I cleaned out the drain lines and filter at the pump and that did not fix the problem. The pump did not "sound" right so I then replaced it. It will pump water with the new pump but still getting same F02 message and I also noticed that the fabric softner will not dispense.
We've been doing the following to get the machine to wash clothes: First, start normal cycle; when it goes drain cycle, we get the SUD or F02 message. We can then manually put it in the rinse/spin cycle. It will do that and then error out with the F02 message. We then manually put it into the drain/spin cycle. It never goes into a full speed spin. It willdo this for a while and then display the F02 message, although sometimes it will finish the drain/spin cycle. It will not complete a full wash cycle without manual intervention. I'm stumped!
The pressure switch is sensing that there is still water in the unit,it sits at the top of machine under the top cover,it is round and usually red in color remove the hose/tube from it and blow through it to make sure it is clear,you can also remove the switch itself and lightly blow into it you will hear a couple of clicks put it back together and give it a shot..
Hello &
Welcome to FixYa
F02 is a drain error in your Kenmore washer, if
the unit is unable to drain then after 4 minutes it will display sud and then
F02. The first thing that should be done is cleaning the drain hose and the
drain pump filter, you can take out three torx screws from the bottom front
panel and then clean the area completely, lift up the cap to clean the filter.
If the error returns then check the drain pump if it is not working then
replacing the pump is recommended repair. Please get back to me if you have any
other questions.
