What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F0E4 means the washer senses the water temperature is too hot.
F0E4 tells you the washer senses the water temperature is too hot. Whirlpool gives two things to do, in this order.
1. Check the water hoses
Verify the water hoses are installed correctly and switched between the hot and cold lines.
2. Cycle power
Resetting the control can sometimes solve the problem. On front load and top load washers, disconnect power for 5 minutes: unplug the washer, wait, and plug it back in. On laundry towers, 30 seconds is the listed time. If the code returns, schedule service.
Models
Front load washers, top load washers and the washer section of laundry towers.
When F0E4 stays after the hose check and reset, call (310) 448-6692 for Whirlpool washer repair in Los Angeles, with the model number and the steps you took.
Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.
Safe
Important
