Christie September 07, 2019 for Model Number WFW79HEBW0 Have been receiving Sud and follow-on F9/E1 codes all summer (not with every load, but it's was becoming more frequent). Took washer apart to check drain pump filter and found two coins and some residue. Pump looked fine. Took the time to clean out the drain boot between tub and pump as well as internal and external drain hoses. This helped for about 2 weeks and now I am getting the error codes again. Washer is not draining. What do I try next? New pump - even though the existing sounds like it's working.... ? New water level sensor? Would the vent hose have anything to do with this? Need advice please. Thank you.
1 Answer Christie, based on the information provided, it is likely that there is a suds residue inside of the tub that may be activating when a cycle is started. The suds can usually be seen by starting an empty cycle and observing the suds start forming within a few minutes. The cleaner Affresh W10549845 can be used to clean the suds residue. When suds occur, as they do not drain out with the water, when they break down they will leave standing water. Read More...

Julie March 28, 2018 for Model Number WFW90HEFW0 Just out of warranty on this machine and the fabric softner is not dispensing. I have thoroughly cleaned the dispenser drawer and the valves that spray water into the drawer. The detergent is dispensing fine but the fabric softner either lays in the dispenser drawer or the drawer fills up with water but not enough to dispense. Any advice would be much appreciated.
1 Answer Julie, This issue will most likely be caused by a faulty water valve that is not allowing water to pass through the dispenser solenoid. Read More...
W.N.W May 23, 2016 for Model Number WFW72HEDW Can someone tell me if I can rewire the water pressure switch to another one? I realize that the current switch cannot be adjusted I need to swap it out for an older model that is adjustable. What would be helpful is an indication of the what each wire of the plug does. I.e. Positive, negative, etc. there has to be a way to fix this machine. The water level simply does not work and Whirlpool is of no help.
1 Answer Hello W.N.W., I"m sorry but you would need to be an engineer to safely achieve your request. The only pressure switch recommended by the manufacturer for this unit is WPW10448876. If replacing it does not correct the issue, make sure there are no obstructions in the hose or at the opening in the outer tub where the hose connects. If nothing is present in there you will need to replace the control since the problem will be in the electronic control W11031829. You should also run the diagnostic tests to see if there are any fault codes pointing to a door switch or other common cause of the issue. Read More...
Steve February 21, 2014 for Model Number WFW94HEAW I hesitantly purchased a new Whirlpool Front Loader after my old Whirlpool top loader gave up the ghost after 16 years. I immediately noticed the water level was at 1/4 in in the drum at most. Searching on-line I found this was a common complaint creating odors due to incomplete rinses. I am sure this problem was created due to manufactures meeting government requirements for efficiency. I also found information on-line on adjusting the level with a screw on some older models. The switch on my model does not appear to have any adjustment. Can you tell me if there is any adjustment anywhere else on the machine to overcome this problem? If not can you recommend another switch that I can substitute. I am trained in similar service work and have repaired my own washers for 50 years. I can modify any electrical connections if necessary. Thank you.
