Quick answer

F6E3 on a tower: control communication is the listed cause, and a power reset comes first.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F6E3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

Potential cause: control communication.

F6E3 at a glance

  • Display: F6E3
  • Listed cause: Control Communication
  • Machines: laundry towers, dryer and washer sections
  • First step: cycle power

How to cycle power

Cut power to the dryer for a single minute. After that, bring it back and see whether the code reappears. A code that persists should go to a technician. Washer controls in these towers want a 5-minute wait.

Nearby codes worth checking

F6E1 is the communication error on regular dryers, F6E5 shares the same listed cause, and F5E1 concerns the door switch.
