and ventilation: Inspect the heating elements (top, bottom, and circular elements) for visible damage. Ensure that the cooling fan is functioning correctly, especially after the oven is turned off. The fan should continue to run for several minutes after the oven is closed. Poor air circulation or a faulty element can cause uneven heat distribution and temperature reading errors.

Contact WHIRLPOOL after-sales service: If after these checks the discrepancy persists, this likely indicates a failure of the temperature probe or the electronic control circuit that cannot be repaired by the user. Contact the authorised WHIRLPOOL after-sales service specifying the model FXTP6, the nature of the fault (50 °C discrepancy), and the tests you have performed. Generally, the replacement of the probe or the repair of the control circuit can only be carried out by a qualified technician.

How to perform a self-cleaning on the WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven?
Frequently Asked Questions - 11/26/2025
Response Notice-Facile

The WHIRLPOOL FXTP6 oven is equipped with a pyrolytic cleaning function that uses a very high temperature (around 500 °C) to turn cooking residues into easily removable ash. Here’s how to start this automatic cleaning cycle.

Before you begin: This cleaning should not be carried out systematically after each use. Use it only when the oven is very dirty or in case of smoke and unpleasant odours during preheating or cooking.

Steps to start the cycle:

  • Step 1: On the control panel of the oven, select “Cleaning” from the main menu using the navigation buttons, then confirm.
  • Step 2: The display offers you two options: “Express Pyrolysis” (economic cycle of about 2h30 to 3h) or “Pyrolysis” (standard cycle of about 3h for a more thorough cleaning).
  • Step 3: Choose the desired cycle and confirm. The display shows the duration of the cycle and the estimated end time.
  • Step 4: The oven then displays three instructions to be confirmed sequentially: (1) turn off the hob above the oven, (2) remove all accessories and side racks from the oven, (3) clean the glass with a damp sponge to remove the most significant deposits. Confirm each step by pressing the confirmation button.
  • Step 5: The oven automatically locks, a warning message appears, and then the cycle begins. The oven door locks and remains locked throughout the cleaning process.

During and after the cycle: Do not open the door during the entire cleaning process. Keep children away from the oven. Once the cycle is complete, the oven displays the message “Finished” and begins to cool down. The door remains locked until the temperature drops to a safe level. Wait for the displayed temperature to drop to zero before opening it.

Final cleaning: Once the oven has completely cooled down, the residues will have turned into light ash. Wipe the inside of the oven with a damp cloth or sponge to remove the ash.

Important tips: The “Express Pyrolysis” cycle consumes 25% less energy and is recommended if you regularly use the function (for example, after cooking meat 2 to 3 times in a row). Reserve the full “Pyrolysis” cycle for situations where the oven is very dirty. If you open the door before the automatic locking, a warning message appears; close the door and restart the cycle.

The upper heating element of the grill (see MAINTENANCE) can be lowered (on certain models only) to allow cleaning of the oven vault.

NOTE: during prolonged cooking of foods containing a lot of water (for example, pizzas, vegetables, etc.), condensation may form inside the door and around the seal. As soon as the oven is cold, wipe the inside of the door with a cloth or sponge.

Accessories:

  • Soak the accessories in water containing washing-up liquid immediately after use, handling them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Use a brush or sponge to easily detach food residues.

Cleaning the rear wall and the side catalytic panels of the oven (if present)

IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive products or abrasive detergents, hard brushes, scouring pads or oven cleaning sprays, as they may damage the catalytic surface and cause it to lose its self-cleaning properties.

  • Run the oven empty at 200 °C for about one hour by selecting the Forced air function. Once this time has elapsed, allow the appliance to cool, then remove food residues with a sponge.

Warning

Do not touch the oven during pyrolytic cleaning. Keep children away from the oven during pyrolytic cleaning.

This function burns off splashes produced inside the oven during cooking at around 500°C. These residues turn into ashes that can be easily removed with a damp sponge once the oven has cooled down. Do not systematically perform a pyrolytic cleaning after each use. This only applies when the oven is very dirty or in the presence of smoke and unpleasant odours during preheating or cooking.

If the oven is installed under a hob, ensure that the burners or hot plates are turned off before starting the cleaning cycle (pyrolysis). - Accessories must be removed from the oven before starting the pyrolytic cleaning (side racks as well). For optimal cleaning of the oven door, remove the most significant deposits using a damp sponge before using the Pyrolysis function.

The appliance has 2 pyrolytic functions (including side racks):

  1. Economical cycle (PYRO EXPRESS/ECO CLEANING): consumption is reduced by about 25% compared to a standard cycle. It is recommended to activate this cycle regularly (after cooking meat 2 to 3 times in a row).
  2. Standard cycle (PYRO CLEANING): it ensures effective cleaning when the oven is very dirty. In any case, after a certain number of cookings and when the oven is very dirty, a message will appear prompting you to perform a self-cleaning cycle.

NOTE: during pyrolytic cleaning, the oven door is locked and will remain so until the temperature inside the oven has dropped to an appropriate safety level.

The cooking table suggests the functions and ideal temperatures to achieve the best results for each recipe. If you wish to cook on a shelf level using only the Forced Convection function, place the foods on the second shelf level and select the recommended temperature for the "FORCED AIR" function on more than one shelf level.

The indications contained in the table exclude the use of slides. Perform the tests without slides.

To grill foods, it is advisable to leave a space of 3 to 4 cm from the front edge of the grid to facilitate extraction.

Energy efficiency class (in accordance with EN 60350-1:2013-07)

To perform the test, use the provided table.

Energy consumption and preheating time

Select the function and perform the test only with the "Preheat" option activated ("Preheat where").

Control of the accuracy test

Select the function and perform the test only with the "Preheat" option deactivated (when preheating is activated, the oven control intentionally creates a temperature profile oscillation).

How to read the cooking table

The table indicates the best function to use for a specific food, to be cooked on one or more shelf levels simultaneously. The cooking times refer to the introduction of the dish into the oven, excluding preheating (when requested). The temperatures and cooking durations are indicative and depend on the quantity to be cooked and the type of accessory. Initially, use the lowest recommended values and, if the cooking result is not as desired, move to higher values. We recommend using the provided accessories and moulds or dishes if possible in dark metal. It is also possible to use Pyrex or ceramic pots and accessories; cooking times will increase slightly. To achieve results, carefully follow the advice represented in the cooking table for the choice of accessories to be positioned on the different shelf levels.

Simultaneous cooking of different foods

By using the "FORCED AIR" function, it is possible to cook several foods simultaneously (for example: fish and vegetables) requiring the same temperature, on different shelf levels. Remove the foods requiring shorter cooking times and allow the cooking to continue for those with longer times.

Pastry

  • Cook pastry with the conventional function on a single shelf level. Use dark metal cake moulds and always place them on the provided grid. For cooking on multiple shelf levels, select the forced air function and arrange the moulds staggered on the grids, to promote air circulation. To check if the cake is cooked, insert a toothpick into the highest part (usually the centre) of the cake. If the toothpick comes out dry, the cake is cooked.
  • If you are using non-stick moulds, do not grease the edges; the cake may not rise evenly around the perimeter.
  • If the cake "deflates" during cooking, next time use a lower temperature; you can also reduce the amount of liquid and mix the batter more gently. Pastry with juicy filling (cheesecakes or with fruits) requires the "CONVECTION FORCED" function. If the bottom of the tart is too moist, place it on a lower shelf level and sprinkle the base with breadcrumbs or crushed biscuits before adding the filling.

Meats

  • Use any type of dish appropriate to the size of the meat to be cooked. For roasts, preferably add broth to the bottom of the dish and baste the meat during cooking to make it more flavourful. When the roast is cooked, let it rest in the oven for 10-15 minutes or wrap it in aluminium foil.
  • If you wish to grill the meat, for even cooking, CHOOSE pieces of the same thickness. Very thick slices of meat require a longer cooking time. To avoid burning them, keep them away from the grill by placing the grid on lower shelf levels. Turn the meat after 2/3 of the cooking time.

We recommend using a drip tray with half a litre of water, directly under the grid on which you have placed the meat to be grilled to collect the cooking juices. Add water if necessary.

Rotisserie (available only on certain models)

This accessory is used to grill large pieces of meat and poultry evenly. Skewer the meat on the rotisserie, secure it with kitchen string if it is a chicken and ensure it does not roll before installing the spit in its housing on the front wall of the oven and then placing it on its support. To avoid smoke formation and collect the cooking juices, we recommend placing a tray on the first shelf level with half a litre of water. The spit has a plastic handle that must be removed before starting cooking and replaced at the end of cooking to take the meat out of the oven without burning yourself.

Pizzas

Lightly grease the trays to achieve a crispy pizza base. Distribute the mozzarella on the pizza two-thirds of the way through cooking.

Dough rising function

It is advisable to cover the dough with a damp cloth before placing it in the oven. The rising times in this function decrease by about one third compared to rising times at room temperature (20-25 °C). The rising time for 1 kg of pizza dough is approximately one hour.
