Quick answer

DEN on a Whirlpool compact front load washer is Store Demo Mode, not a fault. How to turn it off with the control panel buttons.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so DEN may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

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

DEN means the unit has been placed into Store Demo Mode.

DEN means demo mode

Whirlpool’s compact front load washers show DEN when they are in Store Demo Mode. Nothing is broken: the machine runs and demonstrates its operation, which suits a showroom but not a home.

A washer that came from a dealer store may still be set this way, and the mode must be off for normal operation.

How to switch it off

  1. Press and hold “Program” (far left of the control panel) and “Options” (far right) together.
  2. Keep holding for 3 seconds while the countdown runs.

The very same hold turns the mode on again.
