Whirlpool Dryer F2E1 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F2E1
Appliance Dryer

A stuck key is what F2E1 stands for. Whirlpool lists it on laundry towers, for the dryer section and also for the washer section.

Why a power cycle

Product Help likens the reset to rebooting a computer: when the control restarts, a problem can sometimes disappear.

How long to cut power

  • Dryer section: breaker off or plug pulled for one minute, then power restored.
  • Washer section: the listing says 30 seconds.

After restoring power, look at the display for F2E1. If it returns, a technician visit is the next step.

Other tower codes to compare

  • F2E2: a communication error with a similar reset
  • F2E3: a second communication error entry
  • F2E4: a user-interface or wiring code on dryers
