Precautionary measures
• Verify the power cord is fully inserted into a functioning 120V outlet
• Check that the washer's door or lid is completely closed and latched
• Confirm both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are fully turned on
• Inspect inlet hoses for kinks, pinches, or damage that could restrict water flow
• Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent for your load size and water hardness
• Check that the load is evenly distributed in the drum and not overloaded
• Verify your home's circuit breaker for the washer is in the ON position
• Perform a complete reset: Turn off the circuit breaker to the washer for 60 seconds, then turn it back on
• If the F8 error persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose the water level sensor and internal components
