Had a old green cleaner pad clogging the filter of the drain trap + pennies, rocks, srews and gunk! Had hard time to figure how to srew the trap back in place, you have to put the right part of the filter at the bottom and top, but finally did. No more error code! Thanks!

Thank you very much. I am on the board of a nonprofit children's emergency shelter, and when kids come in, the shelter employees have to wash everything they bring with them. So it is vital to have a reliable, washing machine, and a large one at that. The shelter was having this issue and I was able to fix their problem with a $17 part that I bought through Amazon. Money is very tight at some of these nonprofits, so you really helped us and we thank you very much!!

Thank you for the great video! My machine was completely locked out with F3 E1 code. We had already checked and cleaned the coin trap (it was clear, but gunky). Used your video to remove and clean the air dome (it was really gunky), and disconnected the pressure hose from the pressure switch and blew it out to check for leaks/debris (it was clear). But the real gold in your video was the revelation of the technician repair manual under the top lid - made everything SO MUCH EASIER! Ran the full diagnostic mode, cleared the codes, and ran the quick test diagnostic. Saved me at least $75 for a repair technician call, and no parts needed to repair. Just needed a little cleaning. Thank you so much!😉

I can’t recall ever seeing one of those switches go bad however I have seen the black hose gets smashed at the very top bracket from the heavy lateral movement It’s just as bad as having a restriction it gets flattened. Thank you for posting this too because I forgot how to clear codes on this model and someone removed the Bible ( tech sheet) smh😢

We had lo Flo error and replaced the water inlet valves. still had lo Flo but would finish after 2 cycles. So we replaced the pressure sensor now have the f3 e1 code and can't get it into diagnostic code. How can we reset the machine. ours model is WFW6620HC0

Thanks I have a stacked unit. Will the back come off while the dryer is on top?

If you have the dryer on top of that washer and it has a metal bracket connecting the washer and the dryer?I believe it still wouldn’t prevent you from taking the back panel off of the washer.

Hello and thank you for this! We have that same exact Whirlpool washer WFW75HEFW (new 2017) and it has that exact code (F3E1). I have cleaned out the pump trap and checked the hose and air dome as you did (didnt find any blockage). I have ordered a new Whirlpool water level sensor (W10448876) as I believe this is our issue. Must I go into the diagnostic mode and clear the code for the machine to operate correctly after I replace the sensor? Thanks Paul

Hi Paul, the control board should recognize that it doesn’t have any more issues. But in some instances, it may need assistance in clearing the codes and running it through diagnostic mode. Hope everything works out for you. Let me know the outcome.

Hi there, I got the same E1 F9 error code. I have emptied and cleaned out the drain filter- a dime, an old money clip and hair ties inside. Tried running the quick diagnostic and it stopped again at C7. Drained it again, this time popped off the pressure switch hose and black bladder and it was full of gunk. Cleaned it all out and re-attached. Ran a spin and drain cylcle with no code thrown, but the washer was empty.....Then I ran a normal load and it stopped at min 34 out of 43 and same code for Long Drain. Would you advise a new pressure switch and hose or should I just go for replacing the drain pump? I suppose I will look into ordering both parts since my manual doesn't really tell me how to decipher between the two possible problems..... Any Suggestions? Thanks for the great video!

The drain pump filter, trap is the part that screws into the drain pump. You have to remove the back panel to get access to it. It’s in the video with how to check the air dome at the Seventh and eight minute.

If you did the rest of the stuff that’s in the video like replace the pressure switch hose, clean out the pump trap, and that housing that the pressure hose goes into. Small chance, but it can also be the main control board.

We have a washer just like that it shows that code also but when you plug it in the drain motor runs and the door does not open any idea what it is?

I would unplug washer, take off top panel, manually unlock door lock. Door lock has a manual door release on top, plastic loop pull up. I believe the drain pump is continually on because control board senses problem and locks the door. I would go by the video if no clogs found . I would replace the pressure switch. Hope this helps.

@appliance638 ай бұрын
C0 is the first step in the diagnostic mode. The door lock supposed to lock, unlock and then lock again. then it should advance to C1 and so on as in the video. If the door is locked and will not unlock it has a manual unlock ring or pull string. Make sure the washer is unplugged.

@@appliance63 well this one I have sitting outside the damn pump stays on once you plug it in no lights showing Sept door lock which can be manually open by pulling the tab up inside. Will say the box for detergent that has two hoses running to it is really trash trying to take them off they break which follows to spend 150$ estimate by a repair man was giving me information on parts and money so why waste money for pump and detergent box just get another one. Plus you have senors to replace or motherboard, when you replace one thing others follow behind it.
