Error codeF6E2
ApplianceWasher
On top load washers, F6E2 appears as a reboot alert. The manual ties it to three things: the appliance control unit, the user interface and the wiring associated with them.
At a glance
Applies to: top load washers
Alert type: reboot
Area named: control unit, user interface, wiring
Reboot the washer
Treat it as you would a computer that needs restarting: a reset can sometimes clear the alert. Disconnect the washer from power at the plug or the breaker and keep it that way for five full minutes. Reconnect, then look at the display for F6E2.

F6E3 is worded in the same way. If the display differs, check F5E3 or F5E4, which are about the door and not the electronics.
