Quick answer
An oversudsing alert on Whirlpool all-in-one washer dryers, with detergent and cleaning notes.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F0E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
Excessive suds are detected inside the washer/dryer.
Suds are piling up whenever an all-in-one Whirlpool washer dryer displays F0E2.
While it runs
A suds reduction routine is working to bring the suds down. Do not interrupt it; the manual says to let the cycle finish, after which it recommends a clean washer cycle.
Check your detergent
A non-HE detergent may be the cause, so stick to HE detergent only.
Measure each dose and follow the maker’s directions based on load size and soil level.
Regular cleaning
Residues from dirt, grime and detergent gather inside, bringing odors and lower efficiency. Cleaning at least monthly is the manual’s general advice; hard water or heavy use calls for more.
Compare
Try F0E1 if you started Clean Washer with clothes inside, or F0E4 for water that is too hot.
