Error code F7E1 on the Jenn-Air JDTSS244GP 24 in Top Control Built-In Dishwasher with 42 dBA, Third Rack, and Sensor Wash means: Heating Element / Heater Relay. The heating element is not heating the water or the heater relay on the control board has failed — test the heating element for continuity (should read approximately 10-15 ohms); check the element terminals for corrosion; if the element passes electrical testing, the relay on the control board may be defective (the relay is the component that switches power to the element); on Jenn-Air dishwashers the heating element is a ring at the bottom of the tub, accessible from underneath
