⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: OE2 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Water overflow detected during the wash cycle. The hot water valve may be stuck, or the machine is siphoning water back in through the drain hose.
How to Fix OE2 Error
- UNPLUG washer from electrical power.
- Observe tub interior for 10 minutes with washer OFF. If water level rises, inlet valve is leaking.
- Remove rear panel to access inlet valve assembly. Place towels underneath to catch residual water.
- Disconnect inlet hoses from valve ports. Inspect valve seats for mineral deposits or debris.
- Clean valve inlet screens with vinegar solution and soft brush. Rinse thoroughly.
- If leak persists after cleaning, replace entire inlet valve assembly using OEM part DC62-00120A.
- Disconnect wiring harness. Remove mounting screws. Extract old valve assembly.
- Install new valve assembly. Reconnect hoses (hand-tight plus 1/4 turn), wiring harness, and secure mounting screws.
- Restore power. Monitor tub for 15 minutes with washer OFF to confirm no water ingress.
