Amana Washer F0 E2 Error Code

Too many suds in the drum on Amana washers.

AmanaAll Amana washer codes

F0 E2
Easy DIY fix

There's too much foam in the basket. The washer runs its own suds-reduction routine, and the usual culprit is non-HE detergent or too heavy a dose.

Compatible models

Amana front-load washers. The bulk dispenser advice only applies to models that have one.

Also shown as

When suds are found the display may also show Sud or Sd. With the Rinse light on, the washer is still clearing them, so let it finish. With the Cycle Complete light on, the load may not be fully rinsed or spun; run Rinse/Spin.

Difficulty

Most people can clear this one at home with simple checks.

Safety first: unplug the washer (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Amana F0 E2

  1. Let the cycle run

    Don't stop the washer. It adds extra rinsing to break down the foam and the cycle will take longer.

  2. Rinse again if needed

    If Sud or Sd shows with Cycle Complete lit, run a Rinse/Spin before you take the clothes out.

  3. Fix the detergent dose

    Use only HE detergent and stay under the recommended amount. If your washer has a bulk dispenser that's switched on, don't add detergent by hand as well, and check the concentration setting.

When to call a technician

Foam still builds with a measured HE dose: have a technician check the washer.
