What FE looks like on a Montpellier dishwasher
Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a Montpellier dishwasher, FE usually shows up as one or more of these:
- Dishwasher door won't open
- Door won't lock or click shut
- Door lock light flashing
- Door stuck shut with the load inside
- Won't start even with the door closed
- FE flashing on the display
- Beeping and showing FE
Recognise any of those? That is this fault, and the rest of this page explains what causes it and what you can check yourself.

Is there anything you can try?
Honestly, not with this one. There's nothing safe to check from the outside, so it needs someone with the machine opened up.
