Quick answer

E1 is listed in the manual for undercounter refrigerators with reset steps only and no stated cause.

E1 is an error code in Whirlpool’s manual for undercounter refrigerators. The entry does not say what causes it. It only describes how to reset the unit and check that the code stays away.

  2. Power it up again by turning on the circuit breaker(s) or plugging it back in.
