Controls locked
The Control Lock prevents unintended use of the washer. You can also use the control lock feature to prevent unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle. When CONTROL LOCKED is lit, all buttons are disabled except for Pause/Cancel and Start.
You can lock the controls while the washer is operating.
To lock the controls:
Select and hold DRAIN & SPIN for 3 seconds. The CONTROL LOCKED status light glows.
To unlock the controls:
Select and hold DRAIN & SPIN for 3 seconds or until the CONTROL LOCKED Status light turns off.

Hi,does the whirlpool awm 9000
I am not aware of any washers that have built in heaters. Your problem seems to be with your hot water supply in the house. If you have a hot water heater gas or propane pilot may be out, or electric possibly tripped curciut breaker, or if furnace coil , possible furnace servicing is required. Did you just have new machine installed? Did installer forget to turn on the hot water? Basically before you get to upset go backwards from the machine to the problem. It will turn out to be an oversight due to the excitement with your new machine. Enjoy, and GOOD LUCK.

I am getting a F20
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Whirlpool's 'F16, 18, 20, 21 and 22' all refer to 'control unit failure I'm afraid. Sounds like a service call is required, sorry ;-0(
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

What does F 21 mean
The
F21 error code indicates a long drain time on this type of washer. The
door will not unlock if the washer control detects that water is still
in the tub. To manually unlock the washer door, take these steps:
- Unplug the washer to completely disconnect electrical power.
- Remove the bottom front service panel as shown in the first image below.
- Carefully reach up through the bottom opening and pull the release
tab on the bottom of the door lock assembly until it clicks.
NOTE:
Internal metal edges in the washer can be sharp. Protective gloves are
recommended for this procedure.
By pulling the manual release tab on the door lock assembly, you should be able to get the washer door open.
After
opening the door and removing the clothes, I recommend emptying any
remaining water in the tub with a wet/dry vacuum (or bail it out). Since
you already have the bottom front service panel off and the washer
unplugged, you can arrange shallow pans and towels to catch any
remaining water and pull the large item filter out of the drain pump
assembly as shown in the second image below. You may find a clog in this
area that is preventing your washer from draining properly. Clear any
clog or debris from this area and reassemble the washer. Check your
drain hose for a kink or clog. Check the washer house drain for a clog
or restriction. Test the washer to see if it will drain properly.
Other issues that can cause this problem include:
- Not using HE (High Efficiency) detergent
- Using too much regular or HE detergent
These
issues can cause oversudsing in the washer. The drain pump will not
able to pump out suds. Make sure that you are only using the appropriate
amount of HE detergent in the washer. If you have a water softener, you
may need as little as a tablespoon of HE detergent.
If you need
more help, resubmit your question with additional details and the full
model number of your HE2 washer or check other tips in THIS LINK.
Hope helps (remember to rate and coomment this free answer)..

The washe is flashing F-21.
Hello &
Welcome to FixYa
F21 error is displayed when the washer is unable
to drain, press PAUSE/CANCEL button twice to clear the display. After this
please check the drain hose and drain pump filter for any blockages and make
sure it is not clogged with foreign particles. You can also check the drain
pump to verify that its working. Please get back to me if you have any other
questions.

Whirlpool AWM9000 front loader
Gives SUD
Hi,
it is a Long Drain error
If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are turned
off and "F/02" is flashed.
NOTE: After 4 minutes the "Sud" error will be displayed,
then 4 minutes later the F02 error code will be displayed.
Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.
- 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.
Thank You

Can you tell where is
You have to tip the machine backwards and let it lean on wall.#
Then you can remove the lower panel on front which is fixed using 3 torx 15 (T15) screws.
Take off panel and you can see the filter assembly facing you. Simply unscrew it.
Do though take care to clean all calcium off all the seals before putting it back to avoid any leaks.

Whirlpool duet washer showed F22.Now door is locked and wont run
You will have to remove the bottom panel to reach up inside on the right front to reach the door switch. There is a plastic handle or lever you can pull down to unlock the door. Some of these are thru the top but the lower section is a lot easier. The door switch has gone bad and this will need to be replaced. You can order right thru sears or any appliance repair shop or parts dealer. Make sure you give them total model number off machine. Good luck and hope this helps. Not an expensive repair if you are able to do yourself.

The
filter on your pump is probably clogged with lint and stuff. You have to remove
the bottom front panel, 3 torx screws underneath. The panel will drop and come off. Drain off the excess water from the drain
pipe you see. The white filter cover is right in front. Get yourself a good
plastic bag to collect water. Unscrew the filter cover and twist the filter
out. Clean out all the stuff and put it back in carefully. Check your pump too, comes after the filter.
On
some models the filter is located ‘inside’ the big hose from the bottom of the
tub. This takes more time to clean.
