Reading the dishwasher display

A dishwasher reports its fault in the display window, or by blinking a cycle light a set number of times with a pause between groups. Count the blinks and pauses before opening the door. Amana models often flash lights instead of printing text, so count the flashes.

Amana is a Whirlpool Corporation brand sold mostly through builder and value channels. Its entry-level washers, dryers and ranges use the simpler Whirlpool-family control boards, so the codes are short and often shown as flashing lights. The codes apply to model numbers such as ADB1200AWS, ADB2200AWS and NDE2330AYW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

What causes F7E2

How to fix it

  1. Cycle the power: switch off the dishwasher breaker for about a minute (or unplug it if you can reach the cord), restore power and run a short cycle.
  2. Check the load size and redistribute it so the drum can turn freely; stop and start the cycle again.
  3. With power off, spin the drum or agitator by hand to feel for binding, a loose belt or a coupling that slips.
  4. Inspect the motor harness and plugs at both the motor and control board for heat marks or loose pins.
  5. If the drum turns freely but the motor will not start or runs erratically, replace the motor or the coupling set per the diagnosis.
  6. Run a full short cycle or function again and confirm the code stays gone before putting the appliance back into normal use.

Questions

What does F7E2 mean on a Amana dishwasher?

It is a fault code from the Amana control. It indicates a problem with the drive system, specifically the wash motor. A power reset is the first thing to try.

Can I keep using the dishwasher while it shows F7E2?

You can try it after a power reset. If the code returns, the affected function may not run properly, so it is worth fixing soon before it causes a bigger failure.

Do I need a technician to clear F7E2?

Often yes. Part of this repair means testing live circuits or replacing a control board, so a technician is the safer choice unless you are comfortable with electrical diagnosis.
