Crosley washer F2E3 error code
F2E3 does not mean the same thing on every Crosley washer. Our data shows 2 documented meanings, depending on which engineering platform the model is built on. Look up your model number to see the one that applies.
| Meaning | Appliance | Crosley models |
|---|---|---|
| Control and console mismatch | Top-load washer | 9 |
| Console switch mismatch | Top-load washer | 6 |
F2E3: Control and console mismatch
- Brand
- Crosley
- Appliance
- Top-load washer
- Code
- F2E3
- Documented meaning
- Control and console mismatch
- Applies to
- 9 Crosley models on 2 platforms
- Can you keep using it?
- With caution
F2E3 means the main control and the console (user interface) board do not identify as a matching pair for this model.
What the washer is detecting
The main control checks the identification the console reports. If it does not match the expected value, F2E3 is stored.
Causes listed for this condition
In the order the service documentation checks them. Documented causes come from the manufacturer's service documentation for these platforms; possible causes are based on how the system works; unconfirmed marks common assumptions that the documentation does not support.
- Documented A main control or console that is the wrong part number for this model.
- Possible A recent board replacement with an incorrect part.
Safe checks you can make
- If a board was replaced recently, mention it to the technician.
Further diagnosis requires opening the appliance. Beyond the owner checks, diagnosis involves removing panels, testing components and checking wiring. We describe what a technician investigates, not how to do it yourself.
What a technician checks
- Verifies both board part numbers against the model's parts list.
- Runs the main control and console tests.
Typical repairs and cost
Depending on what diagnosis finds, this code can lead to one of these repairs:
| Repair | Typical range | Labor |
|---|---|---|
| Washer main control board replacement | $300–$720 | Moderate |
| Washer user interface / keypad replacement | $250–$550 | Light |
Typical total ranges for the Las Vegas area, parts and labor included. The final cost depends on diagnosis, the exact model, parts availability and whether other damage is found.
Can you keep using it?
Use with caution. Cycles and options may not work correctly until the correct boards are installed.

F2E3: Console switch mismatch
- Brand
- Crosley
- Appliance
- Top-load washer
- Code
- F2E3
- Documented meaning
- Console switch mismatch
- Applies to
- 6 Crosley models on 2 platforms
- Can you keep using it?
- With caution
F2E3 means the switches the control reads on the console do not match the console it expects, or are not working correctly.
What the washer is detecting
During diagnostic checks the control compares the console switches it detects with the configuration for this model. A mismatch or a misbehaving switch sets F2E3.
Causes listed for this condition
In the order the service documentation checks them. Documented causes come from the manufacturer's service documentation for these platforms; possible causes are based on how the system works; unconfirmed marks common assumptions that the documentation does not support.
- Documented A console with switches that do not match this model, or switches that are not operating correctly.
Safe checks you can make
- Turn each knob and press each button through its positions to see whether any feels loose or does not click.
Further diagnosis requires opening the appliance. Beyond the owner checks, diagnosis involves removing panels, testing components and checking wiring. We describe what a technician investigates, not how to do it yourself.
What a technician checks
- Runs the console and indicator test in service diagnostics.
- Confirms the console part number for the model.
Typical repairs and cost
Depending on what diagnosis finds, this code can lead to one of these repairs:
| Repair | Typical range | Labor |
|---|---|---|
| Washer user interface / keypad replacement | $250–$550 | Light |
Typical total ranges for the Las Vegas area, parts and labor included. The final cost depends on diagnosis, the exact model, parts availability and whether other damage is found.
Can you keep using it?
Use with caution. Some selections may not register correctly. Have the console checked if settings do not take.

Repair or replace?
A fault code alone rarely justifies replacing a washer. Most F2E3 repairs involve a single component once diagnosed. Replacement becomes worth considering when the unit is near the end of its typical 10–13-year life and the diagnosed repair is a major one. See the repair-or-replace guide.
