displays due to washer over-sudsing or due to washer not filling with
Hot
water.
Causes for washer over-sudsing
:
Not using High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Too much detergent was added.
Using too much 2X or 3X HE detergent
Solutions for over-sudsing
:
Always use HE detergent in an HE washer. It is formulated to be a low-sudsing detergent and made especially for HE washers.
Be sure to use the correct amount of detergent. HE washers require only a small amount of detergent.
Note
: This amount may need to be adjusted for water hardness, load size, and soil level.
If using a 2X or 3X concentrated HE detergent, much less detergent is needed. If suds are seen, reduce the amount used.
If using a water softener, less detergent.
Solutions for Hot water not entering the machine are
:
Make sure both Hot to Cold water hoses are connected properly at the faucets and at the washer.
Fill hoses are usually color coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Verify that the hot water inlet hose is connected to the hot water faucet.
Verify that the cold water inlet hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
Verify that the hot water inlet hose is connected to the back of the washer into the hot water inlet port.
The inlet port is usually labeled with (H) or (HOT).
Verify that the cold water inlet hose is connected to the back of the washer into the cold water inlet port. This inlet port is usually labeled with (C) or(COLD).
hope this was some help,all the best.
Chris an F-20 is usually a clogged filter on duet washers. Did you go by the tech sheet in your machine? It gives the codes and remedys and is in a jacket behind the kickplate which you remove to get to the filter. You will need a quarter inch nutdriver to gain access. SERVICE MANUAL is HERE on my manual page
"F20" on display (Water Inlet Problem-no water or insufficient water supply) Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle Unplug washer or disconnect power. Check the following: Are water faucets completely turned on? Are screens at inlet hose connection to washer clogged? Are water inlet hoses kinked? Are water inlet hoses frozen?
Hi Error F20 means Water Inlet Problem-no water or insufficient water supply. This issue can appear due to faulty inlet valves or due to blocked inlet hoses. Also check the filter screen at inlet valve, clean them if they are dirty. Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle. Unplug the washer or disconnect the power. Now check whether water faucets completely turned on? Make sure that the water inlet hoses are not frozen. If above things seems to be fine then you would need to replace the water inlet/fill valve. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information. Daniel

LF Error code: LF stands for long fill and occurs when the water level does not change for a period of time after the valves are turned on.
All washers are designed to operate with a water supply pressure of 20-100 PSI. When the pressure drops below 20 PSI the washer can have the following problems:
* Slow Fill- low water pressure reduces the speed at which water flows into the machine. o Verify the pressure at all other water sources in the house (i.e. sinks, showers, etc..). If you find other places where the pressure is low, the problem is not with the machine but with the water supply. * Continuous Fill- The valve may not fully seat under 20 PSI which would allow for a constant flow even when the machine is not supposed to be filling. o Contact the water company to verify the pressure being supplied to the house. * dispenser- Needs a minimum amount of pressure to function. May dispense constantly, at the wrong time, or not at all. o A plumber may need to be consulted if the pressure is found to be too low.
Things you can check :
* Are the Hot and Cold water faucets turned on * Are the water hoses kinked o Make sure all the hose are straight and able to flow water * Are the screen inside the water valve plugged o Inlet valve should be free of debris and rust. o Turn off water and remove the inlet hoses from washer. o Remove any accumulated film or particles. o Assure rubber washers are in the end of each inlet hose. o Reinstall hoses, turn on water and check for leaks.
Error codes can be caused by a Power Surge or other electrical anomaly,attempt to return the washer to operation by following the Hard Reset procedure below.
1. Unplug or turn the circuit breaker off for 30 seconds. 2. Reconnect the unit to the power source by turning the breaker back on or plugging the unit back into the wall outlet. 3. Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the display. 4. Start a short cycle to check the operation of the machine by selecting a cycle and pressing and holding the start button until the machine starts

Plug in washer or reconnect power. Re select cycle and press START. if the problem remains, call for service.
This error code indicates a water supply problem. Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?
Turn on the water. Check the household faucets to see if the hot and cold water faucets are turned on. Completely open both faucets for proper fill. NOTE: Both hot and cold water must be connected to the washer and turned on; the washer will not properly operate with only one incoming source of water. Are the water inlet hoses kinked?
Straighten the water inlet hoses. Are the water inlet valve screens on the washer clogged?
You probably have this solved by now but for others who read this as I did.............
