Potential cause
Speed sensor. That is all Whirlpool Product Help says about F1E7 on a laundry tower’s dryer section.
Power cycle
A control reset sometimes clears faults, in the way restarting a computer does. Unplug the dryer or turn off its breaker for one minute, then restore power. If F1E7 returns, schedule a technician visit. On the washer section the wait is 30 seconds.
F1E5 concerns the control unit or wiring on dryers.

If the display still reads F1E7, contact Whirlpool dryer repair at (415) 687-4102. Bring the code, the tower model number and the one-minute reset into the conversation.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F1E7 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
