Whirlpool GHW9100L Front Load Washer Logo

Posted on May 27, 2017

I have a 9 year old front load washer Model # GHW9100LQ. It displayed F02 and I have cleaned the all hoses and the connection plus the filter. They were all very dirt even though we have been using high efficinecy detergent. This still didn't solve the problem and I still get the F02 code, the pump seems to be working .The pump got hot when the washer started to spin fast during the drain/spin cycle and the last minute of the cycle lasted over 10minutes and then the SUD code dispalyed.

SOURCE: Not spinning, and buzzing sound

F02 is the code for long drain. The first thing to do is check the pump filter. Remove the lower panel by removing the 3 torq screws, the panel will come off. Right in front will be the pump filter. Remove the cap and pull the filter out. Clean out any lint and/or debris. See that you have some low basin to collect water, or some towels when the filter is opened. Or take the rear drain tube from the wall drain and lower it to basin or bucket. (The drain pipe must be fitted back in the SAME position) The spin will not work when your filter or pump is blocked.

SOURCE: UL Code

Solved the unbalanced problem - open the top of the machine (press in with a flat putty knife about 3" in on the front on each side while lifting up as there are 2- 1" wide catches). Once both sides are unlatched, raise the lid then slightly lift the rear of the lid so that it fits into the curved part at the top of the hinges then open all the way - tape the lid to the top so it doesn't flap about and scotch the lid to keep it from falling back down on you. Now, look around - see all that rust?  The rust has fallen into and gotten underneath one or more of the 4 white plastic suspension "ball joints" which have probably totally dried out by now from their factory grease because of the water, bleach, and rust particles.  Having someone help you, simply lift up on one of the 4 corner suspension rods - gravity and weight is all that holds them down. The white ball will lift out of the socket and still be attached to the rod. Clean out the rust, lightly sand the "socket" with emery cloth, then slop in a fingerful of grease. I used automotive wheel bearing grease with graphite in it. Also scrub off all embedded rust on the white plastic ball. Lower that corner back into the newly cleaned and greased socket and repeat for the other 3 corners. Now when you move the tub around notice how the balls pivot in their sockets like they are supposed to. When they were dry and rusty they wouldn't move enough to allow the tub to twist like it should so it slammed around.  Now, shake your head in disgust that after only 2 years there is so much rust that you wonder if it will make it another year before falling apart, close the lid, and try another load.  That totally solved my off-balance problem where even a single handkerchief would give the UL error. It is still a finicky machine, but at least once again works like it did when new.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

F02 is a drain error in your Kenmore washer, if the unit is unable to drain then after 4 minutes it will display suds and then F02.

If the error returns then check the drain pump if it is not working then replacing the pump is recommended repair. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Display flashes F 2 at the 1:00 minute to finish time and stops and beeps.

F02 error means if the drain time has exceeded more than 8 minutes. After four minutes suds will be displayed on the screen and again after 4 minutes the F02 error code appears.


Check the drain line for any clogs or blocks which hinder the draining procedure..Use of more detergent can even cause this condition..Be sure you are using only 2 tablespoons of HE soap and not more than that.

Check your drain filter also and replace them if needed. Remove the 3 Torx head screws (located left, center, and right) from the front bottom kick panel of the washer. The drain/filter/pump is right in front.

I have a GHW9100LQ front loading Whirlpool Duet washer that is 7 years old. It has recently been displaying error code F02. Today water leaked onto my floor. I read the suggestions on cleaning the drain...

"F02" is a Long Drain error. If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes this error code will be displayed. In addition, a "SUDS" error may also be generated as a secondary error. This is an indication of a drain pump problem and/or clog in the drain line. You will need to check the following:

1. Check the drain hose to make sure it is not kinked or clogged.
2. Check the electrical connections to the pump and ensure the pump is running.
3. Remove the drain pump filter and check for foreign objects and/or debris.

To check the drain pump, click on the following link for step-by-step instructions.

If the above procedures do not correct the problem, it is recommended by the manufacturer to replace the drain pump

Washer has an F02 code in the middle of the cycle, which has stopped, and I don't have the manual.

F02 = Long Drain

If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are turned off and
"F/02" is flashed.

The most common cause is a clogged drain filter. Remove your lower front panel. The filter is located in the discharge hose before the pump (often white in color).
Remove the filter and clean out any debris (socks, nails, coins etc..)

If this is not the problem then here is directly fronm the manual.

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.

* Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked.
* Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the
pump is running.
* Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects.
* If the above does not correct the problem, replace the pump.
