Quick answer

F1E1 lists the control module as a potential cause. A 30-second power cycle is the manual step.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

Potential cause: control module.

F1E1 on a Whirlpool built-in dishwasher lists the control module as the potential cause. Whirlpool compares the fix to a computer restart: resetting the dishwasher control can sometimes solve the issue.

Cycle the power

  1. Plugged into an outlet? Unplug the dishwasher for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
  2. Hard wired? Turn off the breaker at the home electrical panel that feeds the dishwasher for 30 seconds, then turn it on.
  3. Run the dishwasher and watch whether F1E1 shows up again.

If F1E1 returns

The manual’s instruction is short: schedule service.

Codes in the same family

F1E2 names a main control communication error, and F6E1 lists the user interface and main control.
