Causes listed for this condition
In the order the service documentation checks them. Documented causes come from the manufacturer's service documentation for these platforms; possible causes are based on how the system works; unconfirmed marks common assumptions that the documentation does not support.
- Documented Corrupt configuration memory in the console board; the documented correction is a console replacement.
- Possible A power surge that damaged stored data.
Safe checks you can make
- Unplug the washer for one minute, plug it back in and start a new cycle. If the code comes straight back, the condition is persistent and needs diagnosis.
Further diagnosis requires opening the appliance. Beyond the owner checks, diagnosis involves removing panels, testing components and checking wiring. We describe what a technician investigates, not how to do it yourself.
What a technician checks
- Confirms the code persists after a power reset.
- Verifies the console part for the model.

Repair or replace?
A fault code alone rarely justifies replacing a washer. Most F2E5 repairs involve a single component once diagnosed. Replacement becomes worth considering when the unit is near the end of its typical 10–13-year life and the diagnosed repair is a major one. See the repair-or-replace guide.
