How to Fix EF0 Error (Step-by-Step)

Press the ‘Pause’ or ‘Cancel’ button to stop the current cycle.
Allow the suds to settle for 15-20 minutes and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Run a ‘Rinse & Spin’ or ‘Drain & Spin’ cycle without adding any clothes or detergent to clear out the excess foam.
If suds are still present, repeat the rinse cycle and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
In the future, make sure you are using a High-Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Reduce the amount of detergent you are using, especially for smaller loads. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

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