What the F02 Error Code Means
The F02 error code indicates that the water level inside the machine has exceeded the expected level. The pressure sensor or control system has detected that too much water is present and has stopped the cycle to prevent overflow or damage.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty water inlet valve
A water inlet valve that is stuck open or not closing correctly will continue to allow water into the drum even when the required level has been reached, causing an overflow condition.
Faulty pressure sensor
The pressure sensor monitors the water level in the drum. If it has failed or is giving incorrect readings, it may incorrectly report an overflow condition.
Blocked pressure sensor hose
The small hose connecting the pressure sensor to the drum can become blocked or kinked, causing inaccurate water level readings.
Drain hose siphoning
If the drain hose is positioned too low, water can siphon back into the drum from the drain, causing the water level to rise unexpectedly.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the drain hose position
Ensure the end of the drain hose is positioned between 60cm and 100cm above floor level. If it is too low, water may be siphoning back into the drum.
Check for excess detergent or foam
Excessive foam caused by too much detergent can affect water level readings. Ensure you are using the correct type and amount of detergent for your machine.
Restart the washing machine
Switch the machine off at the mains and leave it unplugged for a few minutes. Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme. If the error was caused by a temporary sensor glitch, a reset may clear it.
