Error code F6E1
Appliance Dishwasher

F6E1 on a Whirlpool built-in dishwasher: the potential cause listed is a user interface error, or the main control.

What the help page asks for

Two things, in order: cycle power, then, should the code stay on the display, arrange a technician visit.

Cycling power

  1. Keep the dishwasher control without electricity for 30 seconds.
  2. Outlet model: pull the plug and put it back. Hard wired model: breaker off at the house panel, then on again.
  3. Look at the display for F6E1.

Whirlpool notes that a computer-style reset may now and then fix such faults.
