What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
Excessive suds are detected inside the washer/dryer.
F0E2: excessive suds
The F0E2 code tells you that excessive suds were detected inside the washer/dryer. The machine runs a suds reduction routine to cut the amount of suds, and the manual says to allow the cycle to continue. When the cycle ends, running a clean washer cycle is recommended.
Detergent
Non-HE detergent can cause excessive suds, so use only HE detergent. Always measure the detergent and follow the manufacturer’s directions for load size and soil level.
Keeping the washer clean
Dirt, grime and detergent residues build up over time and can lead to odors and reduced efficiency. The manual says to clean the washing machine at least once a month, and more often with hard water or frequent use.
Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.
Safe
Important
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
