Mean
FC E0 comes with a power reset and no stated cause.
FC E0 and what to try
The display may read FC E0, also written FCE0. Whirlpool’s help entry for front load washers lists only a reset for it.
Unplug the washer, or otherwise disconnect it from power.
Wait 5 minutes. A control reset can clear problems, in the way a computer restart does.
