Error codeF2 E2
ApplianceDishwasher
On Maytag’s help page for F2E2, the potential cause is a main control communication error and the troubleshooting step is to cycle the power.
Why and how to cycle power
Much like a computer, a dishwasher control can sometimes recover after a restart. Make sure the control panel stays disconnected from power for 30 seconds.
Outlet connection: unplug the dishwasher, wait 30 seconds, plug it in again.
Hard wired: switch the breaker off at the home electrical panel, wait 30 seconds, switch it on.
If it shows again
A repeat of the error code after the cycle means a technician visit should be booked.
Where to look next
F1 E2 has the same main control communication wording.
F6 E1 is a user interface error involving the main control.
