Whirlpool dishwasher Error Codes
Explanations follow official Whirlpool support pages.
- F6E3Excessive suds detected in the tub, which can stop the dishwasher from filling or operating properly.
- F6E4Water float (overfill) switch error - incorrect leveling can actuate the overfill/float switch and trigger this code.
- F8E2Fill valve electrical error. Whirlpool suggests removing the drip tray to inspect the inlet valve connection for leaks, then power cycling.
- F8E4Water detected in the drip tray - a possible leak or overflow, common after a new installation.
- F8E5Fill valve stuck open - water may keep entering the dishwasher. Whirlpool says to shut off the water supply.
- F9E1Long drain condition - the dishwasher is not draining. Whirlpool lists checks for the filter, drain hose, sink disposer, and air gap, then a power cycle.
- F9E2Drain motor error. Whirlpool lists drain-path checks (disposer knockout, clogs, kinked hose, hose routing), then a power cycle; service if it returns.
- FAE5Diverter leak. Whirlpool says to check for leaks under the dishwasher and confirm water connections are secure, press Cancel twice, and try a new cycle.
