Error Code: EF2 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Too much soap.
How to Fix EF2 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Cancel the current wash cycle and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Let the washer sit for a while to allow the suds to dissipate.
- Select a ‘Rinse & Spin’ cycle and run it without any detergent to help clear the soap from the tub.
- You may need to run a second rinse cycle if a large amount of suds remains.
- Always use detergent specifically made for High-Efficiency (HE) washers and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Carefully measure your detergent according to the load size and water hardness. Using too much is the primary cause of this error.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Still Not Working?
