F0E5 — Off Balance Load

Whirlpool · Cabrio Washing Machines

What does F0E5 mean?

This fault is displayed when the washer detects an off-balance condition during the spin cycle. An off-balance load can cause excessive vibration, noise, and movement of the appliance.

Common Causes

  • Laundry items are unevenly distributed in the basket.
  • Worn or weak suspension system components in the washer.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Open the lid and redistribute the laundry evenly around the wash plate or agitator.

  2. 2

    Remove any very large, bulky items and consider washing them separately or with other items to help balance the load.

  3. 3

    Close the lid and restart the cycle, allowing the washer to attempt to balance the load again.

  4. 4

    Check the washer's suspension system by pushing down on the basket; it should not bounce up and down more than once.
