Quick answer
Clothing left in an all-in-one Whirlpool washer dryer triggers F0E1 at the Clean Washer cycle.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F0E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
