FOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN'S USE ONLY
FAULT/ERROR CODES (connued) — The fault codes below may be indicated
under various condions and can be accessed through Service Diagnoscs.
Display EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE
F8E1 NO WATER DETECTED ENTERING WASHER OR PRESSURE SWITCH TRIP NOT DETECTED
The washer does not detect water input aer 13 minutes of filling.
Possible Causes
• Is water supply connected and turned on?
• Check for blocked or kinked inlet hoses.
• Low water pressure or blocked hose screens.
• Check for proper drain hose installaon. Is water siphoning out of the drain hose? Drain hose must not
be more than 4.5" (113 mm) into drain pipe.
• Check pressure hose connecon from tub to pressure sensor
. Is hose pinched, kinked, plugged,
• See TEST #6 (Water Inlet Valves).
• See TEST #7 (Pressure Sensor).
F8E2 DISPENSER SYSTEM ERROR
Dispenser motor is unable to reach the desired posion.
Possible Causes
• Check the mechanical linkage from dispenser motor to top of dispenser.
• See TEST #12 (Dispenser Distribuon System).
F8E3 OVERFLOW CONDITION
The overflow condion occurs if there is too much water or foam in the washer and the overflow contact
on the pressure switch is closed for more than 60 seconds or 3 mes during the same cycle. If overflow
occurs, the valves are closed and the drain pump switches on for at least 30 seconds.
Possible Causes
• Check inlet valves for proper shutoff.
• Ve rify that drain hose is not plugged or kinked.
• Check/clean drain pump filter of foreign objects.
• Check pressure hose connecon from tub to pressure sensor. Is hose pinched, kinked, plugged,
• See TEST #6 (Water Inlet Va
lves).
• See TEST #7 (Pressure Sensor/Switch).
• See TEST #8 (Drain Pump).
F8E4 FLOW METER FAULT
If less than 0.1L of water has entered the tub aer 30 seconds from the start of the quick diagnosc roune,
this error will be displayed. This error code is available only in service diagnoscs.
Possible Causes
• Is water supply connected and turned on?
• Check for blocked or kinked inlet hoses.
• See TEST #6 (Water Inlet Va
lves) .
• See TEST #9 (Flow Meter) .
F9E1 LONG DRAIN
If the drain me exceeds 8 minutes without reaching reset level in pressure sensor, the valves are turned
off and the drain pump will stop running. NOTE: Suds can cause delays in draining. Washer drains for
4 minutes, pauses 5 minutes, then tries again for 4 addional minutes of draining. F9E1 will display if washer
does not drain. (Normal drain takes less than 2 minutes)
Possible Causes
• Ve rify that the drain hose is not blocked or kinked.
• Make sure drain hose is not sealed into drain pipe.
• Make sure the drain hose height does not exceed 96" (2.4 m).
• Check/clean drain pump filter of foreign objects.
• Check pressure hose connecon from tub to pressure sensor. Is hose pinched, kinked, plugged,
• See TEST #8 (Drain Pump)19.
