Quick answer
E2 on a Whirlpool beverage center or wine cellar comes with no stated cause. The manual offers a one minute power cycle.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

About E2
E2 is a code Whirlpool shows on its beverage centers and wine cellars. The manual says nothing on what triggers it, so the owner action is a reset.
Reset sequence
Take the unit off power for one minute, either at the breaker or at the wall plug.
Put it back on power.
Check on it for one minute to confirm the code stays away.
Verify the refrigerator is operating.
Other codes to compare
Look at CL or LO for a low temperature reading, or E1, which is also reset-only.
