Whirlpool Refrigerator F8E2 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F8E2
Appliance Refrigerator

An F that flashes beside F8E2 is what the refrigerator is showing right now. This is a listing for bottom-freezer style refrigerators.

Reset steps

  1. Shut off the supply, whether that means the circuit breaker or the wall plug, and hold it off for a minute.
  2. Restore the connection that you broke: breaker on, or plug in.
  3. Cooling needs to be running, so check that it is.
  4. Hold your attention on the display for a minute to catch any return of the code.

Still flashing

Once the reset has been tried and F8E2 remains, book a technician. The manual attaches no cause to F8E2 and relies on the reset.

Other codes you may see

  • F8E1: same bottom-freezer group
  • F8E3: also a reset-only listing
  • F7E1: shares the same routine
