Kenmore Washing Machine F2 Error Code

Stuck button on the user interface

What this error means

F2 on Kenmore Elite HE front-load washers (110.41382, 110.41952 series) means the Central Control Unit sees a user-interface button held down. The washer will not accept cycle changes until the stuck key clears.

Common causes

  • Liquid detergent or bleach residue bridging touch pads
  • Cracked membrane overlay shorting adjacent buttons
  • Moisture in the console after a spill
  • Failed user-interface board behind the control panel

Step-by-step fixes

  1. 1Wipe the control surface with a barely damp cloth and dry thoroughly
  2. 2Unplug two minutes, restore power, and press each button once
  3. 3Avoid pressing multiple keys during power-up on HE3t and HE5t models
  4. 4Replace the UI assembly if F2 appears with no keys touched

When to call a technician

Order the UI by full model number from the rating plate if F2 persists on a dry, untouched panel.
