Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

Pro Diagnostic Tip
JennAir top-control dishwashers expose the button strip along the door top edge to steam from the dry phase, which is the usual driver of F2E1 — running a thin bead of clear silicone along the new panel top edge keeps condensation out and prevents a repeat.
