What this code may mean.

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

F8E5 lists a fill valve stuck open as the potential cause.

F8E5 on a Whirlpool built-in dishwasher is listed with a fill valve stuck open as the potential cause. Since an open valve keeps letting water in, the manual’s steps are about stopping the water.

What the manual tells you to do

  1. Turn off water to the dishwasher, if possible.
  2. Press the Cancel key one time to silence the alarm tone, then shut the door.
  3. Do not turn off the power and keep the door closed.

When the water cannot be shut off

If you cannot turn the water supply off, turn off power to the dishwasher instead.
