Amana NFW5800HW 4.3 cu ft Front Load Washer with Steam and Sanitize Cycle F0E2 Error Fix: Overloaded or Excessive Suds

Error code F0E2 on the Amana NFW5800HW 4.3 cu ft Front Load Washer with Steam and Sanitize Cycle means: Overloaded or Excessive Suds. The washer has detected an overload condition or excessive suds in the tub. Too much detergent or an overly large load prevents proper tumbling action. Remove some items to reduce the load size. Use only HE (High Efficiency) detergent — regular detergent creates excess suds in front-load washers. Run a Rinse & Spin cycle to clear suds, then restart with less detergent. If the error persists with a normal load and correct detergent, the suds/pressure sensor may be faulty.
