Dont know the code but i would imagine it means the water has not emptied in the max time preprogrammed,either the drain is slow or blocked or drain pump is faulty

Take off the bottom cover and check the drain trap. If it is clogged, clean it and try again. Have plenty of towels ready when you unscrew the trap.

I have a Kenmore Elite Smartwash QuitPak9 washer. I keep getting error messages 02F and Sud or 5ud . Seems washer will not drain , Can get it to drain sometime , no clog

its a suds sensor error. meaning tom much or the wrong detergent was used and it has clogged the wash cycle, you will have to try to run rinse cycles over and over to u clean it out if u can, some machines have an auto clean cycle for this problem, it is difficult to deal with as I have the same issue with one of mine and still not running right

Kenmore smartwash quietpak HE4t does not complete cycle and flashes F then H continuously

From what you're describing it sounds like the cold water line is blocked or restricted or the inlet electro valve is defective.. Most rinse cycles are cold fills. Another possibility is the drain hose is air tight or too low creating a siphon condition

Bought in 2006 and quit working all together in 2007 then pulled it out today and the thing started working until the end of the wash cycle and wont come on at all again... it drained well but at the

Hello Kimberley,
It appears that a part of your question is cut off so i may be off base here but what i am reading is that your washer will go through the wash cycle and drain the wash water then just quit?? is that what is happeningIf yes that is whats going on i think what is happening is that after the wash cycle it fills with only COLD WATER for the rinse cycle and its not filling with the rinse water and just sits their until the rinse cycle water is filled and if its not getting cold water into the washer its not going to do anything If it is filling with cold water my apologies my bad for misinterpreting what the question reads and i ask ya to re-ask it.

Kenmore elite smartwash quiet pak 9 he4t the washer starts filing water when the washer is turned off.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
This is symptomatic of a malfunctioning water control valve- not closing fully- the hot water one, if the washer is hot and cold fill, and the cold one if it is just cold fill!
Sorry but it needs replacing and a service call ;-0(
Good luck,
John C

He4t kenmore elite smartwash quietpak9. keeps flashing F2?

"F02" is a Long Drain error. This is an indication that there's an obstruction somewhere in the drainage system. Most commonly, the drain pump reservoir needs to be checked and cleaned. The access screws are on the bottom front edge of the lower toe panel directly below the door. You may need to prop up the two front feet of the washer to access them (a 2x4 works well for this). The following link explains:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3574284-checking_the_drain_pump_on_a_front_loade

It does not take much to damage the pump impeller or motor. Since the error code is generated if the drain cycle exceeds 8 minutes, if the pump is damaged and can't pump at the required volume, the error code will continue to appear until the pump is replaced. If the pump requires replacement, the following link explains how:

Replacements can be purchased online at any of the following websites:

searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com

Prices vary between these sites, so shop and compare.

If you have any questions about this repair, or need additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.
