Restarting the control
Restarting the control board can sometimes remove a fault, as with a computer. For F0E0 on top load washers no cause is listed, and the restart is the single remedy.
Remove power either at the plug or at the breaker.
Leave it off for 5 minutes.
Restore power.
Start a cycle and see if F0E0 comes up once more.
Washer codes you may meet next
F0E1: appears when the Clean Washer cycle starts with a load inside.
If F0E0 returns once the washer has been off power for 5 minutes, a technician visit is the next move for a Whirlpool top load washer in San Francisco or the Bay Area. Phone (415) 687-4102 and see Whirlpool washer repair. Have the code and model number ready, and say you waited the full 5 minutes.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F0E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
