Whirlpool Washer Error Code F0E1

How to fix Whirlpool washer error code F0E1

The error code F0E1 on your Whirlpool washer indicates a situation where the “Clean Washer” cycle has been initiated, but the washer detects the presence of a load inside. This error commonly occurs when the user attempts to start the “Clean Washer” cycle with clothes or items still inside the machine. As a safety measure, the washer will not proceed with the cleaning cycle to prevent potential damage to both the washer and the items inside.

How to resolve the error code F0E1

• Remove laundry. If the error occurs while there’s laundry in the drum, the first step is to remove the laundry and restart the cycle. Sometimes, laundry can cause resistance during the cleaning cycle, triggering the error code.
• Check drum spinning. If the error persists after removing the laundry, check if the drum is spinning freely. A stuck or not spinning drum could be the culprit behind the error. Open the washing machine door and manually try to spin the drum. It should rotate smoothly without any hindrance. Then inspect the drum thoroughly for any foreign objects or small pieces of clothing that may have become lodged between the drum and the outer tub. Even a tiny obstruction can cause significant resistance during the cycle. Remove any debris or obstructions carefully to ensure proper drum movement.
• Check bearings. If the drum spins freely and there are no visible obstructions, the issue might lie with the bearings. Bearings that fail can cause excessive resistance in the drum, triggering the error code F0E1. In this case, seek professional assistance to inspect and replace the bearings if necessary.
