Re: Does this machine have a filter on the drain line?...
The filter should be located at the bottom front right of the washer.
It may be behind a removeable plastic cover at the bottom of the washer.
Unscrew anti-clockwise to remove and clean.

Ok hot water being still there and not draining is a clog in your drain line or pump issue. I have not yet brought up the schematic to your unit but on some units there is a clean out filter located down the bottom in which you would clean out the filter careful water does come out when you unscrew the filter on other models that do not have the filter door you would remove the lower panel on the front which would give you access to the pump and the drain lines as well even though if you do find items in the filter you still need to disconnect the drain lines going to and leaving from the pump to assure that nothing is blocking or clogging the flow of water. Im glad you replyed about the hot water still being on the inside definite clog in the drain line or pump or filter issue. If you have any further questions message me back. I await your reply Thanks Rick
The door does not open because there is water detected inside the machine. Water must be removed through the drain filter connected to drain pump.
Disconnect power. If front loader remove the trim panel at the base of the machine. Top loader have access at the bottom or at the back. Locate the drain filter access at one side. Remove drain filter cap. Collect water using containers (have them ready, a lot of water will flow out). Put back cap and trim and reapply power.
Emptying water from drain lines is usually enough to unlock the door. If that does not work, then the door is opened reaching back side of the door latch (from inside the washer's cabinet). Access is from top, after removing panel, or from bottom. Some front loader has an emergency unlock cord inside that can be reached undoing completely the drain filter. The procedure requires disassembling and should be done by a technician.
If the door stays locked then there is water detected inside the machine.
You will need to disconnect power and to access the drain pump/drain filter to empty the water inside the machine. Water
is emptied through the drain filter located in front of the machine at
the bottom, behind the trim panel. If the problem occurs again the
machine is faulty and must be repaired. Parts such as drain system,
drain pump, pressure switch, door switch and control panel may be
responsible for drain problems.
Check
the position of the drain hose. Ensure that the height is as specified
by the manual or you get siphoning and drain does not end.
Access
the drain filter. With most front loaders this located in front at the
bottom in a corner, there
should be a trim or an access panel.Top loaders have an access panel at
the back, or more commonly the pump is accessed from underneath, bending
the appliance on one side and securing it.
The machine has a
pressure
switch. It is a sensor connected to a long thin rubber hose. The
pressure switch is often in control assembly. Clean the hose and the switch.
One way to test the pressure switch is by blowing into the switch, but
manufacturers say this must not be done as you can damage a good switch. The
pressure switch is difficult to test in full. Testing is done either
reading voltages while machine is working or reading Ohms at the switch
with tub empty and full. For safety reasons I suggest users to avoid
performing tests or maintenance that must be done with power on.
Most machines have a tech booklet tucked inside the control panel assembly. You take off
panel that is held by a couple of screws and see if there is the
envelope with the sheet
Start
checking drain hose and drain filter. If machine is a front loader the drain filter access is
located behind the door at the front bottom side of the machine.
Code E21 means that there
is a drain problem. The repair is carried checking the drain hose at the
back and accessing the drain filter (in front at the bottom with most
machines from those manufacturers. IF there is no problem with drain lines then the pressure switch , the pump or the electronic control may be responsible. For some general troubleshooting see :
My washing machine does not drain.
Access the drain filter and check for foreign objects in there. In this model the access for the drain filter should be located at the front bottom of the machine, behind a trim. Other models have the access at the back. Disconnect power, locate access, remove cap, collect water using a container and check for blockage or foreign objects in there.
take top off remove three srcews in back ..remove 4 screws hold control console ,,dont remove connection just flip console on top of drum,,make sure unit is unpluged..your looking at 4 screws across to panel remove them open door remove spring wire clip around the out sid bellows where almost there..now careful down in the filter acess panel remove the frist screw the filter cover comes off after the cover is out remove the pump filter housing screw..and last remove thebottom panel screw,,remov panel,,pump on left is drain pump..pump on right is recrulation pump
"F09" is an Overflow Condition error. This is usually attributed to a malfunctioning pressure switch, loose or broken connector between the Pressure Switch, Drain Pump and Central Control Unit (CCU), or...a drain pump or drain line that has become clogged.
Since this problem occurs periodically during the wash cycle, I would check your drain pump filter for obstructions first. It could be that you have debris lodged in the pump causing it not to drain properly. To access the pump:
1. Unplug the washer.
2. Remove the lower kick panel under the door by removing the screws under the bottom edge. HINT: Placing a couple of blocks of wood under the front feet of the washer will make access much easier.
3. The drain pump is located under the wash tub in the center. HINT: If you own a shop vac, remove the drain line from the standpipe at the wall and pull a vacuum through the drain line. This will remove all residual water from the washer and make clean up later a lot less messy. Now, remove the cover on the drain pump and remove. Clean out the pump filter and check the pump impeller for obstructions.
If you do not own a shop vac, place a bunch of towels around the drain pump BEFORE you open it. There's about a gallon or so of water in the tub, drain line and pump.
Try this first, and let me know if this corrects your problem. If not, you may need to check the pressure switch and wiring. I hope this helps you.
