Code overview at a glance.

The facts for this Whirlpool error, a plain-language snapshot, and what to confirm against your model number.

Error code F3E2
Appliance Dishwasher
Content status Verified
Quick answer

F3E2 lists the thermistor or OWI sensor as a potential cause; the manual says cycle power.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

Potential cause: thermistor or OWI sensor.

Meaning

F3E2 appears with this potential cause: thermistor or OWI sensor. It is listed for built-in dishwashers.

Cycle power, as listed in the manual

  • Dishwasher on a plug: unplug it, wait 30 seconds, plug it in.
  • Dishwasher hard wired: breaker off at the home electrical panel for 30 seconds, then breaker on.

The idea is the same as restarting a computer; it can sometimes resolve the issue.

What if F3E2 returns?

Schedule service. For heating codes, compare F4E2 and F4E3.
