Whirlpool Washer Dryer F0E5 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F0E5
Appliance Washer-Dryer Combo

The washer dryer displays F0E5 after sensing that the weight in the drum is lopsided. Too much laundry, or laundry piled unevenly, is the cause.

Rebalance the drum

  1. Take some items out if the drum is packed tight.
  2. Do not wash one item on its own.
  3. For a single heavy item, a rug or a pair of jeans for example, put in a few more pieces so the weight is shared.

Effect on drying

A load that is out of balance may never get up to the intended spin speed. Slower spinning can stretch out the drying time.

San Francisco Whirlpool washer dryer service

When rebalancing does not stop F0E5 on your Whirlpool washer dryer, ask for a technician visit through Whirlpool washer repair or at (415) 687-4102. San Francisco and Bay Area households should have the model number and the loads already tried at hand.

Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F0E5 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
