Summary

Kenmore 66513152K702 error code 1-1 OR F1E1 means stuck relay on the electronic control board. This guide explains the likely causes, the safest first checks, and when support or service is the better next step.

Fix it fast

  1. Power-reset the appliance once and remove any obvious obstruction if that is safe.
  2. Check that any removable trays, partitions, filters, or brew groups are fitted correctly.
  3. Retest once and confirm whether the mechanism starts normally or the same code returns.

What 1-1 OR F1E1 means

Stuck relay on the electronic control board. On the Kenmore 66513152K702, this code relates to the dishwasher and should be interpreted together with how the appliance is behaving right now.

Common symptoms

  • The dishwasher displays 1-1 OR F1E1 instead of normal status information.
  • The current cycle, function, or startup sequence may stop, pause, or behave differently than expected.
  • The same code may return after a reset if the underlying issue is still present.

Most likely causes

  • A moving component, lock, fan, motor, or mechanism is jammed, misaligned, or not being detected correctly.
  • A related sensor, connector, or control circuit is not seeing the component move as expected.

Deeper checks before service

  1. Listen for unusual grinding, clicking, or stalled motor sounds when the appliance starts the affected function.
  2. Check whether the fault started after cleaning, reassembly, or moving the appliance.
  3. If the mechanism still fails, the component or its control path usually needs service.

Safety warnings

  • Do not force locks, motors, partitions, or moving parts if they do not seat naturally.

When to contact support

Book service if 1-1 OR F1E1 returns after the basic fitment and reset checks, or if the moving part still jams, grinds, or fails to start.

FAQ

Can 1-1 OR F1E1 clear after a reset?
Sometimes a temporary glitch clears after one full reset, but a repeated return usually means the same underlying issue is still there.
Should I keep using the appliance if it works again briefly?
