How to Fix F0E6 Error

This error indicates a potential issue with water filling or level detection.
First, check for low water pressure. Ensure both hot and cold water supply faucets are turned on completely.
Check the inlet hoses for kinks and clean the small filter screens inside the washer’s inlet ports.
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.

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