Quick answer

FAEC 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 FAEC 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.

Reading the flashing F

When the letter F flashes on the screen, FAEC is the entry that matches. This entry covers bottom-freezer refrigerator models.

The manual answer is a simple power reset.

Owner checklist

First, cut power at the breaker or take the plug out, then wait one (1) minute. Next, flip the breaker back on or plug the unit back into the outlet. After that, verify the cooling function is currently enabled. Finally, observe the refrigerator for one (1) minute to make sure that the display clears.

Should the display still flash, time to schedule service.
