Mean
The F3E2 code indicates there may be an issue with the temperature control sensor.
If your Whirlpool all-in-one washer dryer shows F3E2, there may be an issue with the temperature control sensor.
Reset the machine
Unplug it from the outlet, keep it unplugged for at least 5 minutes, and then plug it in again. An unsuccessful reset means it is time to call for service.
If the F3E2 code stays on a Los Angeles unit, phone (310) 448-6692. You can also read about washer repair first. It helps to know the model number and what you have already done.
