Error code F1E2
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

F1E2 lists a main control communication error as the potential cause, with a power cycle first.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F1E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this code may mean.

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

Potential cause: main control communication error.

When a Whirlpool built-in dishwasher shows F1E2, the potential cause is a main control communication error. The manual’s troubleshooting step is a power cycle.

What the manual says to do

Disconnect the dishwasher from power for 30 seconds. Unplug it and plug it back in if it uses an outlet; if it is hard wired, use the breaker at the home electrical panel, off for 30 seconds and then on. Resetting the control can sometimes solve the problem you are seeing.

After the reset

Start the dishwasher and see whether F1E2 shows again. If the error code returns, schedule service.

Compare these codes

  • F2E2: the same communication cause on another code
  • F1E1: control module
  • F2E1: stuck key or console error
