Whirlpool Washer, Dryer Error Code Out

The Out status indicates that the machine has been manually placed out of service by a technician using the built-in Manual Out of Service procedure. This is an administrative state, not a fault or error caused by a component failure. The machine will not run normal cycles while in Out status. Repeating the Manual Out of Service procedure steps 1 through 3 will toggle the unit back to In status and restore normal operation.

The Out status prevents the machine from accepting normal cycle commands, so it will not operate while in this state. The condition itself presents no safety hazard. The unit simply needs to be toggled back to In status using the Manual Out of Service procedure before it can be used again.

There is no parts cost associated with the Out status because it is a software state, not a hardware fault. If a technician is needed to perform the Manual Out of Service toggle procedure, you may incur a service call fee, which typically ranges from $50 to $150 depending on your location and the service provider.

To clear the Out status, repeat the Manual Out of Service procedure steps 1 through 3 on the control panel. This toggles the machine from Out back to In status. No tools, parts, or repairs are needed. If you do not have access to the specific button sequence for your model, a service technician can perform this step.

No, cycling the power will not clear the Out status. The machine stores this administrative state in the control board and retains it through power cycles. The only way to restore normal operation is to repeat the Manual Out of Service procedure steps 1 through 3 to toggle the unit back to In status.
