Error codeF0E3
ApplianceDryer
On the dryer half of a laundry tower, F0E3 is listed against over load detection.
Cycle the power
Dryer controls will occasionally recover after a reset, the way a computer might. Take away the dryer’s power for a full minute, then give it power again and check the display for F0E3. A repeat means service should be scheduled.
These steps are for the dryer half of the tower.
The washer section lists the same code but with a shorter wait of 30 seconds with power off.
Other laundry tower codes
F0E6 has a measurement sensor named as its likely source.
F0E3 coming back after the one-minute reset means a technician should see the tower. Look at Whirlpool dryer repair for San Francisco and the Bay Area, then phone (415) 687-4102 with the tower model number, the code and what the reset did.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F0E3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F0E3 lists over load detection as the potential cause on a laundry tower.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
