About F2E2
Its listed potential cause is a communication error, and it applies to laundry towers. A code that remains after the reset means it is time to schedule service.
For the Miami, New York, Houston, Los Angeles and San Diego metro areas, dial (844) 968-2053. Keep the code, the tower model number and your reset notes in hand.
Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.
Safe
Important
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
