Meaning of the phrase
Broadly, two electronic parts that normally trade signals are no longer doing so properly. JennAir does not identify the parts, the wire, or the trigger. The source offers a reset and then service.
Reset procedure
Take power away from the dishwasher for 30 seconds.
Plug-in model: unplug it, then insert the plug again. Hard-wired model: breaker off at the panel, pause, breaker on.
Start the dishwasher and watch for the code.
Knowing when to stop
If either code shows again, JennAir treats that as the signal to schedule service. More resets only repeat the same test. Remember which of the two codes appeared and whether the keypad reacted at all, since that is worth passing on.
F6E1 describes an interface error connected to the main control.
