Code overview at a glance.

The facts for this Whirlpool error, a plain-language snapshot, and what to confirm against your model number.

Error code F3E2
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

F3E2 lists the thermistor or OWI sensor as a potential cause. A 30-second power cycle comes first.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E2 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: thermistor or OWI sensor.

If your Whirlpool built-in dishwasher displays F3E2, the potential cause is the thermistor or OWI sensor.

Cycle the power first

Turn the power to the dishwasher off for 30 seconds. That means unplugging it and plugging it back in, or, for a hard wired unit, turning its breaker off at the home panel and back on after 30 seconds. Whirlpool notes that resetting the control can sometimes solve issues, just as with a computer.

Next step

Schedule service if the error code returns. A technician is the one to check the thermistor or OWI sensor.

Similar codes

F4E2 and F4E3 are the heating codes.
