Hello & Welcome to FixYa
F02 is a drain error in your Kenmore washer, if
the unit is unable to drain then after 4 minutes it will display suds and then
F02. The first thing that should be done is cleaning the drain hose and the
drain pump filter, you can take out three torx screws from the bottom front
panel and then clean the area completely, lift up the cap to clean the filter.
If the error returns then check the drain pump if it is not working then
replacing the pump is recommended repair. Please get back to me if you have any
other questions.

The same happens with mine. So far, I have just been pushing cancel twice, then switching to rinse/spin, and that usually takes care of it...But if there's anything else causing the problem beside too much soap, i should like to know about it before I wreck my machine...
