Quick answer
Built-in Whirlpool dishwashers show F7E2 for a wash motor error. Power cycling comes first; a repeat means booking service.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F7E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

F7E2 is tied to a wash motor error.
What the F7E2 display tells you
Whirlpool’s product help ties F7E2 to a wash motor error on built-in dishwashers. The recommended troubleshooting has two parts.
Power cycle the dishwasher: no power for 30 seconds, by unplugging it or, for a hard-wired model, by switching its breaker off at the home panel. Then turn power back on.
Should the error code return, schedule service.
Why a reset is worth doing
Like a computer, the dishwasher control sometimes recovers from a fault once it is powered down and started again.
The service center covers the Miami, New York, Houston, Los Angeles and San Diego metro areas. Call (844) 968-2053 and have F7E2, the model number and your reset result at hand. More about dishwasher repair is on the site.
Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.
Safe
Important
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
