How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing the control panel.

  • Access UI: Remove the screws securing the control panel and gently tilt it forward to access the keypad ribbon and UI board.
  • Reseat ribbon: Unplug the keypad ribbon cable from the UI or control board and reinsert it fully, ensuring it is straight and fully seated.
  • Inspect for damage: Look for cracks in the touch panel, torn ribbon, or burn marks. Replace the control panel/touchpad assembly if damaged.
  • UI board replacement: If the keypad and ribbon appear good but F5E0 persists, replace the user interface board or combined control module as specified for your Whirlpool model.
