What this code may mean.

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

Potential cause: control communication.

Whirlpool Product Help gives one potential cause for F6E5: Control Communication. The code is listed for laundry towers, covering the dryer and the washer.

Troubleshooting: cycle power

The dryer control panel is reset by disconnecting it from the power source for one minute. The washer control panel in a tower takes 5 minutes. After power returns, watch for F6E5.

If it returns

Schedule service. Whirlpool gives no further owner steps for this code.
