Compact heat pump Whirlpool dryers use F05 to F09 for this group of codes. No cause is stated; the listing is about letting the heat dissipate.

Cool-down routine

Turn the dryer off and unplug it. Open the door right away and take the laundry out so the heat can dissipate. The room should be between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C). After about one hour, plug the dryer in, load the laundry and start the program again.
