Flashing F with F6E1 on a bottom-freezer Whirlpool refrigerator, with the power reset to try first.

What this code may mean.

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

F6E1 appears as a flashing F on the display and is answered with a one-minute power reset; Product Help names no cause.

Understanding F6E1

Your refrigerator is showing F6E1, and the letter F is flashing on its display.

The models named are bottom-freezer refrigerators.

A short checklist

Shut off the breaker feeding the refrigerator, or disconnect the plug, and give it one minute. Reapply power through the breaker or the outlet. Confirm the cooling function has not been left off. Check back on the display for one minute and note whether the code shows again.

If the problem continues

If F6E1 keeps showing, schedule service.
