How to Fix Whirlpool Washer Error F0E5

Error Code: Washer Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Unbalanced load detected during spin (Cabrio platform equivalent of uL)

How to Fix Washer Error

1. Washer will automatically pause and attempt to redistribute load – allow 5-10 minutes for this process.
2. If automatic rebalance fails, open lid and manually redistribute laundry evenly around tub perimeter.
3. Remove bulky items (comforters, rugs) and wash separately with towels for balance.
4. Avoid washing single heavy items alone – always add smaller items to distribute weight.
5. Ensure washer is level front-to-back and side-to-side (use carpenter’s level on top panel).
6. Adjust leveling legs until all four feet contact floor firmly without rocking.
7. Verify suspension rods aren’t broken or disconnected (requires removing cabinet panels to inspect).
8. Check tub bearings for excessive play allowing tub to shift during spin.
9. If uL occurs repeatedly with balanced loads, suspect failing tub bearing or broken counterweight.
10. After redistribution, close lid and press START to resume cycle – allow washer to complete automatic rebalance attempts.
