Error Code: F2E1 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Indicates a shorted keypad or a problem with the user interface.
How to Fix F2E1 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Gently press every button on the dishwasher’s control panel to ensure none are physically stuck in a depressed position.
- Press the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Cancel/Drain’ button two times to attempt to clear the fault from the system’s memory.
- If the code remains, you must perform a hard reset. Go to your home’s circuit breaker panel and switch off the breaker that powers the dishwasher.
- Leave the power off for a full 5 minutes. This allows the internal electronics to discharge and reset completely.
- Turn the circuit breaker back on and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- The dishwasher should power on without the F2E1 error code. If the code returns immediately, it suggests a permanent fault in the user interface that may require professional service.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
