How to Fix Kenmore Dishwasher Error F7E2
Problem: Heating element won’t shut off; relay stuck on control board

How to Fix F7E2 Error

2. The issue is a stuck relay on the electronic control board, which means the board is continuously sending power to the heater.
3. Access the main control board, typically behind the console or at the base of the dishwasher.
4. Carefully label and disconnect all wire harnesses from the old board.
5. Install the new control board, ensuring all connections are secure.
6. Reassemble the dishwasher and restore power.
