Quick answer
F0E5 points to an unbalanced or oversized load in an all-in-one washer dryer.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F0E5 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 codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F0E5 tells you the washer dryer sensed an unbalanced load.
Reading the F0E5 display
An unbalanced load is behind F0E5 on all-in-one Whirlpool washer dryers. Either the amount of laundry is more than the drum should hold, or it has shifted to one side.
Loading habits that help
Leave some room in the drum rather than stuffing it. Single pieces are better not washed alone; when a rug or a pair of jeans is the only thing to wash, put a few other items in with it to even things out.
Keep in mind that a lopsided load can keep the washer from reaching the spin speed of the selected cycle, which may stretch the drying time.
