Error codeF2E4

At a glance:
Washer type: top load
On the display: F2E4, also printed as F2 E4
Listed issue: the user interface or the wiring connected to it
Owner step: switch the washer off from power for 5 minutes, then start it again
Resetting through the power
Whirlpool says restarting the control can sometimes clear a problem, in the same way as rebooting a computer. Remove the plug from the outlet, or flip the breaker off, and count out 5 minutes. Then restore power. Should the display be clear, use the washer as usual.
Alerts with similar wording
The manual words F2E5 exactly like this one. F2E3 adds the control unit to the list, and F3E1 is the alert to read if the washer complains about water level instead.

Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F2E4 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
