A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
The F6 E2 alert indicates there is an issue with the appliance control unit, user interface, or associated wiring.
F6E2 is called a washer reboot alert in Whirlpool’s top load help text. It points to the appliance control unit, the user interface or the wiring associated with them.
Reset it
Power the washer down by unplugging it or turning the breaker off. After 5 minutes, power it up and see if F6E2 is gone.
