Error codeF7E2
ApplianceDishwasher
A wash motor error is the potential cause behind F7E2 on a Whirlpool built-in dishwasher.
Recommended troubleshooting
Power cycle the dishwasher: no power for 30 seconds, by unplugging it or, if hard wired, by turning off its breaker at the home electrical panel. Then restore power.
If the error code returns, schedule service.
Why bother with a reset
As with a computer, a dishwasher control can recover from a fault after being switched off and started again.
If F7E2 comes back
The wash motor is not a part to open up at home; a technician visit is the next step.
For Whirlpool dishwasher repair in San Francisco and around the Bay, call (415) 687-4102 about F7E2. Have the model number and the reset result on hand. Further background sits on Whirlpool dishwasher repair.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F7E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
