The pump keeps saying clear drain alarm everyday no matter how much you clean out the filters. Plus it doesn't have as much suction power as it used too, even running at 2700 rpm.

Try these... -Clean out the drain pump inside and below.

- Pull the suction boot off the drain pump, clean out any gookus.

- Blow through the drain hose starting from the connection at the pump.
make sure it is not clogged follow the line from under the sink and disonnect it from under the sink and make sure it is clear
- If all else checks out, replace the pump.

The Duet hides the pump/filter access behind the lower panel. Most LG, Miele and ASKO washers have it right up front for easy access. I guess keeping such a base element out of view helps sales.

Long Drain error code.
If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are turned off and "F/02" is flashed.
Press, PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.
NOTE: After 4 minutes the "Sud" error will be displayed, then 4 minutes later the "F2 error code" will be displayed.
Potential Causes:(1) Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked.
(2) Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is running.
(3) Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects.
If the above does not correct the problem replace the pump

Hi
F21 error means that the drain time has exceeded 8 minutes; this will turn off the water valves. Press PAUSE/CANCEL two times to clear the display. If errors still remains then please check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked. Disassemble the washer by removing the back from the washer and check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is draining. Also inspect the pump filter for foreign objects. Before disassembling remember to turn off the power and disconnect the washer. If it still doesn't help then there is an issue with the pump and you'll need to replace it. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Hi
F2 is a drain error and dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller & clean the chopper assembly. Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

You say that you can see a large flow through the pump cover but that water must be coming from the pool somehow. It must be coming through the main drain. If you turn the main drain off then the flow from the skimmer should increase considerably. If it doesn't the issue could be caused by a nearly plugged line between the skimmer basket and the pump. I have had similar symptoms and I started by using a drain jet device on a hose to force water backwards from the pump to the skimmer with the main drain valve turned off. I couldn't clear the plug so I had to dig the line up and found a bad area of the piping where it made a reduced pipe size 90 degree turn. Sycamore bark, leaves and twigs were stuck at that pinch point.

I hope this helps.

Are you saying there is 'no suction' or there is 'little suction'? If your pump is running and water is going back to the pool, that water is coming from somewhere ... probably being pulled from the pool. Is this a new pool? If not, did it operate properly last year? Are you getting air into your system?

You don't say much about your pool ... is the suction line attrached to a skimmer? Two skimmers? Two skimmers and a bottom drain? Attached to the bottom drain? I don't understand why you are reporting no suction since there is a discharge ... Is this pool in the ground or above ground? Do you have one circulator pump or do you have multiple pumps? If you have two skimmers and are trying to vacuum, close the shutter on the other skimmer or put a plug into it. Make sure the plug is the proper size, you don't want to get the plug pulled into the system!

Perhaps there is not enough suction for you to vacuum? If your suction is attached to several points in your pool, can you cut back on the other ports? For example, if you are drawing from the bottom and a skimmer, can you shut the bottom drain off?

Have you checked your impeller for hair clogging? What about your filter, if sand, have you back washed? What is your discharge pressure? If DE, how is the DE doing? Might it be due for a change? If a cartridge filter, is your cartridge clean? Of course dirty filters will cause high pressure and poor flow of water. If your impeller is clogged with hair, that will impede the flow of water.

Fill in some of thedetails and I will continue to try to assist you. Thank you for your interest in FixYa.com
