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

Error code F3E3
Appliance Washer
Quick answer

F3E3 on laundry tower washers lists the water inlet temperature sensor; check hoses, cycle power, and schedule service if it returns.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E3 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.

Potential cause: Water Inlet Temperature Sensor.

The washer section of a Whirlpool laundry tower shows F3E3 when the manual’s listed potential cause is the water inlet temperature sensor.

Troubleshooting in the manual’s order

  1. Check the water hoses and make sure they are not switched: hot on hot, cold on cold.
  2. Cycle the power. Resetting the control can solve some problems, and it needs the washer disconnected from power for 5 minutes.
  3. If the error code returns, schedule service.

Related codes

F3E7 is the wash temperature sensor code and also asks about reversed hoses. F3E6 is the rotor sensor code on the same tower washers.
