Problem: Excessive suds detected (oversuds)

How to Fix F0E2 Error

1. 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.
2. Do not add more water or open the door. Allow the machine to finish its suds-reduction routine.
3. 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.
4. After the cycle is complete, run an empty ‘Clean Washer’ or ‘Rinse & Spin’ cycle to clear out any residual suds.

Problem: Off-balance condition detected

How to Fix F0E4 Error

1. This code indicates an off-balance condition was detected. The database part association may be for a different model where this code has a dual meaning.
2. First, treat as an off-balance load. Pause the cycle and manually redistribute the wet clothes evenly in the drum.
3. If the error persists, check your water supply. Ensure both hot and cold water faucets are fully open and the hoses are not kinked.
4. If the problem continues after these user actions, it may be a faulty water inlet valve, which requires a ‘Moderate’ difficulty repair.

Problem: Water ring; water fill or level detection problem

How to Fix F0E6 Error

1. This error indicates a potential issue with water filling or level detection.
2. First, check for low water pressure. Ensure both hot and cold water supply faucets are turned on completely.
3. Check the inlet hoses for kinks and clean the small filter screens inside the washer’s inlet ports.
4. This error can also be triggered by an off-balance load. Redistribute the clothes and try again. If the error persists, it may point to a more serious sensor or control board issue.

Problem: System error (model-specific)

How to Fix F0E8 Error

1. UNPLUG THE WASHER. This error code can indicate a problem with the drain pump on certain models.
2. First, check the drain pump filter for clogs. It’s usually behind a small access door on the bottom front of the washer. Have a shallow pan and towel ready for residual water.
3. If the filter is clear, the drain pump itself may have failed or be jammed. Access the pump from the bottom or by removing the front panel.
4. Check if the impeller can be turned by hand (with power off). If it’s seized or makes a grinding noise, replace the pump.

Problem: System error (model-specific)

How to Fix F0E9 Error

1. This is a generic system error code. The first step is to attempt a hard reset.
2. Press the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button to clear the code and stop the cycle.
3. Unplug the washer from the wall outlet for 5-10 minutes.
4. Plug the washer back in and attempt to start a new cycle. If the error code returns immediately, it indicates a more serious issue that may require professional service.

Problem: Motor control error or motor drive module fault

How to Fix F1E2 Error

1. UNPLUG THE WASHER. This is a critical error indicating a fault in the Motor Control Unit (MCU).
2. The MCU is located at the bottom of the washer, attached near the drive motor. You will need to tilt the washer back or lay it on its front (on protective blankets) to access the bottom panel.
3. Check all wire harness connections to the MCU and the motor for a secure fit. Look for any signs of damage or burnt components.
4. If all wiring is intact, the MCU has failed and must be replaced. Disconnect the harnesses, remove the mounting screws, and swap the board.

Problem: Communication loss between CCU and UI

How to Fix F2E2 Error

1. UNPLUG THE WASHER. This indicates a communication failure between the main control board (CCU) and the user interface (UI) board.
2. Access the control area by removing the top panel or console. Locate both boards.
3. Carefully inspect the ribbon cable and any other wiring that connects the two boards. Reseat the connectors firmly at both ends.
4. If the wiring is intact and the error persists, one of the two boards has failed. It can be difficult to determine which one without specialized tools, but the UI board is often the easier and cheaper part to replace first.

Problem: Factory Default; washer reset to factory settings

How to Fix Fd Error

1. This code can indicate the machine has reset to ‘Factory Defaults’, but it is often linked to a door lock communication issue.
2. First, try a hard reset by unplugging the washer for 5 minutes.
3. If the code returns, the door lock assembly is the likely culprit. UNPLUG THE WASHER.
4. Access the lock by removing the top console (top-loader) or peeling back the door boot (front-loader). Disconnect the wiring, remove the old lock, and install the new one.

Problem: Hot and cold inlet hoses installed in reverse

How to Fix HC Error

1. This code indicates the hot and cold water supply hoses are reversed.
2. Shut off the water supply faucets behind the washer.
3. Disconnect the two water hoses from the back of the washer. The hose from the hot water faucet should connect to the ‘H’ or ‘HOT’ inlet port, and the hose from the cold water faucet should connect to the ‘C’ or ‘COLD’ inlet port.
4. Swap the hoses to their correct positions, tighten them securely, and turn the water faucets back on completely.

Problem: Cycle was paused or canceled

How to Fix Int Error

1. This is not an error. ‘Int’ means the wash cycle was interrupted by pressing the ‘Start/Pause’ or ‘Cancel’ button.
2. To resume the cycle, select the desired cycle and options again, then press and hold the ‘Start’ button.
3. If you wish to end the cycle, press the ‘Power’ button to turn the machine off. You may need to run a ‘Drain & Spin’ cycle to remove water from the tub.
