Error code F9E3
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

Flashing F with F9E3 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.

F9E3 appears as a flashing F on the display and is answered with a one-minute power reset; Product Help names no cause.

A refrigerator that flashes F and reports F9E3 is asking for a power cycle first. Bottom-freezer refrigerator owners are the ones this listing speaks to.

How to reset

  1. De-energize the refrigerator for one minute by turning off the breaker or removing the plug.
  2. Turn the power back up, either at the panel or by plugging in.
  3. See that the cooling function is turned on.
  4. Give it one minute of observation to confirm the code stays away.

If the F keeps flashing, the instruction is to schedule service.
