Not enough water - Frigidaire FTF2140E 3.5 Cu. Ft. Front Loading Washer

It might be clogged somewhere. A lot of the machines brought in to my shop for repairs actually were not squirting out enough water to have enough to suck up. It was only enough to get the carpet damp making the owner think it wasn't sucking up water. Make sure it is putting out enough water.

First make sure it's putting out enough water. There can be enough water coming out to get the carpet wet but not enough that it picks up much water. This is most often the problem to most machines brought in for repairs. If it's putting out enough water and can't pick it up there has to be something restricting the suction. It could be a clog or something is allowing air to leak restricting suction. Inspect the areas where the suction comes from the machine, through the dirty water tank all the way down to the floor nozzle.

Yes and dehydration which leads to all sorts of problems.....all which are very serious.

E:01 means that the water isn't entering the dishasher fast enough or you don't have water flow.So check first if the pressure of the water is enough strong and then if your water valve works correctly.If you have enough skills to electricity then see the following video.

Your fill float may be stuck preventing enough water from getting inside. Take a look at this video and it may help you resolve the issue:

The water level is controlled by a pressure switch connected to a long rubber hose that goes inside the tub. If the switch is defective or if the pressure hose is blocked the machine may under-fill.

Check also inlet hose and water pressure from the house.

take the uper cover fo the toilet. check for the chain, that chain goes to the balon with air that usualy goes up when water is filling in and stop the water.

so, check for that chain to be long enough (it can be regulated ussually). the problem relies that id the chain is too short the reservoir or tank of water cannot fill up to a 100% to siphoning fast enough.

you may need to clean out your hot water heater depending on how old it is and yes 80 gal should be more than big enough adj. thermostat to the next level

the only way you can tell if the upper rack is not getting enough water is to turn a glass right side up in each corner. then run for 2 minutes and see if there is water in each cup.
if you still dont get water, then you have checked the pump, the only thing left is that you are not getting enough water into the unit.
start the d/w at a normal cycle, let it fill and go into the wash cycle, takes about 3 minutes, then check to see if the water level is just below the heating element. if so then it has to be the wash pump being plugged.
if not enough water then you should change the water inlet valve. some times they do get plugged but also make sure you are getting full water pressure to the unit as that could cause not enough water into unit. the faucet under sink could be at fault i have seen valve work but not let enough water in, so dont be surprised if you need a new valve.

run the machine empty. if the water comes to the bottom of the glass window, you're fine. No you don't need to see the soap suds either, too musch soap will cause the machine not to function properly and won't spin out all the water
