Quick answer

FAE4 or F10E4 on built-in Whirlpool dishwashers points to the diverter valve. Cycling power is the listed troubleshooting.

What this code may mean.

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

FAE4 (F10E4) lists a diverter valve error as a potential cause.

FAE4, which can also appear as F10E4, is the diverter valve error code on Whirlpool built-in dishwashers. The manual lists one troubleshooting step: cycle power.

How to cycle power

Resetting the control can clear problems, similar to restarting a computer. Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source for 30 seconds.

  • Plug-in model: pull the plug, wait, then plug it back in.
  • Hard-wired model: turn off the breaker at the home electrical panel, wait, then turn it on.

If the code is still there after that, the diverter valve is a job for service rather than for home repair.
