Error code F6E3
Appliance Dryer
Quick answer

F6E3 is a laundry tower code with Control Communication as the potential cause.

What this code may mean.

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

Potential cause: control communication.

A Whirlpool laundry tower that displays F6E3 is flagging Control Communication as the potential cause.

Where it applies

The code is documented for the dryer section and for the washer section of laundry towers.

Fix attempt

Product Help recommends a power cycle for the dryer control. Disconnect the tower from its power source for one minute, then plug in or switch the breaker back on. Should F6E3 show again, schedule service.

The tower’s washer control is different: it must stay disconnected for 5 minutes.

Related codes

If you are comparing codes, F6E2, F6E4 and F6E5 all share this cause. F71 also begins with a breaker reset on commercial-grade dryers.
