About F2 E2
Maytag dishwashers can display F2 E2 when the main control has a communication problem. The help page’s answer is a power cycle.
Power cycle, Maytag style
Leave the control panel unpowered for half a minute (30 seconds). For a dishwasher with a plug, pull it from the outlet and push it back in afterwards. For a hard wired one, switch the breaker at the home electrical panel off, then on. A code that shows up again calls for scheduled service.
