Code overview at a glance.

The facts for this Whirlpool error, a plain-language snapshot, and what to confirm against your model number.

Error code F 71
Appliance Washer
Quick answer

F 71 is shown by the washer side of a Whirlpool stacked laundry center and is handled with a power cycle.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F 71 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

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

F 71 is listed for stacked laundry center washers with only reset steps and no stated cause.

A display reading F 71 on the lower or upper washer of a Whirlpool stacked laundry center is covered by a single instruction in Product Help: cycle the power. No cause is stated for the code.

Cycle power

Disconnect the washer from its outlet and wait 2-5 minutes. This lets the machine reset. After plugging in again, see if the code has gone. If it is still present, the next step is to schedule service.

Models

Stacked laundry centers (the washer section).

Compare with

  • The code just before this one: listed with the identical reset instruction
  • F7E5: a code where Product Help gives reset steps only
  • F7E1: its stated potential cause is the motor or rotor sensor
