Error Code: Dryer Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Over-suds detection—excess detergent causing foam overflow into drain system
How to Fix Dryer Error
- Cancel current cycle and power off dryer.
- Remove lint screen and inspect for soap residue—clean thoroughly under running water.
- Wipe interior of drum with damp cloth to remove detergent residue.
- Run empty rinse cycle (no clothes) using cold water setting to flush residual suds from system.
- For future loads: use HE (High Efficiency) detergent only, reduce detergent amount to manufacturer recommendation (typically 1-2 tablespoons for normal loads).
- Avoid liquid fabric softeners—use dryer sheets instead to prevent sensor contamination.
- If 0E recurs frequently with proper detergent amounts, moisture sensor bars may be contaminated—clean per F3E2 procedure.
- Error clears automatically after suds dissipate and sensor readings return to normal—no parts replacement needed.
