What F2 E3 (110 / Whirlpool-built) Means
F2 E3 on 110-prefix Whirlpool-built Kenmore top-loaders is a compatibility complaint: the machine control board and the user interface in the console have compared notes and found they are not a matched pair, which typically follows a replacement of one or the other.
Common Causes of F2 E3 (110 / Whirlpool-built)
- One console board replaced with a part intended for a neighbouring model
- Both boards replaced from different production generations
- A superseded part number supplied without the matching partner
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Check the part numbers printed on both console boards against the parts list for your model and serial number before anything else is ordered.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- Mismatched control parts cannot be reconciled by resetting or by running a diagnostic cycle.
- Guessing at a second part to make the first one work doubles the outlay with no better odds.
- The console has to be opened to read either part number, and it is live while the washer is plugged in.
