A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F7E7 points to a motor sensor on laundry towers and to the control unit, interface or wiring on top load washers.
The description of F7E7 depends on which Whirlpool washer you own.
Laundry towers (washer section)
The potential cause given is a motor sensor, and the troubleshooting entry reads Cycle Power.
Top load washers
The alert indicates an issue with the appliance control unit, user interface, or associated wiring.
The reset both lists share
Disconnect the washer from the power source for 5 minutes. If it is plugged in, unplug it, wait, and plug it back in. A laundry tower that repeats the code should be scheduled for service.
Comparable codes
F7E8 also lists a motor sensor, and F7E5 has reset steps only. F7E4 lists the wash basket.
