Jerry S October 08, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool Duet Washer Model GHW9400PW0 I have had a problem for a while where I get a door lock error dl and F. I have been putting up with this for some time now where I try opening and closing the door, unplugging and plugging it back in, I even have resorted to banging on the top right and it starts, based on a report I read. A couple weeks ago while it was in a spin cycle, it got out of balanced and the door broke open breaking the latch. I have been taping the door shut and it works, now it will not finish cycles. It stops in the wash cycle, it stops in the rinse cycle and stops in the spin cycle. Helps
1 Answer Hello Jerry. It sounds like you need to replace the door lock assembly on the unit. Read More...
Jack October 07, 2013 for Model Number 110.45992400 i bought a replacement door lock assembly because i was getting an error code. i installed the new assembly and i am still getting the same error code. the wholesaler suggested i replace the circuit board because that usually burns out when the door assembly fails. does this sound right to you?
1 Answer Jack, Presumably you had a "DU" or "DL" error code. There is a possibility that the damaged door latch assembly could have damaged the CCU, but it's not as common on this model washer as the wholesaler suggested. You do want to recheck and make sure all the wiring harness connectors are properly seated in the board connectors and routed properly through the cabinet. Also check and make sure the door and door strike are properly aligned and engaging the latch assembly properly to the front panel, before you replace the CCU WP8182689. Read More...
Tommy September 21, 2013 for Model Number 11045081400 my washer give me a code f-dl I seen others say dl-f code are these the same codes for the door latch or a different part. thanks
1 Answer Tommy, These error codes are both the same and represent an door lock error. You will want to check the wire harness and the connections. If these check ok then most likely the door switch assembly is faulty and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Georgia B September 07, 2013 for Model Number GHW9400PWO My washer displays F11 and will not finish the cycle?
1 Answer Georgia, The F11 error code is a motor control failure: The Motor Control Unit has internal failure. If failure occurs during high-speed spin the door unlocks after 3 minutes. This error code is only shown in Diagnostic test. Possible Causes/Procedure - Verify the shipping system including shipping bolts and spacers are removed, and power cord out of the unit. - Check if washer is on a dedicated circuit. Other devices on same circuit can create line noise and cause this issue. - Un plug washer or disconnect power - Check the neutral feed to the MCU and CCU from the AC line filter. - Check allwire harness connections between the Motor & MCU, and MCU to CCU, are not broken orwires detached and connector internal pins are visible. - Make sure that all the connectors are fully seated. - Plug inwasher or reconnect power cord. - Verify the unit operation by running the Diagnostic Test cycle. See page 5. - After the diagnostic test has finished, unplugwasher or disconnect power cord andwait for 15 seconds. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Byrne. Check and see if the door switches are bad and needs to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Sean M July 09, 2013 for Model Number GHW9150PW My washer machine keeps giving me an error code of "dl f". I presume this means door latch failure. If I replace the door latch mechanism and strike, will that solve my problem?
1 Answer Hello Sean. Based on the error code provided, it sounds like the door lock assembly will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Walter May 24, 2013 for Model Number MAH8700AWW The washer runs fine no problems except sometimes it will not run the spin cycle. Is there any ideas? Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Walter, You will want to check to make sure that the drain is not clogged up. If the drain is slow or clogged it will cause the unit to not go into the spin cycle. Also check to make sure that the door lock assembly is good. An intermittent door lock will cause no spin issue. Read More...
Dixie May 09, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool duet washer The washer is displaying "SUDS", I've emptied out the washer but cannot get the suds display to turn off, cannot get the washer to go off, or restart.
1 Answer Hello Dixie. Unplug the unit. Remove the pressure switch hose and blow through the hose. Once the chamber is clear, if the code continues, replace the pressure switch. If it is still there, then the board will have to be replaced. Read More...

Cw March 26, 2013 for Model Number samsung front load washer WF410ANR/XXA my washer locked up at the start of a cycle and is throwing an error code of "LE". the door is locked and wont open. i have a repairman telling me i need a door seal, a door switch and a pressure switch. this is a 3year old washer...any advise?? thanks, CW
1 Answer CW, The "LE" code in the display would indicate and issue in the water level, you'd want to check the water level sensor switch DC97-03716C, Remove and blow into the tube to make sure it's not clogged with sediment or debris and has an air tight fit at the switch and tub connection. Then consider the control board if all else checks OK. Read More...
