20 Most Recent Whirlpool Duet Sport HT WFW8400TE Washer - Page 4 Questions & Answers

are you sure the water is turned on. Also sometimes the filter in the hose can get blocked and cause it not to go. Make sure the water can come out the hose. After that there is a solenoid which opens and closes the water valve. that would be my next guess

There is a drain hole in the boot/seal, make sure it is not clogged with lint.

check the pump filter it could be blocked or the drain hose try blowing down the drain hose to see if its clear you should hear a bubbling sound if not its blocked

did you check the drain for the tub?

Hi.

The access to the drain filter is in front at the bottom, behind the kick panel:

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Methinks you could do with a manual for your washer- for now and probably later!

Unfortunately FixYa cannot provide that direct - members of the forum are just people from all over the world, probably working from home, and not representing any particular manufacturer ;-0)
???
Manual
You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make model number) washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount.
You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct ;-0)

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Hi

F24 is a water temperature sensor error. You have to unplug the washer and check the water temperature sensor and its connections, if that is fine then check the resistance of the heating element and the part that is bad should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

F21 means to a long drain.
Basically means that water is not pumping out quick enough. If all the drain lines have been checked for blockages and restrictions the manufacturer recommends the pump is replaced. Some times the impeller can become damaged or the motor which can cause the pump to work slower then it should causing this error code. If you took off the hose from the tub to the pump and found nothing then I doubt there is a blockage in the drum (it would have moved into the drain filter).

Sd or 5d error SUDS LOCK (OVERDOSE OF DETERGENT DETECTED DURING THE WASH CYCLE)
If suds are detected continuously by the pressure switch during the drain or spin phases, the washer will fill 4 liters of water and during 5 minutes the unit will rest without tumbling, the water will be drained and it will try to spin or drain again.

If too much detergent was used:
- Run the unit through a RINSE/SPIN cycle.
- 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.

Hope this helps.

Hold down the end of cycle button 3 secs or until the control lock status light turns off If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

F35 error means that there is some sort of issue with the steamer electronic board and analog pressure sensor has gone bad. Check that the hose is firmly attached with the washer and is not blocked. You can also check the water level pressure switch operation. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Hello, welcome to fixya.

Based on your post I understand you have a "F21" error problem with a Whirlpool washer, the error means an excessive drain time or excessive suds was detected as you may or may not already know. This is also the reason it won't unlock.

If you follow the link to my solution to this error designed specifically for "do-it-yourselfers" you should be fixed up in no time. (It's much quicker for me than pasting or retyping the complete solution several hundred times, that's how common this is)

Hi, F-28 means SERIAL COMMUNICATION ERROR
The communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent correctly.

Possible Causes/Procedure

Unplug washer or disconnect power,check wire harness connections to the MCU, the motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU). Check connections of the CCU board within the housing.
Make sure all grounding switches are engaged.
Check the drive system for any worn or failed components.
Plug in washer or reconnect power.
Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic Test or any cycle.
Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor.
Check the drive motor for powered rotations.
Check that the serial harness at the MCU is not mounted upside down. The wires should be to the left when facing the MCU connectors. there is usually a service diagnostic tech sheet in the bottom front of the cabinet behind the panel under the door.
