What F1 E2 means
For a Maytag dishwasher, F1 E2 is tied to a main control communication error. The troubleshooting step Maytag gives is cycling power.
How Maytag describes the reset
Keep the control panel without power for 30 seconds. If the unit is plugged in, take the plug out of the outlet and put it back after the 30 seconds. If it is hard wired, turn the breaker at the home electrical panel off for that time and on again. Should the error code return, schedule service.
