Rick May 07, 2015 for Model Number WFW9200SQ00 F20 shows, after checking and cleaning screens ,blowing out hoses ,and checking water pressure F20 comes on in every dial function. I checked the OHM reading on each solenoid , one was 809 the other was 814 , is the problem the inlet valve or the flowmeter ?
1 Answer Hello Rick, The more common part to fail on this design is the flowmeter WPW10110225. Read More...
Rick March 17, 2015 for Model Number GHW9300PW4 My washer continues to leak water from the dispenser opening located at the 10 Oclock position on the door seal. Im thinking that I need to replace the water inlet valve and that should solve my problem. Is this a correct diagnosis?
1 Answer Rick, Yes, It's a good diagnoses. The water valve WP8182862 isn't sealing tightly when off, water drips through the valve and fill spout, through the dispenser, out the bottom and into the tub. Read More...
Eric March 14, 2015 for Model Number WFW9200SQ02 My washer doesn't drain all the time. Replaced the pump recently, but still happens intermittently. Also seeing "SUDS" error. Could the water inlet valve be causing the not draining and the SUDS code? What else could be causing the non-draining? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Eric, As per the manufacturer: Possible Causes/Procedure ¦ If too much detergent was used: 1. Run through a RINSE/SPIN cycle. 2. Run a NORMAL cycle without adding any detergent. ¦ This should clear the unit of the excess detergent. 1. Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked. 2. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 3. Check wire harness connections to the drain pump, pressure switch, and Central Control Unit (CCU). 4. Check/clean drain pump filter of foreign objects. 5. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 6. Check drain pump. 7. Check the pressure switch. 8. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic Test or any cycle. Read More...
Tu January 12, 2015 for Model Number WFW9400SU01 F20 was on the screen. I removed 2 hoses at the inlet valves and cleaned the filters. After turning on the washer, F20 is gone but water keeps running (without stopping). After unplugging the washer, the water continues to run. I close the hot water, the water stops running. Has the inlet valve on the hot line stopped working and in need of replacement? I closed the hot water line and use washer for cold wash only. However, the washer runs for about 20 minutes and then stops with F20 error code.

Enrique J. December 04, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore Elite Washer model #11047089600 Hi. Will this whirlpool 8182862 water valve fits my washer Kenmore Elite Washer model #11047089600? Thank you.
Woody B October 08, 2014 for Model Number 11049972600 Our washer keeps displaying F20 code. I replaced the flow meter and blew through the tube from the pressure switch. That solved the F20 problem for a month, but now it's back. I ran the diagnostic: at C03, it fills with hot water, but almost looks like there's too much hot water. Then the diagnostic shuts down. Hoses are clear, as are the screens. No siphoning issues. Do I need another flow meter, a pressure switch, or inlet valve?
1 Answer Woody, You can test the flow meter by blowing through it and testing for resistance. The issue does sound like the flow meter would be the issue with the unit causing it to over fill. Read More...
Andrew July 19, 2014 for Model Number GHW9150PW4 - Whirlpool Duet Washer My washer has standing water in the dispenser tray, mostly in the softener and bleach compartments, after each cycle. There's no error code, and the washer functions fine. But the standing water stinks and over time will mildew, which means regular cleanings and more maintenance that I'd like. Any idea what would cause this issue?
1 Answer Andrew, This is considered normal by the manufacturer because the unit operates by using a siphoning of the dispenser tray. The only thing that you can do is empty the dispenser tray after each wash and dry thoroughly. Read More...
Jim G June 17, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool Duet Front Loading Washer GHW9150PW4 Fabric softener is drawn into washer immediately on initial fill. What is most likely source of problem?
1 Answer Jim, Either the ports in the top of the dispenser housing are bad or the diverter motor on the dispenser is not moving fully to the correct position which would cause both the fabric softener and detergent to dispense at the same time. Read More...
Randy C. January 28, 2014 for Model Number WFW9400SZ02 Getting F20 error code. Unit been working fine for 4 years so hoses, siphoning, etc. all good. Cleaned out drain hose, pump, etc., checked flowmeter orientation, checked pressure switch hose, all good. In running diagnostic test, it stalls at C03. I'm suspecting a bad water valve for the hot side. During diagnostic test, it stalls at C03 and after 2-3 minutes the unit shuts down. Do you think its the water valve?
1 Answer Randy, Based on your information, Yes, you'll probably need the fill valve WP8182862. Of course you want to remove the fill hoses and check and flush both the water lines/faucets. Then check and clean any sediment or debris from the fill hose screened washers and the inlet valve screens. Replace the valve if all's OK. The F20 code could also be produced by a faulty pressure switch circuit or clogged air tube, but you've covered that, and it does sound like a lack of hot water at the fill valve is the issue.
