The code on the display
F0E2 usually appears on a Whirlpool or Maytag washer after a wash that made more foam than the machine can measure through.
Oversuds, explained
The Cactus Appliance washer code guide puts it in one sentence: "Oversuds: foam hides the water level from the control." With the water level hidden, the washer cannot tell how much is in the tub, so it stops rather than guess.
Clear it in two steps
The source's fix is to "Rinse and Spin with no detergent, then use less." It also warns that "a repeat with little detergent is a slow drain" and points to the long-drain code (F9E1) — so if F0E2 comes back when you are already using a small, HE dose, the real problem is downstream, not the soap.
