What this code may mean.

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

F5E2 lists the door switch as the potential cause on laundry towers.

A door switch is the potential cause listed for F5E2 on Whirlpool laundry towers, for the dryer section and for the washer section.

What the manual suggests

  1. Make sure the door is completely closed. Looking shut is not the same as being latched, so open it and shut it with a firm push.
  2. Check the opening before closing: nothing from the laundry should stick out, and there must be enough free space for tumbling. Take out some items if the load is too big.
  3. Reset the control by removing power, one minute for the dryer and 5 minutes for the washer.

Schedule service if F5E2 comes back.

Related codes
