John G. March 04, 2022 for Model Number WFW9200SQA12 We are getting an f20 error code. We have cleaned out the bottom valve and whenever we have a heavy load we get this error code. Otherwise, it runs fine. Any suggestions on what part we should repair?
1 Answer Hello John, As per the tech sheet: NO WATER DETECTED ENTERING MACHINE OR PRESSURE SWITCH TRIP NOT DETECTED If, after 30 seconds during Diagnostic Test, less than 3.3 oz (0.1 L) of water has entered the machine, or if during a cycle, the maximum fill time of 13 minutes is exceeded, the valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display. Possible Causes/Procedure If there is no water in the unit: – Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way. – Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves. – Verify inlet valve operation. If there is water in the unit: – Verify that the pressure switch hose is in good condition and properly connected to the tub and pressure switch. 1. Unplug the washer or disconnect power. 2. Verify there is not a siphon problem. 3. Verify wire harness connections to inlet valves, pressure switch, and Central Control Unit (CCU). 4. Check all hoses for possible leaks. 5. Plug in the washer or reconnect power. 6. Verify pressure switch operation (run diagnostic test). 7. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic Test or any cycle. Details on the diagnostic test are included on the tech sheet found on the unit. This is normally located behind the lower kickplate of the machine in a plastic bag. Read More...
Pete Gelbowitz April 18, 2021 for Model Number WFW8400TW02 Is there a master reset procedure for my washer? Am having F20 error codes at random times and have been removing 110VAC power then re applying power and sometimes this will fix my problem The true reason for this question is that sometimes the wash is normal but when it goes into rinse cycle the tub fills with water just fine but the tub never agitates and it drains the rinse water out then spins clothes
1 Answer Pete G, Based on the information provided check the water valve for proper water pressure to and through the valve. The F20 refers to an error of no water into the machine or the pressure switch did not trip within 6 minutes. Read More...
Lyle September 11, 2020 for Model Number WFW9200SQA10 I have a whirlpool duet WFW9200SQA10 with a error code f20. I replaced the pressure switch and hose, cleaned out the drain on the bottom of washer and checked for clogged screens on the water valve. I noticed the washer was doing fine until it got to the rinse cycle then the f20 code came up. If the water came in fine for the first part could it still be the water valve?
Joe January 28, 2019 for Model Number WFW9200SQA10 I keep getting the code F20 once the washer is almost half ways with water. It seem like the inlet valve doesn't stop it keep feeding the washer too much water. I already check water pressure and the hose screen are clean and I also replaced the water pump and the water inlet flowmeter. Do you guys think replacing the inlet valve will fix my problem.
1 Answer Joe, You will want to test the pressure switch to make sure that i is good and check to make sure that the pressure hose is not cracked damaged or clogged. If these things are ok then the issue will be the control board. Read More...

Emmitt Gibson April 24, 2015 for Model Number mhwz600two1 Washer doesn't fill with water, shuts off. Is it my inlet vavle ?
1 Answer Emmitt, You will want to check to make sure that when the unit is calling for water that there is 120 vac to the water valve. If there is power then the water valve would need to be replaced. Read More...
Fred March 31, 2014 for Model Number WFW8400TW00 On this whirlpool Duet Sport ht, We had a drain problem. We replaced the drain pump, and now we cannot get cold water in any cycle or rinse. We have checked the water inlet valves and got a reading with the multimeter of 880 on the hot and cold water valves. We have checked the hoses and there are no blockages or buildups. There are no error codes for water temp issues or anything like that. We did get an F30 before we changed the pump. Any suggestions? I even tried turning the hot water off in the house, but the internal heater must have heated it cuz it still was very hot! Do you think the valves could still need replaces or the temperature sensor could be causing the problem or is it the ccu? Please help. We are losing it!
1 Answer Hello Fred. Check the wiring harness and make sure it was not damaged. If not, then test for power to the cold water valve. If there is power there, and no cold water, replace the valve. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
