A San Francisco or Bay Area Whirlpool dishwasher that keeps showing F3E2 can be scheduled on (415) 687-4102. Tell us the code and the model number, and what you saw after the 30-second reset. The Whirlpool dishwasher repair page explains more.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F3E2 lists the thermistor or OWI sensor as the potential cause on a built-in dishwasher.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
