Error codeF2 / F-2
ApplianceDishwasher
Quick answer
F2 on older EDW/IDW dishwashers is a circulation pump or drying fan fault: no relay closure on the power board.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so F2 / F-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
F2 is a circulation pump or drying fan fault where no relay closure is seen on the power board.
Meaning of F2
F2 appears as F-2 CIRCULATION PUMP on the older Dacor EDW/IDW 24-inch dishwashers, the Epicure and Distinctive models. The service manual labels it Circulation Pump/Drying Fan.
What the controller looks for
The controller checks for relay closure on the power board. It does not test each component for continuity or proper function, so F2 alone does not say which part is at fault. Following that up is technician work, and no owner steps are listed.
Los Angeles owners of an older Dacor dishwasher can call (310) 742-1907 for dishwasher repair. Share the F-2 code and the model number when you phone.
