What F9E1 / F9E2, F8E1 (H2O), F8E2, F7E2, F8E5, FAE4, FAE5 means
This list is Whirlpool's, and we read it across to Kenmore dishwashers whose model numbers start with 665 (a Whirlpool-built platform), although that mapping is not confirmed code by code. F9E1 is a long drain and F9E2 a drain motor error. F8E1, also shown as H2O, means no water detected, F8E2 is the fill valve electrical circuit, and F8E5 a fill valve stuck open. F7E2 is the wash motor. FAE4 is a diverter error and FAE5 a diverter leak.
Common causes of F9E1 / F9E2, F8E1 (H2O), F8E2, F7E2, F8E5, FAE4, FAE5
- Drain hose, filter and drain path for F9E1
- Drain pump motor circuit for F9E2
- Water supply valve and inlet screen for F8E1
- Fill valve circuit for F8E2 and F8E5, diverter for FAE4 and FAE5
1. Check the water supply valve under the sink is fully open. 2. Make sure the drain hose is not kinked and the filter at the tub bottom is clean. 3. Check that the disposal knockout plug was removed if one is connected. 4. Look for water around the base. 5. Write down the exact code and leave the panels closed.
- A single list covers drain, fill, motor and diverter, so the exact code decides what we test.
- We confirm the platform on site because the 665 mapping is not fully documented.
- Parts are quoted in writing before we order, and the repair carries a 30-day warranty.
Other Dishwasher codes
Which code means the dishwasher will not drain?
F9E1 is a long drain and F9E2 is a drain motor error. We clear the drain path first and then test the motor circuit, so we do not replace a pump that was only blocked.
What is H2O?
It shows when no water is detected, the same condition as F8E1. Check that the supply valve under the sink is fully open before anything else.
Does every code here apply to my 665?
We cannot promise that each one does, because the match to the Kenmore 665 is not confirmed code by code. We use the list as a guide and confirm the real meaning at the unit.
