Quick answer

FAEB appears as a flashing F on bottom-freezer refrigerators. The manual lists a one-minute power reset and service if it returns.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so FAEB 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.

A flashing F on the display that Product Help answers with a power reset.

What the display is telling you

Your refrigerator is flashing an F, which Product Help lists as FAEB.

Resetting the power comes first. It is listed for fridges with the freezer at the bottom.

The sequence to follow

First, disconnect power at the breaker or unplug it, for a full one (1) minute. Next, return the breaker to on or plug the unit back in place. After that, be sure the cooling function shows as running. Finally, observe the refrigerator for one (1) minute so you know whether the display clears.

If the code is still there, time to schedule service.
