Turbidity Sensor Fault

Quick Answer

Error code F6E2 on your KitchenAid Dishwashers means: Turbidity Sensor Fault. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.

Likely Causes

Turbidity sensor (soil sensor) is coated with grease or food residue and cannot read water clarity
Sensor wiring has a fault or loose connection
Sensor has failed electronically
Water temperature is outside the range where the turbidity sensor can operate accurately

How to Fix It

Remove the lower rack and filter assembly to access the turbidity sensor in the sump area

Clean the sensor lens/window with a soft cloth and warm soapy water

Check the sensor wiring connector for corrosion and ensure it is firmly seated

Run a test cycle after cleaning; if the error clears, the sensor was simply dirty

Replace the turbidity sensor if cleaning does not resolve the error
