Quick answer
FBEE 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 FBEE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Display note
Seeing a flashing F on the control display? Whirlpool lists it as FBEE.
Its advice is to reset the refrigerator first. This entry covers bottom-freezer models.
The sequence to follow
First, cut power at the breaker (or unplug it), for one (1) minute. Next, restore power at the breaker or push the plug in again. After that, confirm the cooling function stays on. Finally, monitor the display for one (1) minute and note whether the code reappears.
When the code returns after the reset, book service per the manual.
