Cycling the power
Cutting power to the dishwasher control for 30 seconds can clear some faults, and it is easy to do:
- If the dishwasher plugs into an outlet, pull the plug, wait 30 seconds and push it in again.
- If it is hard wired, turn off its breaker at the home electrical panel, wait 30 seconds and turn the breaker on.
- Start the dishwasher and watch whether F4 E2 returns. If it does, schedule service.
