What this code means
F8 E2
F8E2 means a fill valve electric error.
Reset first, then watch the code
Maytag gives the cause as a fill valve electric error. Its advice starts with a reset: cut power to the dishwasher for 30 seconds, restore it and see whether F8E2 shows again. Unplug a plug-in unit; for a hard-wired one, use the breaker.
Look at the inlet valve
Pull out the drip tray and check the inlet valve connection for leaks. If the error returns after the power cycle, the manufacturer says to schedule service.
Compare with these codes
- F8E2: inlet water, fill valve electrical problem
- F8 E1: not detecting water
