One appliance with a microwave cavity and a conventional oven cavity. The shared code space is written for these, which is why oven rows appear alongside microwave ones.
Codes on the Whirlpool combination microwave-ovens follow the same Whirlpool scheme as the rest of the range. Where a code behaves differently on this generation, the code page says so.

- F4E1The cavity temperature sensor is reading outside what the control will accept. Whirlpool’s two sources describe it slightly differently but not incompatibly.Get it checked
- F1E5The inverter or the magnetron tube. This is the code behind the classic symptom of a microwave that runs perfectly and heats nothing.Get it checked
- F4E9The code where Whirlpool contradict themselves. Their service sheet calls it a popcorn microphone fault; their public page calls it the inverter.Get it checked
- F4E4The humidity sensor that drives automatic cooking has faulted. Whirlpool publish the same component twice, under F4E4 and under F3H.Usually simple to fix
- F8E5The exhaust air temperature sensing has faulted. Whirlpool’s two sources describe it differently, and one of them contains a typo.Get it checked
- F4E7The temperature probe is not reading. Whirlpool warn that the microwave probe and the oven probe look alike and are not interchangeable.Usually simple to fix
- FCE3A connectivity code, not a fault. Whirlpool list three of them in their service sheet and publish no page for any of the three.Usually simple to fix
