What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F3E4 means Temperature Range on compact ventless towers and a motor sensor cause on laundry towers.
Whirlpool stacked laundry centers display F3E4 for two different reasons, depending on the model family.
Compact ventless laundry towers (dryer section): the entry reads Temperature Range.
Laundry towers (dryer and washer sections): the potential cause is the motor sensor.
The reset Whirlpool describes
Disconnect the dryer from household power for one minute. The washer needs 5 minutes.
Reconnect it and observe the display.
