Kenmore HE3T Washer Logo

My Kenmore HE3T was filling up with water even when it was off and eventually led to a flood. After researching the problem, I replaced the inlet valve and the problem was solved. Oh happy days, right? No! I ran a cycle and then all of a sudden I received an FH code. I know it can't be the inlet valve, so it has to be either the flow meter or the pressure switch or tube. Does anyone know how I can check to see which one is bad, so I don't buy the wrong part?

You reversed the fill hoses, switch the fill hoses you probably have hot to cold and vise versa.

SOURCE: HE3t has an FH error

Hi,

Thank you for contacting fixya.com.

FH error code means low water inflow. In this error washer is not filling when the fill valve opens.
To clear the error please follow the bellow instructions:-
Press the "Stop" button twice with your finger. This cancels the cycle and stops the washer. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.Turn the water shut off valves clockwise to stop the water flow to the washer through the supply hoses. Pull the washer away from the wall enough that you can access the hose connections at the back of the washer.

Set a bucket under the area of the hose connections. Unscrew the hose connections from the back of the washer. If necessary, use a pair of slip joint pliers to help start the connections turning until you can turn them by hand. Set the ends of the hoses inside the bucket.Inspect the screens on the inlet ports on the back of the washer where the hoses connect. Sediment and other debris can block these screens, causing fill problems. Clean the screen with an old toothbrush.

Thread the hoses back onto the washer. Look for kinks in the hoses. Kinks cut off water supply to the washer which causes the FH error code. Once you connect the hoses, turn the water supply valves counter-clockwise to supply water to the washer. Move the bucket away from the washer and push the washer back into its working position.Plug the power cord back into the outlet and start the wash cycle again. If the FH error code comes up again, call a service repairman. If the hoses have no kinks and the inlet screens are clean, there is a problem with either the pressure switch or the flow meter.

Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

When left the dish washer slowly fills with water causing flooding

Hi.

If the dishwasher fills when being left off, the tech must check for voltage at the inlet valve, then eventually replace the inlet valve.

If the dishwasher overfills during cycle, then test and eventually replace the water level device, usually a float sensor and switch.

Kenmore HE3t Frontloader Fills Up With Water After Cycle

Does this change if you select a cold wash or a hot wash? What's the water temperature feel like when it fills? I'd suspect the water control solenoid for either the hot or cold water isn't shutting off completely. This could possibly be due to a piece of debris or mineral deposit in its seat, and could be cleaned with CLR or citric acid if you remove it. They're not very expensive and not a very hard item to change on most machines.

Kenmore Stock#25812 does not stop filling with water. Overflows and creates a flood.

Hello,Sounds like a problem with either the inlet valve or the pressure switch, The way to determine which on is while it is filling pull the plug..if water keeps filling it's the inlet valve..if it stops filling it's the pressure switch The inlet Valve is located normally on the back of the machine. The pressure switch can be located inside the control panel, It is the part that has the plastic tube attached. You should replace the part that you find to be faulty. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to comment again..good luck!! Mike

Machine will fill but not complete any cycle. suspect timer

If the washer will fill on all cycles except rinse, it indicates a cold water supply problem. (Cold water is what is used in the rinse cycle). This normally would be caused by a faulty solenoid on the water inlet valve. Here is a picture. The solenoid can be checked with an ohm meter or multimeter. If the solenoid reads zero ohms, it is stuck open and the inlet valve must be replaced. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Kenmore HE3t water fills by itself! with door open too! doesnt always drain fully

If you tip the machine back at an angle, you should see a clear plastic sausage shaped thing with a plastic tube coming from it, you will need to remove the plastic thig (pressure vessl) and clean it out.
