Bill February 24, 2023 for Model Number WFW8400TW02 Machine did drain but no water comes in and door locks even with new door lock switch. I can manually open the door (with the bottom panel off) by pulling down on the round white plastic part at the bottom of the switch. I can take the old water pressure level switch out - is it possible to test it with a resistance meter? Maybe after 13 years I need a new machine.
1 Answer Bill, Locate your tech sheet and run the machine through a diagnostics cycle to help determine the issue. Testing the pressure switch would be a continuity test. It should have continuity before being filled and no continuity once full. Read More...
Mahoney April 15, 2020 for Model Number 110.47512602 kenmore We are getting an F20 code error and the fabric softener doesn't drain. It always happens with a full load and about the last 9 minutes of the cycle. It is pretty consistent with this. We have cleaned the drain pipe, cleaned screens, and water pressure from hoses. The dispenser motor appears to work during the cycles because it moves between the different numbers during the cycle. What is the likely problem? I don't want to replace parts that don't need replaced. Thanks,
1 Answer Hello Mahoney, the F20 code refers to the washer running out of fill time since this occurs in the last 9 minutes of the cycle that would be the last rinse fill, which is all cold water fill and a higher water level than the wash fill. This usually means there is not enough cold water entering fast enough in the time allowed. Since you have checked the hoses that points to a restricted water flow in the cold water side of the inlet water valve, part WP8540751. Read More...
Keith September 08, 2019 for Model Number WFW8300SW04 I just hooked up this washer after transporting from one house to another and a year of storage. Ran a wash cycle, seemed to work fine (water level, agitation, etc.) When going to spin, would not spin, just stopped and shut down. No error codes. Unplugged, plugged back in, tried a drain and spin cycle, pumped out, would not spin, just shut down. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Keith, you say no error codes, was this during the wash cycle or in the diagnostic test? To run the test and retrieve any codes ,with washer empty, close the door and press any keypad,except pause /cancel , hold in for 4 seconds /release 4 seconds do this 4x , washer will display any fault codes, press same key once for any additional codes, if no more codes washer will start an automatic test cycle, Read More...
Ron February 10, 2019 for Model Number kenmore het2 110-47561602 Keep getting an intermittent f-20 code. Have checked all the hoses , inlet screens, good water pressure, and cleaned drain valve, I hate to buy both the water valve and the pressure switch and would like to know how to check the water valve for correct water flow. I disconnected the water valve from the detergent dispenser and checked the water flow from the water valve. Went through all water temperature settings and the water flow appears to be slow. Are they any specs. to check what the amount of water flow is suppose to be? The solenoids appear to have the correct voltage. How can you check the pressure switch with an ohm meter to determine if it is good? According to the above issues, What part would you suggest for me to buy first?
1 Answer Ron, If the water flow appears to be slow then this will most likely be an issue with the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Paul Vallimont January 03, 2018 I have a kenmore front load washer , when i start the washer water leaks out the front tray opening. What would cause this problem? Thanks paul
1 Answer Paul, We would need to have a model number for the unit to be able to assist with your question but sounds likely that there is an issue with a clog in the dispenser assembly that is causing water to run out. Read More...
Jim October 08, 2017 for Model Number WFW9150WW00 I am working on a duet front load washer wfw9150ww00. It won't do the final spin, and it gives the F8 E1 code I think by flashing the wash light 8 times the 1. I found this is supposed to mean an issue with the inlet water flow. The water flow is good. I checked the hoses, screens, they're good. Some models have a flow meter to monitor the flow of water. This model doesn't. Could the pressure switch have something to do with this problem?
1 Answer Jim, Yes the pressure switch can play a factor in the unit not filling and throwing the F8 E1 error code and on the tech sheet there is a test for the pressure switch on page 7. If the pressure switch checks ok then the check the wiring of from the control board to the water valve and make sure that there is no damaged or broken wires. If this is ok then test to see if there is 120 vac getting to the water valve. If there is then the water valve would be the issue and if there is not then the control board would be the issue.

Randy July 15, 2017 for Model Number WFW8250ww00 I replaced the water level pressure switch after being diagnosed by a repair tech as being bad. It still does not work correctly. Water kicks on and off all through was cycle. During 2 hr whites cycle it fills to the point it shuts off and displays FL code. Any ideas? Thanks
1 Answer Randy, The model number you supplied is incorrect or incomplete, however, the LF or FL error codes indicates a "Long Fill" or No Fill problem. Since you replaced the water level switch, check to make sure the connections are tight and proper. Disconnect the air tube from the switch and blow in the end of the tube, hard, This should clear any sediment or debris that make have deposited in the tube. Also disconnect the fill hoses from the faucets and the washer, check the debris screens in the valve inlet and remove any sediment from the screens, check and clear any debris from the screened washers in the fill hose ends, and flush the faucets, That way you have plenty of water supplied to the washer fill valve, and the air in the tube to the pressure switch can move freely up and down the tube.

Amanda December 11, 2016 We have a kenmore H2 washer. We were getting an SD error and f21. Replaced the pressure switch but still getting same errors. Any ideas? We have blown into the pressure switch tube as well
1 Answer Amanda, The SD would be a suds error would suggest checking the drain filter and make sure that it is not clogged. If this checks ok then the issue will be a faulty main control board. Read More...
Clint September 21, 2016 I have Kenmore front load washer model number 110.4756160 It will start to fill with water but it never starts the wash cycle, goes into F20 error. If I disconnect the hose into the water pressure valve switch and blow into it while water is filling it will go into the wash cycle. That leads me to think the hose is damaged but as far as I can tell it's in good shape, is connected and has foam wrapping to protect it from rub ware. Any tips on what to try next? Thanks!
1 Answer Clint, To properly assist you we will need your model number to help you with this. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Scott July 04, 2016 for Model Number wfw9150ww Part number w10163980 fell and layed on the washing tub for who knows how long. 2 wires disconnected from the plug that plugs into part #w10163980 and now I get a f8e1 code. my question is can I just buy the plug? Can I try and rewire the plug?
