Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from KitchenAid's own guidance for F2E2 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Remove power for 30 seconds at the plug or the breaker.
If the panel responds and runs a cycle, keep an eye on it for a few days.
Book a visit once the code comes back after a reset.
What not to do
F2E2 does not mean the buttons are worn out. It concerns the signals passing between boards.
