What this code may mean.

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

F8E5 means the water supply may be reversed on a tower washer.

Meaning of F8E5

The washer half of a Whirlpool laundry tower shows F8E5 when the water supply is potentially reversed, meaning the hot and cold lines may not be on their matching inlets.

Steps from Whirlpool’s product help

  • Confirm the hot line sits on the hot inlet and the cold line on the cold inlet.
  • Reset the control: keep the washer disconnected from power for 5 minutes, as you would restart a computer, then reconnect.
  • If the code appears again, arrange service.
