Whirlpool Dryer Error Codes: Troubleshooting Guide

Understanding Error Codes and Effective Solutions for Whirlpool Dryers

Whirlpool dryers are designed to provide reliability and convenience in your laundry routine. However, like any appliance, they can sometimes experience issues. Understanding the error codes your Whirlpool dryer displays is key to diagnosing and resolving these issues efficiently. At Local Solutions Appliance Repair, we are committed to helping you understand what each code means and how to address it effectively.

Common Whirlpool Dryer Error Codes

Here’s a breakdown of frequent Whirlpool dryer error codes and the recommended actions to resolve them:

• F1E1, F1E3, F1E5 - ACU Issues: These codes indicate problems with the Appliance Control Unit (ACU), from a stuck motor relay to incorrect controller installation and parameter memory issues. The solution typically involves replacing the ACU or ensuring that the ACU and User Interface are compatible with your model.

• F2E1, F2E4, F2E5 - User Interface Errors: When buttons stick or there are software parameter issues, replacing the User Interface is generally recommended. These faults usually only appear in service diagnostic mode.

• F3E1, F3E2, F3E3 - Thermistor and Sensor Errors: These codes signal issues with the exhaust and inlet thermistors or the moisture sensor, indicating they might be open or shorted. Verifying and replacing these sensors as needed can resolve the issue.

• F4E1, F4E2 - Heater Failures: If no voltage is detected at the heater relay, check the connections to the heater elements and relays. This is essential for ensuring your dryer heats properly.

• F4E3 - Restricted Airflow: Low airflow can significantly impact your dryer's efficiency. Ensure that the lint screen and exhaust ducts are clear of obstructions.

• F4E4 - Voltage Issues: These codes indicate problems with line voltage to the dryer. Check your household's electrical supply, including fuses, breakers, and the dryer’s power cord connections.

• F6E2, F6E3 - Communication Errors: These errors suggest communication issues between the ACU and the User Interface. Check the harness for continuity and proper connections, and consider replacing the necessary components if issues persist.
