Whirlpool

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 F2E3
Appliance Washer
Quick answer

F2E3 on a top load washer: a possible control unit, user interface or wiring issue, and the 5-minute power reset.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F2E3 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.

The F2 E3 alert indicates there may be an issue with the appliance control unit, user interface or associated wiring.

A flashing F2E3 (the manual writes it F2 E3) on a Whirlpool top load washer is a control-side alert. Whirlpool’s help text says there may be an issue with the appliance control unit, the user interface or the wiring that connects them.

Try the control reset

The manual compares it to restarting a computer. Turn the breaker off, or pull the plug if the washer is plugged into an outlet, and leave the washer without power for 5 minutes. Restore power and watch whether F2E3 shows up again.

Codes worth comparing

  • F2E4 is another top load alert pointing at the user interface or its wiring.
  • F2E5 carries the same user interface and wiring wording.
  • F3E1 is the water level alert that also names the control unit and wiring.
