Why does my Whirlpool washer show error code F5 E1 and won't start?

Error code F5 E1 indicates a door lock error — the washer isn't detecting that the door is properly closed and locked. The most common causes are a worn or broken door strike, a faulty door lock assembly, or misalignment between the door and frame. The door strike is the small component on the washer frame that the door lock mechanism grabs onto. Over time, it can wear down, crack, or break — preventing the lock from engaging securely. If the strike looks damaged or worn, replacing it often solves the F5 E1 error. If the strike is fine, the door lock assembly may need replacement.
