Quick answer

F8E2 relates to the dispenser on compact ventless towers, laundry towers, front load and top load washers.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

F8E2 points to the dispenser system: a drawer opened on compact ventless towers, a clogged dispenser on others.

F8E2 by washer type

  • Compact ventless laundry tower: washing box drawer opened.
  • Laundry tower: dispenser system clogged.
  • Front load washer: a problem with the dispenser system.
  • Top load washer: bulk dispenser, possibly clogged.

What to check

  1. Front load: confirm the detergent drawer or detergent cartridge is free of clogging detergent.
  2. Top load: see that the bulk dispenser holds detergent and is seated correctly.
  3. Laundry tower or top load: take the dispenser out and clean it.
  4. Power cycle: 5 minutes with the washer disconnected, then reconnect.
  5. On a laundry tower, schedule service if the code returns.
