Error Code: F0E2 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Excessive suds detected (oversuds)

How to Fix F0E2 Error

This code means the machine has detected too many suds. The washer will automatically try to correct this by pausing and adding time to the cycle.
Do not add more water or open the door. Allow the machine to finish its suds-reduction routine.
To prevent this, always use High-Efficiency (HE) detergent. Reduce the amount of detergent used, especially for small loads or if you have soft water.
After the cycle is complete, run an empty ‘Clean Washer’ or ‘Rinse & Spin’ cycle to clear out any residual suds.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
