Whirlpool Laundry Tower Error Codes — Complete List

The Whirlpool Laundry Tower is a one-piece stacked washer and dryer with a shared control panel, and it has its own code table — the same F#E# number can mean something different here than on a separate Whirlpool washer or dryer. F0 codes are about the load, F1 and F6 the control units and their communication, F3 the sensors, F4 the heaters and drying fan, F5 the door switch, F7 the motor, and F8 and F9 water in and out. FAE1 means the shipping bolts are still in.

• F0E2 (F0 E2) F0E2 on a Whirlpool Laundry Tower is over-suds detection — use only HE detergent, measure the dose, and clean the washer regularly.
• F0E3 (F0 E3) F0E3 on a Laundry Tower is overload detection — take some items out, reset power, and schedule service if it comes back.
• F0E4 (F0 E4) F0E4 on a Laundry Tower means the water temperature is too hot — check the hot and cold hoses are not switched, then reset power.
• F0E5 (F0 E5) F0E5 on a Laundry Tower is an off-balance load — if the clothes are dripping, reduce or rebalance the load and run a spin; if not, the cycle just took longer to balance.

For many of these codes Whirlpool publishes only a short potential cause (for example 'Flow Meter') and a power reset, so the guides say exactly that and no more. Use these guides only for the one-piece Laundry Tower.
