Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Maytag's own guidance for F8E2 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Pull the drip tray and look at the inlet valve connection for any sign of leaking.
Reset the control with a 30-second power interruption.
Book a visit if the code comes back; the valve coil and wiring are tested with a meter.
Still there?
It usually turns into fill and water valve repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
F8E2 is not the same as H2O. H2O is a missing supply; F8E2 is the valve's electrical side.
