Whirlpool Error Code Reference — All 39 Codes

Complete Whirlpool error code cheat sheet. All 39 fault codes with plain-English explanations and direct links to fix guides.

Use this page when your Whirlpool appliance is showing an error or fault code. Start with the exact code, then open the fix guide to find the real cause and the exact OEM part before you order parts or book a repair. Coverage spans washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, ovens and more.

We don't sell parts, so we'll tell you when not to buy one: 1 of these Whirlpool codes are usually a cheap or free fix, not a failed part. The "Often a cheap fix?" column shows the odds.

Tip: search the exact appliance and code together, for example "Whirlpool washer LE" or "Whirlpool refrigerator 22E".
