That sentence is KitchenAid’s own, read off its published support page for this condition on a dishwasher rather than worked out from the outside. Everything under it is ours, written from what this equipment does in Miami kitchens. ### F3E2 is two numbers, not one Read it as **F3** and **E2**. The F names the function that reported the problem; the E names what it reported. So F3E2 and F3E0 are neighbors, and F1E1 is not related to either of them despite looking almost the same on a display. Across this whole archive, F3 conditions whose meaning the maker states name the **temperature sensor and its wiring** more often than anything else — 13 of the 13 that carry one. That is not a rule KitchenAid publishes; it is what its own pages add up to, and it is worth knowing before you read the E digit as the whole answer. ### What the maker publishes, and where it stops KitchenAid asks for a technician on this one, so what follows is its list and not a checklist of ours. We have not added to it. Where the maker itself says the condition needs somebody qualified, a ten-step routine invented to fill the page would be padding that ends in booking a visit anyway. - If the error code returns, schedule service. ### Then what F3E2 is also published for the [wall oven](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f3e2-oven/), [range](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f3e2-range/), [refrigerator](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f3e2-refrigerator/) on this make, and it does not mean the same thing there. Read the page for the machine that is actually showing it — that is why every title in this archive names an appliance. One more thing worth saying plainly: **this code is not this badge’s alone.** KitchenAid shares its control platform with the other names in the same group, and the same page for F3E2 sits at the same address under more than one of them. That is useful rather than awkward — it means the code names the subsystem and the model number names the machine, so the plate on the door frame is half of every answer here. The [full KitchenAid code archive](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/) holds the rest, searchable. Tell us the model number and exactly what the display is showing and we will tell you what it points at before anybody is booked. We repair this equipment across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.
