Amana Washer Error Code F0 E2
Excess suds
Common Causes
- 1Too much detergent
- 2Non-HE detergent
- 3Residue buildup in the drum and hoses
- 4Pressure sensor reading foam as an overfill
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Drop to a single tablespoon of HE detergent — the low fill volume on these value Amana NTW and NFW tubs whips even a little soap into a mountain of foam
- 2
If regular soap has been used, run two empty rinse cycles to purge the built-up lather before trusting the machine again
- 3
Fire a Clean Washer or tub-clean cycle to strip the slimy film that clings inside the basket and hoses
- 4
Pull and rinse the drain pump filter, since foam that cannot drain away keeps re-tripping the code
- 5
Only if F0 E2 keeps coming back on correct detergent, have the pressure sensor hose checked for reading the foam layer as a high water level
Pro Diagnostic Tip
On these budget Amana top and front loaders the tub fills with very little water, so the margin for detergent error is tiny — a heaping scoop or any non-HE soap overwhelms the small water volume and foams over, and simply measuring one level tablespoon clears it at no cost. A stubborn F0 E2 that survives correct detergent is the rare case: a lazy drain leaving foam behind, or a pressure hose misreading that foam as water, which is the only part of this that costs anything.
