Whirlpool duet washer problem

No matter which cycle i choose, heavy duty, normal, it will stop several minutes later with an error code F H My duet front loader will start the wash cycle. After a few minutes it starts with a beep then F then beep then H and continues this code. I'll press the cancel button once then the start and it will start filling with water. Again I get the beep F beep H code. I again repeat what I do then it will again give me the code and start draining. Once in a while whenever it feels like it I might get 1 or 2 loads completly done. It is so aggravating never knowing when it might work. Any ideas of what I might try to solve this problem?

The following link explains the "FH" error code:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r615354-fh_error_code_whirlpool_duet_kenmore

First, try to unplug the washer for AT LEAST 30 minutes in an attempt to reset the Central Control Unit (CCU). Sometimes this is all that is required to correct momentary glitches with the unit. If the error code reappears, then proceed with the steps outlined in the link I provided for you.

This is one of the more "involved" error codes that you may need spend some time with. Although, it may NOT be a difficult repair, it still may require some diligence to figure out the cause. I would recommend checking your washer installation for a potential siphoning problem and then check the drain pump as these are the more common causes. If you require additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: Whirlpool duet washer problem

Our machine was giving the HF code at 37 min after over filling with water. I unplugged the machine, popped the top (took the 3 torx screws off the back) pulled the small hose off the pressure switch sensor (round sensor on the upper back right of the machine) and blew it out just by mouth. It obviously cleared some junk. It works fine now. (also unplugged the 6 wires on the sensor, turned it around and blew on that and heard it clicking, so I knew that was ok.) Hope this helps someone.

Whirlpool Duet Mdl GHW9150PWO Washer stops

HI. this code represents a Long Drain issue.

If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are turned off and F02 is flashed.

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.

NOTE: After 4 minutes the “Sud” error will be displayed, then 4 minutes later the F02 error code will be displayed.

Potential Causes

• 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

Whirlpool Duet 9100 starts cycle then stops & wont drain

F2 code is a drain issue. If you are not using he detergent you can cause slow draining and then you will get the code. Try using less detergent. Also, try disconnecting the power to the washer to reset controls.
