The water pressure sensor may be at fault whenever an all-in-one Whirlpool washer dryer displays F3E1.

Make sure the water going to the unit has enough pressure.
Pull the plug, wait 5 minutes or longer, and plug it back in.
Run a drain-only cycle if water remains inside.
Call for service if the code is not cleared by these steps.
