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
