Error codeF0E6

Seen F0E6 on the upper or lower dryer of a Whirlpool laundry tower? Whirlpool Product Help gives one potential cause for it: a measurement sensor.
Steps before you book anything
Turn the breaker off, or pull the plug.
Wait one minute.
Restore power and look at the display.
If F0E6 appears once more, the next step is a technician visit. The tower’s washer half is power-cycled differently, by disconnecting for 30 seconds, so do not mix up the two timings.
Other tower codes worth knowing
F0E3 lists over load detection as its potential cause.
Tower dryers around San Francisco and the Bay Area are handled through Whirlpool dryer repair; ring (415) 687-4102 when F0E6 survives the reset. Keep the tower model number, the code and a note that you waited one minute with power off within reach.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F0E6 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

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.
