Whirlpool Washer F3E2 Error Troubleshooting and Repair

AF on your Cabrio means the Air Flow is being obstructed. Make sure the vent is secure and free of debris at the back of the appliance. Also ensure there is no obstruction where it is vented outside of your home. Lastly, make sure the lint trap is clean. Your dryer will still run normally, but it's best to go through your checklist so no further issues arise.

Depending on the dryer, it could simply be the wrinkle guard setting. This is the case with my Kenmore (Whirlpool) dryer.

The main electronic board has a fault and needs to be replaced.

The ring around the top is for ballance with fluid in it. That wouldn't be it. On some there's 3 parts the stick up on the inside of the tub that are held on with 2 or 3 screws . sometimes coins or something gets through a crack and will rattle . The screws go in from the other side of the drum you can turn the drum to get to them. Take them off and remove coin or whatever. Will have to take the top off to get to it.. Hope this helps good luck.

When I turn the dryer on say to 40min,it shows does not come on and it goes to a F1 on the daily

We are sorry to hear of the problem with your Whirlpool Dryer. We would recommend having a local certified technician in your area properly diagnose and repair the issue you are experiencing. Please email us at [email protected] with your name, phone number, address and the model and serial number for your Dryer.

there is nothing to calibrate if it has been repaired properly, adjust the water level setting , wash requirement , soak period , deep rinse settings etc as to what you want and switch it on

Then it could be the door switch, did you check that. And did you check all the limit switches? As well did you turn the drum by hand, does it feel like the belt is still connected?

check the power supply to the unit. if no voltage is found on the unit . check the wall outlet.no power at the wall socket ?? check the breaker box for tripped breakers if breaker to the wall outlet is off but good ,leave as is . check for grounds at the unit . if no grounds are present , turn on breaker . if it breaks with the dryer still not plugged in , search for any appliances connected on that line and unplug all. plug in the dryer then start it .if breaker opens , something is wrong with the dryer. call a qualified technician . thanks .

Replace the thermistor to restore normal operation. It opens when appliance gets to certain temperature and then closes again to restore heat. That sucker will never work until you get a good thermistor in there. You can always jump it and get heat but there is no safety valve in case unit overheats - could have a fire. Your call, your life.

Your thermal cut out relay may be bad, your heating coil may be bad, but be sure to check lint filter and the vent pipe before checking the thermal cut out and heating element

TURN OFF THE POWER NOW!! Hello. The part numbers are as follows: 42 THERMISTOR 8577274 47 & 48 THERMAL CUT-OFF W/ THERMISTOR-HC STAT 280148(one part number for both thermals in a kit) 51 THERMAL FUSE 3390719 TIP--use a magnetic screwdriver that will take nut-driver bits You will have to raise the top cover, then, on the right side corner, disconnect the door switch connector. Next, using a headlamp, look inside the unit, back towards the front near the upper left and right corners about 4 inches down on either side. Notice there is a screw on each side. Remove these 2 screws and that will release the front cover. Arc the top of it towards you and lift it off the metal positioning tabs at the bottom and set it aside. Remove the lint screen now. Remove the 3-4 screws that hold the lint duct assembly(metal blower cover) in place. CAREFULLY pull the cover away from the lint screen holder(be *darn* careful that you don't damage the wires connected to the moisture sensor bars on the upper right side of the lint screen holder). Now, carefully look for the thermal fuse attached to the blower housing. It will be the one towards the front, slightly to the left of the exhaust thermistor. It will have a pair of light blue wires attached to it. Note P9-1 BU(blue), thermal fuse, BU(blue). Replace the fuse and reassembly is the reverse--caution--don't forget to re-connect the door switch connector at the right corner--cause "It ain't gonna do a thing" (even if you pray for it to work! LOL) I hope this helps you!

On the dryer door there is a some kind of switch or button that shut off the dryer when opened if you can push it in and turn on the dryer and you should feel the heat or see the heater coil getting hot.

AF is an air flow error check lint screen and exit hose

Clean lint screen. Then exhaust hose maybe clogged or pinched. The drum is getting hot could be just took many items in dryer

This model has steam support, so it should have a cold water connection to it. Check for leaks where the hose connects to the rear of the dryer. If you do not use the steam feature, you can shut off the water and that will probably end your problem.
