Mean
F7E2 lists a wash motor error as a potential cause.
F7E2 on a Whirlpool built-in dishwasher is listed with a wash motor error as the potential cause. The manual gives a short routine: power cycle, and if the code returns, schedule service.
Try the power cycle
A reset of the control panel needs the dishwasher cut off from power for 30 seconds. Unplug it if it uses an outlet. If it is hard wired, turn off the breaker at the home electrical panel for that dishwasher. After 30 seconds, restore power.
If F7E2 returns
A code that comes back after the reset is the point where the manual says to schedule service. The wash motor is not something to open up at home.
Related codes
F9E2 is a drain motor error, a different motor fault.
F8E2 is a fill valve electric error with a similar reset step.
