The F5 E1 error code on your Whirlpool washer model WTW7500GC0 indicates a lid lock issue. This code appears when the washer detects that the lid is not locking or unlocking properly. To resolve this problem, first, ensure that there is nothing obstructing the lid's closing mechanism. Check for any debris or damage around the lid lock area. If the lid lock seems to be clear, the issue could be with the lid lock switch itself or its wiring.

Here are the steps to troubleshoot the F5 E1 error code:

1. Check the Lid Lock Mechanism: Make sure the lid is properly aligned and not obstructed. Sometimes, a simple realignment can fix the problem.

2. Inspect the Lid Lock Switch: If the lid lock is clear but the code persists, the lid lock switch may be faulty. This switch can wear out over time or become damaged, preventing the washer from detecting that the lid is securely closed.

3. Examine the Wiring: Inspect the wiring connecting the lid lock switch to the control board. Loose or damaged wires can cause communication issues between the lid lock and the control system, leading to the error code.

If you've tried these steps and the error persists, it may be necessary to replace the lid lock assembly. The lid lock latch assembly you need for Whirlpool washer model number WTW7500GC0 can be found below.
