Kenmore Front Load Washer F0 E2: Causes & Fix
F0 E2 on a Kenmore front load washer means the machine has detected excessive suds in the basket.

OvenBosch Oven Leaking Steam, Heat, or Gas? Causes
Most likely it depends on what is escaping: steam from the top vent is normal, but steam from the door edges means the gasket has hardened and lost its seal.
