Whirlpool Duet washer, during the wash cycle, get H F error code

The problem turns out to be a small hole on the rubber hose connecting to the water pressure switch. The hole which is about 18" down from the pressure switch, was caused by the hose rubbing against the drum (must be a pretty common problem). The problem can be fixed in three ways: first open the top of the washer by removing three screws on the back and then slide the top backward to remove.
1. Cut the hose where you find the hole, reconnect the two pieces with a small tubing of the appropriate diameter. You need to be creative to find the right tubing. Tie a string to the bottom part of the hose before cutting it or else you will have a hard time later if it drops down to the floor.
2. Using a 4" long shrinkable tubing that can be slide into the rubber hose. Remove the hose from the pressure switch, slide the shrinkable tubing over the hole, heat the tubing with a heat gun and keep on rotating the hose. Reconnect the hose to the switch.
3. Replace the rubber hose with a new one. I think you can get a replacement vacuum hose from any auto part store instead of waiting to order a new part.

Oh one more thing, reroute the rubber hose behind the the white drain hose and tie it down to avoid repeated problem in the future.

Thanks so much!! After many tries of running diagnostics, we could not pinpoint the problem. I knew it was something simple, we checked and the siphen hose was rubbed out. My husband replaced it with a hose from his fishing aerator for live bait. Who would have thought?! After a week, our machine is as good as new! THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!! Thanks so much!!
