For those that have cheked and found that it was not a hole in the line and replaced the pressure switch - which i did - my solution was removing the black bladder and checking for any obstuctions for the float ball to work properly - surprise i found stuff - removed it and now it works - so please for 10 min more try that
Its messed up! As soon as the warranty goes out so does it. I will never buy another whirlpool product. This has been nothing but constant with whirlpool. Nothing is wrong with it except it ran out of warranty. Cheaper to just buy a new one than waste time trying to fix it.
I too had the same problem and what I found (besides poor workmanship in the design of this washer) is that the pressure switch hose had rubbed the drum and there was a hole in it - leaking water, which I hadn't noticed until I sat there and kept re-running washer til a puddle had shown up below. They wire tied the top of the hose to the drum but at the bottom of the hose there were no wire ties and so the foam padding that was wrapped around just kept rubbing until it ripped and then left the hose exposed to the drum. They should have never tied the hose to the drum and should have attached the hose to the right cover. I will be modifying their design as soon as my new hose arrives.
SOURCE: Error Code F8E1 on Whirlpool Duet
I have the Whirlpool Duet washer and got the F8E1 error code. I had the mother board replaced less than a year ago so there was no way I was going to have another service call.
During the spin cycle, my washer got forced out from the wall due to the load getting unbalanced.
The washer would fill with water at the start of the cycle but would not STOP filling so then the error code would start beeping thus shutting the machine down. I thought it was the fill valve, but it wasn't.
I took off the top lid and on the right hand side is a little 'fuse' type plug which connects to the hoses and it had come loose and was unplugged from it's connector. I plugged it back in and presto! Everything works. The jarring of the machine away from the wall had loosened it over time I guess and the violent spinning cycle today finally dislodged it.

Sud= The unit has sensed there is too many suds in the unit it will
flush and pump out for 5 min and restart on its own..This is caused by
too much soap use..
From the book :
SUD Code=
If too much detergent was used:
—Run the unit through a Rinse/Spin cycle.
—Run a Normal cycle without adding any detergent.
This should clear the unit of the excess detergent.

SOURCE: Rotting Smell from Whirlpool Duet Front Loading Washer
Take the panel off of the front of your washer below the door and in the middle there is a round removable plastic door like piece. Take it out and clean out all of the junk in behind it. You might find loose change, nails and a variety of other thnigs that have become stuck in there besides mold. This will help with the smell and also the water that sometimes remains in your washer after the cycle is over. You need to do this once/twice year.
