Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir and Amana ranges share F-codes. F1E0 is a control memory error (often clears after 30 seconds without power), F2E0 a shorted keypad, F3E0 and F3E1 an open or shorted oven temperature sensor, F5E0 door switches that disagree and F9E1 a door latch that can't lock or unlock. Reset the breaker once; repeated codes need a technician.

| Code | What it means | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| F1E0 | Control memory (EEPROM) communication error | Power off 30 seconds; repeats need the control. |
| F2E0 | Shorted keypad (touch panel) | Breaker reset; repeats need the keypad. |
| F3E0 | Oven temperature sensor open | Technician repair (sensor or wiring). |
| F3E1 | Oven temperature sensor shorted | Technician repair. |
| F5E0 | Door and latch switches disagree | Close the door firmly; repeats need the latch. |
| F9E1 | Door latch can't lock or unlock | Let it cool; don't force it; call. |
| F6E0 / other | Meaning varies by model or production year — sources disagree | Model-specific: a technician visit is needed to find the exact cause. |
Codes and their meaning can vary by model and production year, and the same code can have different causes. Where sources disagree we say so; in every case the exact cause is confirmed only by a technician's on-site diagnosis. Your owner's manual has the definitive list for your model.
Code came back after these checks? That means a part has failed — let a technician confirm it before parts are guessed.
Unplug the appliance (or switch off its breaker) before touching anything inside it, and never open a sealed refrigeration system, a gas valve or a microwave. If a code points to a part, the part has to be tested before it is replaced; we do that on the $75 diagnostic visit, credited toward the repair.
Most do — they're Whirlpool brands with the same control family.
Let it cool and reset the breaker; if it stays locked, the latch needs service.

A 38-year-old Sub-Zero 500 Series freezer most companies would have written off: we replaced the compressor, evaporator, heat exchanger and drier with OEM parts and retrofitted it from R12 to a modern refrigerant.
