Quick answer
Flashing F with F4EE on a bottom-freezer Whirlpool refrigerator, with the power reset to try first.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F4EE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F4EE appears as a flashing F on the display and is answered with a one-minute power reset; Product Help names no cause.
When the refrigerator display blinks the letter F and reads F4EE, start with a simple power reset. It belongs to the bottom-freezer refrigerator group in Product Help.
Steps from Whirlpool Product Help
Power the unit down: breaker off, or plug out, for one minute.
Once the minute passes, restore the breaker or the plug connection.
Check the cooling setting and leave it on.
Watch the refrigerator for one minute to see whether the code comes back.
If the refrigerator still shows the code, call for service.
