# Washer error code F2

### What F2 means on this make

The machine is drowning in its own foam, and it is one of the few codes on this list that is a habit rather than a part. High-efficiency machines use a fraction of the water older ones did, so a cap measured by eye from a bottle bought for a top-loader of the nineties produces suds the pump cannot move. In South Florida there is a second cause worth naming: softened water needs noticeably less detergent than hard, and a household that has just installed a softener starts seeing this within a month.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display, as a short single code — a letter and a number, or two letters. Nothing alternates and nothing arrives in halves on this make, so what the panel shows is the whole of it. Photograph it before you cut the power. This maker’s own answer to most of these is thirty seconds at the breaker, and that is worth following once — but a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again.

### What to do about it

- Check the bottle says HE. It is not marketing on these machines — a non-HE detergent will produce this code with a correctly measured dose.
- Halve what you have been using. The line on the cap is drawn for a full load in hard water, and almost nobody washes one.
- Run an empty Quick Wash to clear what is in the machine now, as the maker instructs.
- If the code returns on a normal load with HE detergent correctly measured, the pump or the pressure sensor is reading foam it cannot clear, and that is a visit.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 615-5496](tel:+13056155496) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.

Error Code F2 indicates there is too much soap or wrong type of soap. Often, suds leak out or overflow.
