What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

F3E8 lists the temperature sensor as the potential cause on laundry towers.

On a Whirlpool laundry tower, F3E8 names the temperature sensor as its potential cause. The code is listed for both the dryer section and the washer section.

Reset the control

Whirlpool’s troubleshooting is to cycle power. Resetting the control can solve problems in the same way restarting a computer sometimes does. For the dryer, disconnect it from its power source for one minute and then check the display. The washer section asks for 5 minutes disconnected.

Schedule service if the error code returns.

F3E5 concerns five loads with no moisture sensor data, while F3E4 and F3E1 are other F3 entries on towers.
