Quick answer

F8E3 with a flashing F on bottom-freezer refrigerators: reset first, service if it stays.

What this code may mean.

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

F8E3 appears as a flashing F on the display and is answered with a one-minute power reset; Product Help names no cause.

Fault shown on the control display

The models named are bottom-freezer refrigerators. A flashing letter F on the display of your Whirlpool refrigerator, paired with F8E3, is the signal covered here.

A short checklist

  1. Turn off the circuit breaker, or unplug the refrigerator, and leave it without power for one minute.
  2. Reapply power through the breaker or the outlet.
  3. Make certain the refrigerator is set to cool.
  4. Observe the refrigerator for a minute to see whether the flashing F returns.

When the reset does not work

A fault that persists calls for service.

Other refrigerator codes

  • F8E8: another flashing F entry with the same reset steps
  • F8E2: reset steps only, like F8E3
  • F8EC: same family of refrigerator codes
