Kenmore Elite Oasis HE washer error code F2

I have a Kenmore Elite Oasis HE washer that continues to show an error code F2. I have removed, inspected, and cleaned both pumps. I have checked the hoses for clogs. After reassembling the machine, code F2 still shows. Does the machine have a filter that may be clogged? How do I access it?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    I should have noted that my machine is a top loader. I did not have to remove any filter to get to the pumps. I located what appears to be an inlet pump and an outlet pump. The instructions for the diagnostics test did not work on my machine. The exact model number of the machine is 110.2707263. Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated.

The error code must be cleared first to make the machine back into operation. You have to press the PAUSE/CANCEL button twice to clear the error on the display.

The only filter the machine has is the one you removed to clean the pump. When the error is cleared, you can check the pump whether it is operating properly or not by running the diagnostic test.

Diagnostic Test Mode Procedure

  1. Close the door.
  2. Select the DRAIN/SPIN.
  3. Select NO SPIN by pressing the SPIN SELECT button.
  4. Press RINSE/HOLD or PREWASH OPTION button four times within five seconds.
  5. "C:00" will show on the display indicating that the door is locked and the diagnostic test starts.
  6. Press the button you pressed in step 4 above two times. "C:01" will show on the display and the machine starts to fill.
  7. Press PAUSE/CANCEL button two times when there's enough water inside the tub to stop the test.
  8. Observe the water level falls as the pump starts draining the water. Replace the pump if the water inside the tub does not drain. You have removed and cleaned the pump so you can easily replace it too.
Please inform me about the result of the diagnostic test and if you still need any assistance regarding this problem.

    The F2 code on the Kenmore 110.27072603 has nothing to do with the drain system. Instead, it indicates a problem with either of the control board and the user interface board. Run the console and indicators diagnostic test mode to find out.

    Console and Indicators Diagnostic Test Mode Activation


        While in standby mode press the following button sequence within four seconds: SOIL LEVEL>WASH RINSE TEMP>SOIL LEVEL>WASH RINSE TEMP

        Press START within five seconds when "dt" shows on the display. All indicators in display are lit and "88" is displayed.

        Press START again. The two-digit display and the status indicators turn off while all other indicators remain lit.

        Press START again. The two-digit display and the status indicators turn on while all other indicators remain lit.

        Rotate the WASH CYCLE selector back and forth. The indicators will switch on an off.

        Press the buttons to check the functions. The indicators switch on and off and a beeping sound will be heard when a button is pressed.

        Press STOP or POWER button to exit diagnostic test mode.

        If no indicators light up or if no beeping sound is heard when a button is pressed or if some buttons do not light up indicators when pressed, check the control board, the user interface board, and the connection between them.


        Unplug the machine.

        Remove the three screws on the back of the console.

        Lift the console off the cabinet.

        The control board is located on the right side of the console viewed from the front of the machine. Disconnect the middle wiring harness connector on the right side of the control board near the pressure transducer hose.

        Clean the connector and the terminals thoroughly with brush and alcohol.

        Reconnect and disconnect the connector several times.

        Reinstall the console and reconnect power.

        If the problem is not resolved, replace the user interface board.

        If the problem is still not resolved with the replacement of the user interface board, replace the control board. You may also replace both board at the same time and keep the old good board as a spare.

Getting oL code even after diagnostic check

OL, usually means Over Loaded. It is an error code thrown up by the on board computericon1.png.. generally when TOO much wet weight is in the bowl.

This condition is could be caused by faulty solenoid or solenoids at the water inlet valve. Unplug the machine, turn off the water, and remove the supply hoses. Check the solenoids at the water inlet valve. They can be tested using a multimeter or ohmmeter and checking for continuity. A lack of continuity will indicate a faulty solenoid and the inlet valve assy will need to be replaced.

Try unplugging for 12 hrs before reconnecting
If the problem continues then the controller board is damaged and will need to be replaced.

I have a model 27096 top load kenmore elite oasis he washing machine that keeps flashing code F2 and keeps turning itself on. Help

"F02" is a Long Drain error. If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes this error code will be displayed. In addition, a "SUDS" error may also be generated as a secondary error. This is an indication of a drain pump problem and/or clog in the drain line. You will need to check the following:

1. Check the drain hose to make sure it is not kinked or clogged.
2. Check the electrical connections to the pump and ensure the pump is running.
3. Remove the drain pump filter and check for foreign objects and/or debris.

To check the drain pump, click on the following link for step-by-step instructions.

If the above procedures do not correct the problem, it is recommended by the manufacturer to replace the drain pump

F2 error code

you are absolutely right.many users are facing the same problems like yours:-- The F02 error code indicates keypad/user interface failure. Most of the time, this is caused by a problem in the keypad/user interface. It can sometimes be caused by a failed control board.
You could have an intermittent problem such as a stuck key or contact. As long as the F02 is not displayed, the washer should work normally. You can continue to use it when the F02 is not displayed. It is still safe to use the washer.
Sometimes this problem is caused by a loose wiring harness connection between the keypad/user interface control board and the machine control board.
The F2 error code on this washer indicates a stuck button on the user interface control board. The procedure for accessing the control boards on this washer is shown in the image below. I recommend unplugging the washerand checking the wire harness connection from the user interface control board to the machine control board. Try unplugging the connections and then plugging them back in a few times. Make sure that they are plugged in correctly and then reassemble and test the washer. If the F2 is still displayed, then the user interface control board will need to be replaced.

F2 error code

Chia, this is not a good one, F2 is a keypad failure or interface mismatch. You can try a couple of things. 1. unplug the washer for a minute and see if the code returns. 2. Remove the consol to access the control board, three screws on the backside and the consol lifts up. On the right side you will see the main board. On the right side of the board, center harness will be the interface ribbon cable. Reseat it a couple of times. If this doesn't work, I believe you will have to replace the touchpad. Catriver.
