What this code means
F8 E2
F8E2 means a fill valve electric error.
F8E2 on a Maytag dishwasher stands for a fill valve electric error. Maytag’s product help gives two things to do, in this order.
Owner steps from Maytag
- Remove the drip tray and inspect the inlet valve connection, making sure nothing leaks.
- Power cycle the dishwasher. If the code returns, schedule service.
How to power cycle
Disconnect the dishwasher from power for 30 seconds. A plugged-in unit is simply unplugged and plugged back in; a hard-wired unit has its breaker turned off at the home electrical panel for 30 seconds and then back on.
Other fill-related displays
Compare with F8E2, the inlet water entry for a fill valve electrical problem, F8 E1 for water not detected, and F8 E5 for a fill valve stuck open.
