Ken October 26, 2021 for Model Number MHN30PDBWW0 Hi Guys, A follow up on my F20 code problem. I tried the procedure with the quick wash button, but could not get it to clear. I rechecked the fill switch hose but there is no obstruction or any water left in the pump. Is there anything else that could cause that or am I dealing with a faulty control ? Thanks for the help, Ken
1 Answer Ken, this could potentially be a failed pressure switch W11417620, broken wire, or failed main control WPW10311189 (part has been discontinued by the manufacturer). The pressure switch can be tested for continuity from pin 21 to pin 24 then pin 21 to pin 22 while gently blowing into the pressure switch. There should be continuity. If there is, and there is not a broken wire, the main control has failed. Read More...
Ken October 25, 2021 for Model Number MHN30PDBWW0 Coin op washer, threw F20 code and water leaking into tub when not in use. I changed the valves but can't seem to get rid of the code. Is there a reset on this control other than just unplugging it? I can't find a tech sheet in there anywhere. Thanks, Ken
1 Answer Ken, with the door open, press and hold the quick cycle button for a minimum of 2 seconds and this should clear the error code. Read More...
Michelle March 14, 2021 for Model Number MHWE251YL00 Once the wash is complete and I takeout the clothes water accumulates shortly after. I have tried closing the hot water valve and it doesn't happen. Does this model have 2 inlet valves (combo) ? Do they come together to change them both? Any suggestions on fixing the problem. I only found the cold water inlet but I believe its the hot water since this is where the problem occurs. Thank You
1 Answer Michelle, the hot water valve WPW10212598 is going to be separate from the cold water valve. As shutting the hot water supply valve off will stop water from accumulating, the hot water valve has certainly failed and it would need to be replaced. Read More...
Robert Porter November 21, 2020 for Model Number WFW9150WW00 when washing clothes the wife put bleach in draw and it fill with water and bleach stay in draw. i change the seal around door, it leaks water in bottom f washer, not all the time. i put a new seal around door and every once and awhile water leaks not much water. could this be a problem with the dispenser drawer.
1 Answer Robert, It would be suggested to check all the hoses to ensure that they are not damaged or leaking. Check the water valve and the dispenser housing to ensure it is not leaking. A leak of one of the hoses is the most likely cause for water under the washer. Read More...
Jana May 12, 2020 for Model Number NFW7300WW00 Washer is off but water slowly fills the inner drum. Would this be the Water inlet valve issue?
1 Answer Jana, Yes, this does indicate that your inlet valve is not closing off. This machine has two valves a double WPW10212596 and a single valve WPW10212598 Read More...
Susanne January 14, 2020 for Model Number WFW9151YW00 How to clean screens? Two years ago I used your wonderful website to figure out what was wrong with my Whirlpool Duet washer and successfully replaced the cold water inlet valve. Now it is giving an LF code and cold water filling slowly, so it looks like a cold water valve problem again. This seems a bit soon for the valve to need replacing as I'm not running a lot of washes and our water isn't hard. So I wanted to check for dirt or debris before replacing the valve, in case I can fix it or figure out a way to make it last longer next time. A couple of Q&As mention cleaning screens. The hose has no screen either end. Can I buy one to add? And is there a way to clean/check screens on/in the valve itself? Many thanks for your advice
1 Answer Suzanne, the screens can be checked by turning the water supply valves off, removing the supply hoses and inspecting the valve entrance where the screens are located. A toothbrush can be used to clean the screens as best as possible, but if they are too congested then they would need to be replaced. Hose filter screens 285452A are available to add to the supply hoses. Read More...
Rik D. December 13, 2017 for Model Number Wfw9151 I am replacing the Inlet double valve (part #w10212596). The two wire 'plugs' that plug into the valve. The wires have pulled out of one of those plugs. I noticed the 'plug' is slightly broken, but looks usable. Is a new plug available to purchase and do the wires just push back into that plug or am I going to have to replace entire wiring harness? Thank you.
1 Answer Rik, Unfortunately the plug is not available as a separate part and is only available with the harness. Read More...
James June 26, 2017 for Model Number NFW7300WW00 When we push the start button the door locks and does nothing. Can't open the door. Have to manually undo the door from the bottom. It all started when we came down to see if the clothes were done that all the clothes were soaked. Did not finish the cycle. No water left. Then when we tried to restart just got blinking and 3 beeps but nothing would start. We saw that the detergent was gone but the softener material was still left. We unplugged it for over 15 minutes and tried to start it again, this time the door locked and would not open. Someone mentioned it may be a water inlet valve. Any ideas.
1 Answer James, While the water valve could be the issue with the unit, this would most likely be caused by a faulty door lock assembly. If the control board is not seeing the door as being locked it will not allow the unit to operate. Read More...
Joe March 04, 2017 for Model Number Amana front load washer #NFW7300ww The cold water dont stop running unless I turn the water off
1 Answer Joe, Have the unit on and the water on and unplug the unit to see if the water stops. If it does then the control will be the issue. If it continues to run the valve is defective and would need replaced. Read More...
Christine November 19, 2016 for Model Number WFW9151YW00 There are two parts listed on your websiste under the inlet valve for my Whirlpool Duet HE washer. I don't know which one to order. The error code is LF and the machine won't fill up to continue the washer load.
1 Answer Christine, There is a single inlet valve which would be for the hot water supply, if the hot water is working then the double valve for cold water supply is what would be needed. The hot water valve is WPW10212598 and the cold water supply is WPW10212596. Read More...
