Quick answer
F3E4 — Temperature sensor on a JennAir dishwasher (verify for your model).
Model compatibility: JennAir reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E4 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
In plain terms: F3E4 is a temperature-input fault on the control. Power-cycle once; recurring F3E4 needs service. Wording and recovery steps differ by JennAir model and control generation — confirm in your use & care guide or Product Help.
