Quick answer

F6E1 lists a user interface or main control error; cycle power, and if it remains, call for service.

What this code may mean.

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

Potential cause: user interface error, main control.

On a Whirlpool built-in dishwasher, F6E1 lists a user interface error or the main control as the potential cause.

Troubleshooting from the manual

Cycle power, and if the error code remains, call for service. To cycle power, the dishwasher control needs to be disconnected from power for 30 seconds: unplug it and plug it back in, or, if hard wired, turn the breaker off at the home electrical panel and back on. Whirlpool says that, like a computer, a reset may sometimes solve the issues.
