Whirlpool Refrigerator F4E1 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F4E1
Appliance Refrigerator

The manual treats F4E1 on a bottom-freezer refrigerator purely as a matter of resetting. Its visible sign is an F that flashes.

What the manual has you do

  1. Disconnect the plug or turn off the breaker(s) and time one minute.
  2. Reconnect: breaker(s) on, or plug in.
  3. Verify cooling is on.
  4. Spend a minute checking that F4E1 stays away.

If the display does not settle

If the reset leaves the display unsettled, a technician visit is the next step.

Codes often mixed up with F4E1

  • F3E4: another entry giving a reset and no cause.
  • F4E9: a close relative, same manual reset.
  • F3EC: same code family, same breaker or plug reset.
