F8E3 — Overflow or Flood Condition

What does F8E3 mean?

This fault indicates that the main control senses the water level has exceeded the washer's capacity, suggesting an overflow risk. This can be due to drain issues or water inlet problems.

• Pressure hose connection from tub to main control is pinched, kinked, plugged, or leaking air.
• Water siphoning out of the drain hose due to improper installation.
• Problem with water inlet valves.
• Pressure transducer fault on main control.
