Error codeFCE0

Some Whirlpool front loaders flash FC E0 on the display, a code that certain listings run together as FCE0. Whirlpool’s help entry for it consists of one reset procedure. It does not say what brings the code on.
How to run the reset
Cut the washer’s power. A washer on a wall outlet can simply be pulled out.
Leave it for a full 5 minutes. The idea is the same as rebooting a computer: the control starts afresh and some faults disappear.
If FC E0 returns after the 5-minute reset, a technician can visit in San Francisco and around the Bay Area through Whirlpool washer repair. Call (415) 687-4102 and give the code as it appears on the display, the model number and the fact that you unplugged the washer.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE0 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
FC E0 (FCE0) on a front load washer has only a power reset listed and no stated cause.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
