Stuck key / user interface fault

Power the JennAir dishwasher off at the breaker for a couple of minutes to clear a transient stuck-key state
Press each control key firmly several times, since splashed food or grease can pin a button down
On top-control models, check for drying-cycle condensation collecting on the door-edge button strip
Replace the interface assembly if keys respond intermittently or the panel registers presses no one made
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.
