F2E1 on a JennAir dishwasher: stuck key or console error. Cycle power first; service if the code comes back.
Model compatibility: JennAir reuses codes across series and model years, so F2E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
JennAir lists a stuck key or console error as the potential cause of F2E1.
Controls-related code
Of all JennAir’s dishwasher codes, F2E1 aims most directly at the buttons. Its listed potential cause is a stuck key or console error; the wording on the page is slightly loose, yet the intent is plain.
“Console” means the button panel and “key” means one button on it, which places the code on the keypad side of the appliance. How a key gets stuck, which one to inspect, and whether the cause is a physical jam or a faulty electronic reading are all unanswered by JennAir, so they remain open here.
Steps from the manufacturer
Cut power to the dishwasher for 30 seconds.
For a plug-in model, unplug and replug it. For a hard-wired model, switch the breaker off at the service panel for 30 seconds, then on.
JennAir describes the reset as being like a computer restart.
A repeat of F2E1
The page finishes by saying to schedule service if the code returns. It never suggests prying at the panel or pressing keys over and over, so avoid both. The console is part of the dishwasher’s electrical system, and tampering with it carries risk.
F1E2 / F2E2 cover the main control’s communication.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
