F8E5: the oven could not execute the function; possible Exhaust Air Temperature Sensor or wiring problem.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

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

The oven could not execute the function. There may be a problem with the Exhaust Air Temperature Sensor, or the associated wiring.

About F8E5

This code appears on over-the-range Whirlpool microwaves when the oven could not execute the function. The sensor named in the manual is the Exhaust Air Temperature Sensor; its wiring may be involved as well. A technician examines both.

Owner reset

  • Breaker off for 1 minute.
  • Breaker on.
  • One minute of watching the display.
  • Test the microwave to verify operation.
