Whirlpool dishwasher error code F2E2 is displayed when the dishwasher detects a leak in the tub. This error code can be caused by a few different things, such as a cracked dishwasher tub, a loose door seal, or a faulty water inlet valve. If your dishwasher is displaying this error code, it is important to have a certified technician come out and diagnose the problem so that it can be fixed properly.

1. Check the drain line for clogs

  1. Check the drain line for clogs. If the drain line is clogged, the dishwasher will not be able to draining properly and will cause an error code.
  2. Use a plunger or a drain snake to clear any clogs in the drain line.

4. Clean the dishwasher spray arm
