Whirlpool Error Code E5

Error Code E5 – Overcurrent / Electrical Load Protection
If your Whirlpool system displays Error Code E5, it usually indicates overcurrent protection or abnormal electrical load, often tied to compressor operation. The unit detects unsafe current draw and shuts down to protect electrical components.
Homeowners may notice the unit shuts off suddenly, struggles to start, or trips safety devices. Common causes include compressor strain, capacitor issues, dirty coils increasing system load, fan faults, wiring problems, or unstable voltage supply.
Because overcurrent faults can worsen and cause expensive compressor damage, it’s best to book service quickly instead of repeatedly restarting the system.
