Kith Jordan the E3 error is usually accompanied by another indicator like F8 or F5 etc. We will need to know the exact model of your washer and the complete error code.

The Whirlpool E3 error code usually indicates an unbalanced load. This error usually occurs during the spin cycle. To fix this error, you can try these steps:

  1. Stop the spin cycle.
  2. Remove several items.
  3. Rearrange the load evenly around the washplate.
  4. Restart the spin cycle.

You can also try resetting the washer by unplugging it from the outlet for at least 1 minute and then plugging it back in.

Other Whirlpool error codes often accompanying the "E3" error can include:

  • F5 E3: Indicates an issue with the machine's lid lock
  • F6 E3: Indicates an issue with the appliance control unit, user interface, or associated wiring
  • F3 E3: Indicates that there may be an issue with the Air Inlet function
