How to Fix Error F8 E2 — Step by Step

1. 1

   Step 1: Check for Loose Connections

   Before starting any repairs, ensure that all connections between the dispenser system module and the control board are secure. Use a multimeter to check for any loose or corroded connections. Set the multimeter to DC volts and measure the voltage at the connections. Normal voltage reading should be around 12-15V DC. If you find a loose connection, tighten it and recheck the voltage.

   💡 Pro Tip: When checking connections, make sure to turn off the power to the washing machine at the circuit breaker or fuse box. This will prevent any electrical shocks or damage to the appliance.

   Step 2: Reset the Dispenser System

   Reset the dispenser system by pressing and holding the 'Delay Start' button for 5 seconds. Release the button and then press it again for 5 seconds. This will reset the dispenser system and clear any error codes. Check if the error code F8 E2 reappears after resetting.

   💡 Pro Tip: If you're unsure about the location of the 'Delay Start' button, consult your user manual or look for a button with a similar label. You can also refer to our guide on [LG Washing Machine Error Codes](/lg/washing-machine/error-ce/) for more information on resetting dispenser systems.
