If you have a top-load Whirlpool washer showing an F3E1 error or a drain pump running non-stop, it's a known issue. Whirlpool has covered certain models and serial ranges under a service campaign. Check if your model and serial fall within those listed.

Top Load Washer models start with: ATW45, ITW48, MVWC46, MVW45, NTW45, NTW46, RTW45, WTW46, WTW47, WTW48, WTW49, WTW485, WTW495, WTW465, MVW4005.

Stacked Laundry models start with: WET4027, WETLV27, WGT4027, WGTLV27.

Top Load Washer serial range: CC01xxxxx to CD35xxxxx.
Stacked Laundry serial range: MC01xxxxx to MD35xxxxx.

If so, contact Whirlpool to confirm coverage: 1-800-253-1301 . Repairs can easily exceed $350—especially if the control board is involved—so confirming potential coverage first can save you unnecessary costs.

If not covered, consult a trusted technician to evaluate repair viability.

If you’re unsure about the process, feel free to reach out, and I can help guide you on your next steps.
