Error code F2E2 (2-2)
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

Kenmore F2E2 in plain terms: the panel and control board are not talking, and what the manual checks.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F2E2 (2-2) 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

The user interface control cannot communicate with the electronic control board.

What F2E2 tells you

The panel on the door has stopped communicating with the electronic control board. The code is documented for Kenmore HE, Kenmore Elite HE and Kenmore Global HE dishwashers; on non-display models it is the 2-2 Clean light pattern.

The sequence from the manual

  1. Shut off power to the dishwasher.
  2. Inspect the wiring and connections between the user interface control and the electronic control board.
  3. Wires and connections fine: replace the user interface control board.
  4. Fault still there: replace the electronic control board.

Steps 2 to 4 are technician tasks.

Similar-looking codes

  • F2E1: a stuck button on the same panel.
  • F3E1: thermistor or OWI sensor failure.
  • F1E2: control board memory fault.
