Quick answer
E2 on a Whirlpool beverage center or wine cellar comes with no stated cause. The manual offers a one minute power cycle.

The manual gives only a power cycle for E2 and no stated cause.
If E2 appears on your Whirlpool beverage center or wine cellar, the manual shows the code with a reset and nothing about the reason.

Return power by flipping the breaker or reconnecting the plug.
Stay with the unit for one minute and make sure E2 does not come back.
