Whirlpool Dryer F5E2 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F5E2
Appliance Dryer

Where F5E2 shows up

Whirlpool lists F5E2 for the dryer and the washer sections of laundry towers alike. The potential cause named each time is a door switch.

Steps from the manual

  1. Check the door is shut completely. A door that seems closed may not have latched, so reopen it and press it home with a firm shove.
  2. Inspect the opening before closing: clothes must not hang outside, and the drum needs spare room to tumble. Take a few items out of a packed load.
  3. Reset the control by cutting its power, one minute for the dryer side and 5 for the washer side.

If F5E2 comes back after that, schedule service.
