Darlene October 08, 2013 for Model Number wfw9150ww01 how do I check for and open clogged drain pump?
1 Answer Darlene, You'll need to remove the lower access panel from the front of the washer, and unplug the power cord. Then you can turn the drain pump filter/cap counterclockwise and remove the cap and filter to check for clogs and clean out any debris that has accumulated inside the pump. You'll need a container, or some rags or towels to collect the water that will spill out from the pump. Read More...
Rob September 29, 2013 for Model Number 11045981400 Sears Kenmore h4t I was getting a sud and f02 message and the washer wasn't draining. Checked the drain and found a paperclip, some coins and a section of underwire from a bra. The washer was fine for a few loads but again the signals appeared. The machine was unplugged and allowed to reset and the drain cycle selected when plugged in to the outlet. Nothing happened but there is a low humming sound coming from the machine.
1 Answer Rob, Even though you already removed some stuff from the drain pump, you will want to double check it as something else may be clogged in it. If not then most likely the drain pump is bad. Read More...
Wayne20657 September 23, 2013 for Model Number GHW9100LW1 I have a whirlpool duet front loader, model number GHW9100LW1, all day yesterday I had the flashing F code and I hear a clicking sound, and there was still water in the in tube, just would not drain. Does that mean its the pump THANKS WAYNE20657
1 Answer Wayne20657, If the water is not draining from the unit, you will want to access the drain pump and check it for clogs. A clogged drain pump would cause the issue. You will also want to check to make sure that the pump is getting proper power when the unit goes to drain cycle. Read More...
Pk September 12, 2013 for Model Number wfw9400sw Whirlpool Duet Front Loading Washer Water in the machine even with inlets shut off and washer unplugged Drain Rise spin removes it but fills back in. Sometimes, no problem with water spigots on and power on. No error codes. It's puzzling. We tried the suggestions made by one of your support persons. We run the machine with loads and it works fine. We want to solve this water seepage back into the drum so that it doesn't overflow. Thanks for any suggestions.
1 Answer PK, If you have the unit in the off position and unplugged but the water supply still turned on and there is water running into the unit then the water valve is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...

Ray S July 19, 2013 for Model Number GHW9200LW OCASIONAL WATER WILL COME HALF WAY UP THE DOOR ON OUR FRONT LOAD WASHER--WE turn to rinse and spin and the water will drain out would this be the pump or is the problem else ware--we run about 20 loads a week and it happens about twice
1 Answer Ray, It's not likely a drain pump issue, not without other issues. It is more likely , that there is sediment, debris or maybe a twist or kink in the air dome hose WPW10004260 or drain pump connection, causing the air in the tube to affect the water fill level. You may want to disconnect the air hose from the water level switch WPW10514214 check the hose for twists or kinks, and blow in the end of the hose to clear any blockage. Remove the drain pump filter/cap and clear any debris in the drain pump chamber. Read More...
Jason July 09, 2013 for Model Number WFW9750WW01 Tonight my washer stopped during its cycle and locked the door. After a few minutes, it unlocked and I tried to restart it. It ran for a second and displayed the SUD code. I took everything out and tried to run an empty cycle, but it still wouldn't work. I took the drain filter cover off and a lot of water drained out. I put a few of the clothes back in and tried to run a rinse and spin, but it locked up again. I opened the cover again and a lot of water came out again. The pump motor was very hot to the touch. Does it sound like I need the pump replaced and if so, is pump 8182819? Thank you
1 Answer Jason, If the pump is clear but not draining the water and getting SUDs error code and the pump is hot then you will want to check to make sure that the pressure hose is not clogged and check to make sure that the impeller and teeth on the impeller are not damaged. If damaged then you would need to replace the pump 280187. Read More...
