The F2 error code on a Kenmore washer means the washer took too long to fill with water. If the tub does not reach the required water level within the programmed fill time, the washer will stop and display F2 to prevent a dry run of the pump and motor.
Causes
- Low water pressure in the home
- Supply valve not fully open
- Clogged inlet valve filter screens
- Kinked supply hoses
- Defective water inlet valve
Troubleshooting
- Verify both hot and cold supply valves are fully open.
- Check hoses for kinks.
- Clean inlet valve filter screens.
- Test household water pressure at a nearby faucet.
- If pressure and hoses are fine, the inlet valve requires professional replacement.
