Technical manual summary
This technical reference covers service diagnostics, fault history, sensor feedback, component tests and disassembly for the Whirlpool and Maytag dryer family. Its service-mode section describes control-button entry and navigation; the applicable control design must be checked before using that procedure.
The fault table discusses F1E1 in relation to the main control (ACU) and heater-relay supply, and F3E1 in relation to an open or shorted exhaust thermistor. These entries guide further assessment; a displayed code alone does not establish that a particular part must be replaced.
The heating-system section includes the heater, thermal protection and temperature-sensing checks. Airflow and venting also appear in the troubleshooting information. Electrical measurements and component tests are technician procedures, not routine owner maintenance. The manual’s foreword identifies its wiring diagram as a training example and directs service personnel to the appliance’s own tech sheet.
Family technical reference. Exact WED5100HW2 revision coverage is not yet confirmed. Use the tech sheet supplied with the appliance for its wiring and model-specific procedures.
