F8 E3 - Front Load Washer
Possible Solution
F8 E3 Code in display:
The overflow condition occurs if there is too much water or foam in the washer.
Are you using HE or High Efficiency Detergent?
Use only HE or High-Efficiency detergent. Always measure detergent. If you have very soft water, you may need to use less detergent, and using non-HE detergent or more than the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent can cause excessive suds. The excess suds can cause the washer to run at a reduced spin speed, resulting in very wet loads or error codes.

Did you use "no splash" or "easy pour" liquid chlorine bleach?
This type of liquid chlorine bleach contains a thickening agent that may create excess suds in washers. If this is the case, run the washer with regular liquid bleach products.
Clean the washer.
Once the cycle is completed, we recommend running a "Clean Washer" cycle to remove excessive detergent and buildup.

Cycle power to the control to reset the washer:
Much like a computer, resetting the washer control can sometimes solve the issues you are experiencing. To reset the washer control panel, it needs to be disconnected from the power source for one minute. If your washer is plugged into an outlet, simply unplug the unit for one minute and then plug the unit back in.
