User Interface Board Failure
Quick Answer
Error code F2E2 on your KitchenAid Dishwashers means: User Interface Board Failure. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Affected Models
Likely Causes
  1. User interface (UI) board electronics have failed and are not processing button inputs
  2. Display LEDs or LCD segments are not illuminating due to a board-level component failure
  3. Ribbon cable from the UI board to the display is damaged
  4. Power supply to the UI board from the main board is interrupted
How to Fix It
1
Check if the display shows any lights or text; a completely blank display may indicate a power issue rather than a UI board failure
2
Disconnect power for 5 minutes and restore; check if the display comes back to life
3
Access the UI board behind the outer door panel and check the ribbon cable and power connector for secure connections
4
Inspect the UI board for visible component damage such as burned resistors or cracked solder joints
5
Replace the UI board if it shows damage or remains non-functional after connection verification
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
