KitchenAid Dishwasher F2E2 code: Control communication error
The main control and the control panel stopped talking to each other properly. Buttons may not respond or the cycle will not start.
Most common causes
- Temporary control glitch after a power blip
- Loose wiring between the control panel and main control
- Failed control panel or main control
What you can safely check yourself
- Reset the control: unplug the dishwasher (or switch off its breaker if it is hard-wired) for 30 seconds, then restore power.
Unplug the appliance before moving or cleaning anything. Do not open panels, touch gas connections or bypass safety switches.
