E2 is a motor fault. Try one reset; if it persists, disconnect power and water and call.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so E2 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
Fisher & Paykel's DishDrawer user guide lists E2 as a motor fault.
Reading E2
The guide labels E2 a motor fault and goes no deeper: no cause, no test for individual parts. What is left for the owner is a single reset and a clear hand-off.
Motor assembly basics
In the guide’s wording the dishwasher has a “motor assembly”, and that assembly has to be in place at all times together with the filter plate, drain filter and spray arm.
The one reset to try
Stop the beeper.
Note the code down. On Classic models a second number flashes briefly if you press the button again; the guide wants that noted as well, because it lets Customer Care pin the fault down more exactly.
Switch off, pause for a few seconds, and switch back on.
E2 gone? The guide counts the fault as reset and the dishwasher can stay in use.
E2 still there
Disconnect the dishwasher by pulling its plug or turning off its breaker, close the water supply, and call Customer Care quoting the code. Running it again just to watch what happens is not advised.
Two look-alikes that are not E2
Excessive motor noise: the troubleshooting table blames a filter plate or spray arm that is not seated correctly, and the cure is to refit them as the user maintenance section shows.
No water in the motor area: seen mainly on first use or after a long idle period, and handled by adding three cups of water before a program.
Neither produces a code, so with E2 on the screen they are not your situation.
