Error Code: F3E2 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Inlet water temperature is too low.
How to Fix F3E2 Error (Step-by-Step)
- This error indicates the water entering the dishwasher is not hot enough, which is an issue with your home’s water supply, not the appliance itself.
- Before starting a cycle, run the hot water tap at your kitchen sink for 60-90 seconds until the water is steaming hot.
- This ensures that hot water has reached that plumbing line and will enter the dishwasher at the correct temperature.
- Check that your home’s water heater is set to deliver water at a minimum of 120°F (49°C).
- Make sure the hot water supply hose connected to the dishwasher is not bent or kinked, which could restrict flow.
- After confirming hot water is available, start a new dishwasher cycle.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
