Whirlpool Washer F3E2 Error
Troubleshooting and Repair - F3E2 Error Code - WFW75HEFW
The Whirlpool washer F3E2 error code is a temperature sensor error.
If the water temperature sensor reading is out of the following range:
14°F to 230°F or 10°C to 110°C
the control will shut down the machine and give you the F3E2 error.
You can check the temperature sensor with an ohm meter to verify the sensor is bad. The correct ohm reading should be between 500-100K ohms, if not the sensor is bad and needs to be replaced.
This Whirlpool Washer F3E2 error troubleshooting and repair information applies to model WFW75HEFW and all the models listed under the related models section below.

Whirlpool Wtw5105hw0
- Asked By Mayra
- Answered By MasterTech
The first code F3E2 is a temperature sensor error and the sensor needs to be replaced. The other error is just suds error so either you are using too much liquid detergent or the water pump is going bad. The temp sensor on that model is built into the water inlet valve so the valve will just have to be replaced to fix it. The valve you need for the model you gave is linked below.

F3e2 Kenmore Model 110.25102310
- Asked By Reina Tucker
Cycles wont run and only act like they are. I replaced the main control board before I realized I had a F3E3 error. There was no change after replacing the board, the machine still sits sensing for an hour and then acts like its running through the cycles but never really does anything. I keep getting the same error F3E3 and would love to know how to fix it. Reading the other posted questions has me confused on what part I actually need to fix this error. Appreciate your help!
- Answered By MasterTech
The F3E3 error is a failure of the temperature sensor / thermistor that is built into the water inlet valve. The entire valve has to be replaced to fix that error. The valve assembly you need for the model you listed is linked below.

Error Code Won't Clear
- Asked By Ashley
MHWE200 -Maytag 2000 series in dark gray. F3E2 code, I have unplugged. Emptied drain. Checked that all wires are secure. See no wire harness damage. Changed temp sensor. Nothing will clear this code. It goes to the error code before the water even begins to run. Why???
- Answered By MasterTech
If you are certain the wiring is good and you installed a brand new temp sensor and still get the error then the board is reporting a false error and the board is bad.

F3e2 Whirlpool Duet Washer
- Asked By Joy Gay
I looked for my whirlpool duet model on this website and the search returns page not found. Model WFW9151YW00 has an F3E2 error code. I believe I need a new water inlet valve assembly. If you think this may be the correct solution, I would like a link to that part and a download link for the service manual for my model please. Thank you for you time and expertise.
- Answered By MasterTech
The F3E2 error on that model is the same as the other models listed. It's an error that means the temperature sensor is bad or there is a wiring issue between the sensor and the board. Usually, in most cases, you just replace the sensor and that will fix the problem. The sensor you need can be ordered from the link below:

F3e2 Error Code On My Maytag Washer.
- Asked By Jose
Model #: MVW6230HW What is the F3E2 error?
- Answered By MasterTech
The F3E2 error code on the model you listed means there is an inlet water temperature fault and is usually caused by a shorted or open inlet thermistor, which on that model is located inside the water inlet valve. The only thing you can really do for that error is just to replace the water inlet valve on the washer. The upgraded valve you need to order and replace can be ordered from the link below:

Washer Won't Run Cycle
- Asked By Nate
I unplugged my washer (model# wfw9050xw00) mid-cycle because it was shaking hard. The door was locked(which we got to open) but now whenever I try to run any cycle it won't start and gives me the F3E2 error code. Is there something I can do to get it to start or drain?
- Answered By MasterTech
The only thing you do for that error if it won't reset is to change the temperature sensor. The error code you are getting means the sensor has failed.The sensor you need to order for that model is linked below:
