Note which part of the cycle it had reached when it stopped. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Does a humming Whirlpool with F7E2 need more detergent? No, F7E2 is the wash motor circuit, not detergent or cycle choice. Cut the power for half a minute, then see whether a short program runs normally. ### What should I tell the technician about F7E2 on my Whirlpool? Mention the stage of the cycle the machine was in when it stopped. That helps when the wash motor and harness are tested. --- **[Read on the site: Whirlpool dishwasher showing F7E2 | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-f7e2/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
