This dispenser switch is the small electrical switch behind the dispenser lever/paddle. When pressed, it signals the control to dispense, helping restore a responsive lever feel and consistent ice or water dispensing.

  • Detects lever/paddle movement and closes the circuit to start dispensing
  • Helps fix: no ice or water when the lever is pressed
  • Helps fix: must press very hard or hold the lever "just right"
  • Helps fix: intermittent operation or a stuck-on dispenser due to a failing switch
What's included: 1 dispenser switch Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if working near water lines
  • Access the switch behind the dispenser panel/escutcheon; carefully release trim and tabs as designed for your model
  • Note wire positions; move connectors to the new switch in the same locations (NO/NC/COM as applicable)
  • Before reassembly, verify a positive "click" and confirm the switch changes continuity when actuated

Ellie for Model Number 110.42822201 Kenmore front load washer

FH code. I disconnected and connected power. I can pause and restart, but after a minute shows the FH code again and I have being able to finish my washing task like that. The Cold and Hot Water flows well and I see no drainage issues. I did noticed however that the softener liquid stays in the dispenser because the lever got stuck in phase II. I have order the actuator, the cam and the lever, the two latter are in good condition but I'll rather replace the whole set. However, the screw (part # 8181728) is missing and it's no longer available thru the manufacturer. I see NO other screw that can replace it. Any recommendations?

Answer

Ellie, Based on the information provided the FH error could be a couple of different issues. It indicates that the pressure switch did not show water in the tub or the flow meter did not show the proper flow of water. These could be defective switches and/or lose wiring connections between them and the CCU. Check the wiring connections, this error could also be caused by a syphoning issue at the drain. Check to make sure the drain hose is not too tight in the standpipe or too far down into the standpipe.
