Error code F8E2 (8-2)
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

F8E2 (8-2) on a Kenmore dishwasher reports a drain pump electrical problem; the manual checks pump wiring first.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F8E2 (8-2) may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

F8E2 means a drain pump electrical problem.

Code F8E2 (8-2) points at the drain pump circuit. You can meet it on Kenmore HE and Elite HE dishwashers with a digital display, on the Global HE, and on the MicroClean HE. Models that lack the display flash the Clean light instead.

HE, Elite HE and Global HE

Switch off power to the dishwasher and close the water supply. Check the wiring on the drain pump. When it is intact, the drain pump gets replaced.

MicroClean HE

Unplug the unit, then check the wiring running between the drain pump and the electronic control board. Loose wires are reconnected and a damaged wire harness is replaced. If all the wiring is intact, the drain pump is replaced.
