# Dishwasher error code F2

### What F2 means on this make

Two devices can raise this: the pressure sensor reading a level above what the program asked for, or the float in the base lifting because water has collected where it should not be. The second is the one that matters, because a lifted float usually means a leak somewhere in the machine and the base tray is doing its job. The drain pump runs to protect the floor, and it will keep running until the level clears.

### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to

On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.

### Which machines this one applies to

DW20.1 platform, 3000-series. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 8 of the appliance types this site publishes — cooktop, dishwasher, dryer, microwave, oven, range, refrigerator and washer — and publishes none at all for commercial line, freezer, microwave, oven, range, range hood and refrigerator. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.

### What to do about it

- Stop the program and look under the toe kick for water in the base tray.
- If the tray is wet, treat this as a leak rather than a sensor problem and stop using the machine.
- If the tray is dry, the pressure sensor or the inlet valve holding open are the two candidates, and both are testable.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-1406](tel:+13053631406) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
