Whirlpool Refrigerator F9E1 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F9E1
Appliance Refrigerator

F flashing, F9E1 displayed: the refrigerator wants a power cycle before anything else. The steps are meant for refrigerators with a bottom freezer.

Owner reset for F9E1

  1. Let the refrigerator sit unpowered for one minute; flip its breaker down or pull the cord to do it.
  2. Put the supply back at the breaker or the receptacle.
  3. Glance at the cooling control and keep it switched on.
  4. Check the readout for a full minute and note if the code is back.

What follows a failed reset

The code staying on means it is time for a technician visit. What triggers F9E1 is not stated; the power cycle comes first.

What this code means

F9E1 shows as a flashing F on a bottom-freezer refrigerator, and Product Help answers it with a one-minute power reset and states no cause.
