The E1 F1 error code on a Whirlpool washer indicates that the washer is not draining properly. This can be caused by a clogged drain, a faulty drain pump, or a problem with the washer's drainage hose. If the washer is not draining properly, the clothes will not get clean and the washer will eventually overflow. To fix this problem, you will need to clean the drain, check the drain pump, and make sure the drainage hose is not blocked.
