How to Fix F3E1 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Cancel any active cycle and power off the dishwasher and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Open the door and pull the bottom dish rack completely out.
- Find the dishwasher filter, usually located in the back corner of the tub floor. Twist it counter-clockwise to unlock and lift it out.
- Wash the filter screen and the coarse filter plate under warm running water. Use a soft brush to gently scrub away any stuck-on food particles.
- Look into the filter housing in the dishwasher tub and carefully remove any debris you see.
- Place the clean filter back into its housing and twist it clockwise until it locks firmly in place.
- Run a quick rinse cycle to confirm the error is cleared.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
