Code overview at a glance.

Error code F8E3
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

Flashing F with F8E3 on a bottom-freezer Whirlpool refrigerator, with the power reset to try first.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F8E3 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 code may mean.

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

F8E3 appears as a flashing F on the display and is answered with a one-minute power reset; Product Help names no cause.

If F8E3 is on your refrigerator display with the F flashing, there is a short routine to follow before anything else.

The owner reset

  • Let the refrigerator sit with no power for one minute, using the breaker or the plug.
  • After the wait, turn the breaker on or push the plug back in.
  • Ensure cooling is on before you walk away.
  • Observe the display for one minute to check that the fault code is gone.

What if F8E3 remains

If the reset does not clear it, book service for the refrigerator. Coverage: bottom-freezer refrigerators.

Similar codes listed alongside it:

  • F8E2: same family of refrigerator codes
  • F8E8: shares the same simple reset
  • F8E1: listed the same way in Product Help
