Clarence June 12, 2020 for Model Number WFW915YW00 DUET WASHER I have duet front loading washer. I keep getting LF code while filling. After hitting the power button the water drains. I cleaned the water intake valve filters, but the washer is filling half way up with water before the LF code shows. I believe it may be the water pressure switch or pressure hose. What could be the problem and how can I check to make sure I buy the parts needed?
1 Answer Clarence, as the water is filling to only half of the normal fill level, this is going to indicate that there is not enough water flow to fill within the allotted 6.5-minute timeframe. If the water supply valves are fully turned on, and there are no blockages in the hose, the water inlet valve would need to be replaced. If it is occurring on cold wash and not hot wash selections, the cold water valve WPW10212596 has failed. If it is occurring on hot wash selections but not cold wash, the hot water valve WPW10212598 has failed. Read More...
Joni Soriano September 12, 2018 Maytag front loader mhwe200xw Switch-WI. What is this switch and it’s purpose?
1 Answer Joni, The W11417623 switch and W11252474 Air Tube, senses water level in the wash tub. The control signal from the pressure switch is sent to the Central Control Unit and is used to determine the amount of water introduced into the wash tub during the wash cycle. The pressure switch also senses the suds level in the wash tub. If excessive sudsing occurs,The display will show the word “Sud”. If an overfill condition is detected by the pressure switch, the CCU will turn on the drain pump and attempt to stop the overflow. Read More...
Pat February 25, 2018 for Model Number Maytag I have a LF code ? Replaced water inlet valve,water valve in the house,supply hoses,cleaned all hoses and drains and the small hose going to water level valve. Nothing has HELPED !!!!!!!!! COULD I Possibly have a bad water level valve ???? THANKS
1 Answer Pat, For this issue you will want to check to see if there is power coming to the valve. If there is no power to the valve then check the pressure switch to see if the pressure switch has voltage to it. If there is no power then check the temp switch and if the temp switch has no power to it then it will be the timer that is the issue. Read More...
Cecil October 03, 2017 for Model Number WFW9351YL00 My whirlpool Duet Front Load washer has started not super spinning the clothes dry. Mainly if it's a heavier load with towels or geans. It seems to super spin on lighter loads and garments. So, it's not all the time. However, very annoying opening the washer to soggy clothes. Please help!
1 Answer Hello Cecil. Check the belt and make sure it is good on the unit. Also make sure the large pulley is not loose on the unit as well. If all of that is good, then check your bearings next. The last thing to check would be the motor and board combo WPW10315848. If bad, it would cause the issues your having with the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Tom September 11, 2016 for Model Number WFW9150WW01 Two of the four or so wires going to the water pressure switch have broken off of the wire harness. Is there a way to get the wires back into the harness? Is there a way to just buy a replacement for this individual wiring harness instead of the big group of wire harnesses for $77?
1 Answer Tom, Unfortunately there would be no way to get the wires back into the harness if they broke. This would require replacing the entire harness and not individual harness to the pressure switch. Read More...
Eric July 01, 2016 for Model Number wfw9450wr00 My washer keeps going into F21 fault. I have taken out and cleaned the filter to the pump. If I wash a small load the unit works. If i try to wash a load of Jeans the unit goes through its cycle until the some where in the wash cycle and the display says SUDS and the unit goes into the F21 code. If you put a large load in the washer it goes into the F21 code. I have taken the top of the washer and removed the pump and drain hoses all the way back to the drain at the wall( no obstructions). If you run the washer with no clothes it does fine. I have put it through its diagnostic cycle and it appears fine. I don't know where to go from here, do I replace the pump and pressure switch or am i on the wrong track? Please let me know what you think? Thank you Eric.
2 Answers Hello Eric, This is most likely going to be the drain pump (W10117829) if nothing is obstructing the drain from inside the outer tub to the standpipe. I'm sorry but this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Read More...

2 Answers Eric, Would suggest that the pressure hose is not getting clogged up. Maybe run the unit unit through a clean cycle to ensure that any residue is cleared up that could cause over sudsing. If all this checks ok then it would be more likely that the issue will be with the pressure switch not resetting. Read More...
Ralph Pontillo January 09, 2016 for Model Number duet Have the duet front load washer and it only fills with water to the bottom of the drum all I read says it should fill to the bottom of the door window, is the water pressure switch bad W10239066, can the water level be adjusted or should I order a new switch from you.
1 Answer Ralph, Unfortunately there is no adjustment to the water level on the unit. If it is not filling all the way then the pressure switch would be the most likely cause. Read More...
Beth September 18, 2014 for Model Number MOD# WFW9151YW00 SER# HL21103354 I have a Whirlpool Duet MOD# WFW9151YW00 SER# HL21103354, and this is my problem with it. When I wash it on any cycle, it would fill up as normal and start washing, then after a few seconds it would try to fill again making that water kick on and off. Until it fills up half way with water and I would get a LF error code. So, I did some research and understood that it could be my water sensor not reading the water pressure, Long Fill error, so I bought a new sensor MOD# W10239066 and replaced it. I did a batch of clothes and I still got the same thing, washer would fill half way with water and get the LF error code. So, again I did some more looking into my washer, and change out my cold water switch MOD# W10212596 thinking that it was getting stuck, but still having the same problem. I am hoping that you can help me with fixing my washer, that is only two years old, before I call someone or just break down and buy a new washer. I am hoping it's just a simple fix. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Beth. Check and make sure the pressure hose is good on the unit. If the pressure hose is good, you will need to order and replace the water level switch W11417623 if it is not reading the water level in the unit. Read More...
Tammy July 07, 2014 for Model Number MHWE201YW00 Keep getting the LF error code but only when using cold or warm water. When I use the hot only it's fine. Checked the hoses and they're clear. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Tammy. Make sure the cold water pressure is good from the hose. If so, you will need to order and replace the water valve WPW10212596 in the unit. Read More...
