I went through the first two steps of your troubleshooting guide:
I might add that my tub is overfilling along with the F20 code - F20 code appears aproox 6-7 minutes after I start the cycle. I noticed this as I have sepnt the last two hours watching the cycles and taking it apart.
1. Drain goes into laundry tub (no stand-off). Laundry tub and drain pipe lengths are at proper heights and lengths. No siphoning issue.
2. Drain Pump - I did find some coins and a screw in the drain pump - directions were very good for clearing pump. But did not fix problem.
3. Pressure switch - I did find the pressure switch - and I took off the end of the aire hose attached to the pressure switch and blew through it. Fixed the problem. But that's all I did - I didn't take off both ends. Should I take off the other end at the washer tub and clean the filter? I also wiggled a few wires on the wiring harnesses to amek sure the connections were good to the pressure filter and the water inlet valves.
I found a manual attached to the bottom plate - is that the manual you are referring to? Not very detailed as far as troubleshooting components. Any other suggestions on repari maunals for this product
So...what you're telling me is that your washer is fixed? I'm a little unclear on what you're asking here. In line item 3 you mention you corrected the problem, but were still asking for a repair manual. If you are referring to the tech sheet inside the washer, some of these a VERY discript, while others seem to lack information. Do you still require assistance?So...what you're telling me is that your washer is fixed? I'm a little unclear on what you're asking here.

The FL error code means: Flood Condition: FL flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due to an overfill condition instead of a suds lack condition in order for FL to be displayed
With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time-out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.
This problem I see on these are the water pumps getting clogged with lint or other things, causing the pump not to pump all of the water out at times.
There is a check "valve" in the drain assembly that seems to sometimes cause problems with the FL error code. You can remove this piece, and might avoid changing the pump.

Hi, Your washer is seeing a flooded condition. That's the bad news. The good news is that it will try to fix the condition, too. I found this info below in a troubleshooting guide:
"FL" flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due to an overfill condition instead of a suds lock condition in order for "FL" to be displayed.
With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.
If it occurs again, let the machine try to clear the fault before you clear it.

hi thanks for the question i would check the water level hose. it sometimes gets lint in that small hose remove hose anc clean thanks the appliance doc
FL" flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. This could just be a fluke, or you could have a possible bad pressure switch that is not shutting off the water supply correctly. In addition, fill valves have been known to short out causing water to constantly fill in the wash tub. Lastly, your household water pressure could be too low and won't shut the fill valves off properly. Inlet water pressure should be a minimum of 10-20 psi.
With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time-out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display. I hope some of this leads you in the right direction.
