KitchenAid dishwasher code F2E3: User interface — verify on your tech sheet.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F2E3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
User-interface fault. Check panel responsiveness, then reset. Artisan Repair uses the code as a starting clue; final diagnosis still follows your appliance’s documentation.
Symptoms you may notice
- The dishwasher displays F2E3 and controls respond oddly
- F2E3 appears at start-up or mid-cycle
- Buttons or programs behave inconsistently with F2E3
Possible causes

Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
- Confirm stable power at the outlet
- Perform a manufacturer-approved restart once
