What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

F8E4 lists the flow meter as the potential cause on a laundry tower washer.

When F8E4 appears on the washer side of a Whirlpool laundry tower, the product help lists the flow meter as the potential cause. The first thing it asks you to try is a simple reset.

Reset the washer control

Resetting the control can clear problems, much as restarting a computer does. Cut power to the washer for 5 minutes: turn the breaker off or unplug the tower, wait, then restore power and watch whether F8E4 returns. If it does, schedule service.
