The Logic Verdict

Easy Fix. It’s almost always a clog in the drain filter or a kinked hose.

What It Means

The F02 code stands for Long Drain. The pump is running, but water isn’t leaving fast enough.

Common Causes

  1. Clogged coin trap/drain filter.
  2. Kinked drain hose behind the washer.
  3. Excessive suds (too much soap).

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Check Hose: Ensure the drain hose isn’t squished against the wall.
  2. Clean Filter: Open the bottom access panel. Unscrew the filter (have a towel ready!). Remove coins/lint.
  3. Check Pump: Verify the impeller spins freely.
