HE4T displays code "F" "H", stops part way through wash cycle

We have an HE4T smartwash quiet pack 9, mod# 110.45081. It will go part way through the wash cycle and stop, then displays an "F" "H" code. I have checked all the water intake hoses and screens, and the drain trap and drain hose. No kinked hoses and all screens are clean. It fills with water and drains properly. Any ideas???

"FH" is a No Water Detect error. It is an indication that you either have no water coming into the washer, or very little water at all. The following link explains how to troubleshoot:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3608753-fh_error_code


This is one of those error codes that can be tricky to troubleshoot due to the many potential causes of the problem. My adivce to you is to eliminate the easy common sense items first, such as making sure the water taps are turned on sufficiently, the inlet hoses aren not kinked, the water inlet valve is not clogged, you don't have a siphoning issue, and/or the drain pump is working.

For the more complicated potential causes, each one of these washers comes with a technical data sheet inside.

To access, you will need to remove the lower toe panel under the door. The access screws are located under the bottom front edge of the panel. You may have to prop the two front feet of the washer up for better access ( a 2x4 works well for this). With the screws removed, the panel should drop down, then come off. If the tech sheet isn't directly behind the panel, it will be affixed to one of the interior cabinet walls.

The tech sheet lists all error code definitions, troubleshooting data, diagnostics procedures and wiring diagrams. I mention the tech sheet because you may need it to troubleshoot this error code.

Read through the information provided and let me know if you have any further questions. I hope this can help you.

NOTE: If you have already verified the sediment screens at the inlet valve are clear, the drain pump is not clogged and all the hoses are clear and not kinked, you've narrowed it down to either a siphoning issue, pressure switch problem or a flowmeter.

My kenmore elite smartwash/he4t

The "F11" fault code will display if the Motor Control Unit (MCU) has an internal failure; repeating under or over voltage, or over current conditions. If failure occurs during high speed spin the door unlocks after 3 minutes. The MCU (Motor Control Unit) is located beside the motor. Here is the part to order.

Kenmore elite smartwash quiet pak 9 he4t the washer starts filing water when the washer is turned off.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
This is symptomatic of a malfunctioning water control valve- not closing fully- the hot water one, if the washer is hot and cold fill, and the cold one if it is just cold fill!
Sorry but it needs replacing and a service call ;-0(
Good luck,
John C

He4t kenmore elite smartwash quietpak9. keeps flashing F2?

"F02" is a Long Drain error. This is an indication that there's an obstruction somewhere in the drainage system. Most commonly, the drain pump reservoir needs to be checked and cleaned. The access screws are on the bottom front edge of the lower toe panel directly below the door. You may need to prop up the two front feet of the washer to access them (a 2x4 works well for this). The following link explains:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3574284-checking_the_drain_pump_on_a_front_loade

It does not take much to damage the pump impeller or motor. Since the error code is generated if the drain cycle exceeds 8 minutes, if the pump is damaged and can't pump at the required volume, the error code will continue to appear until the pump is replaced. If the pump requires replacement, the following link explains how:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3574350-replacing_the_drain_pump_in_a_front_load

Replacements can be purchased online at any of the following websites:

searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com

Prices vary between these sites, so shop and compare.

If you have any questions about this repair, or need additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

Our washer shakes & wobbles durring the spin cycle I have the kenmore smartwash quiet pak 9. THE FEET ARE ALL FLAT ON THE FLOOR BUT WE JUST MOVED AND CAN NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. ANY IDEAS?

ahh but is the floor level?

use a spirit level to see that the floor is actually level and distribute the clothes around the drum to stop it going out of balance. Of course you know that last bit you have been washing for years,but check the floor

Stops washing cycle without draining and spinning: gives error code F 02

"F02" is a Long Drain error. If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes this error code will be displayed. In addition, a "SUDS" error may also be generated as a secondary error. This is an indication of a drain pump problem and/or clog in the drain line. You will need to check the following:

1. Check the drain hose to make sure it is not kinked or clogged.
2. Check the electrical connections to the pump and ensure the pump is running.
3. Remove the drain pump filter and check for foreign objects and/or debris.

To check the drain pump, click on the following link for step-by-step instructions.

If the above procedures do not correct the problem, it is recommended by the manufacturer to replace the drain pump
