  3. Do a power reset. Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker for one minute, then restore power and try again. If the code clears and stays away, it may have been a one-off fault.
  4. Test and decide. Run a short cycle or restart and watch the display. If FCE2 comes back after these checks, stop using the dishwasher for this function and call a technician, because the remaining causes need meters or part replacement.
