Hf-360 leaking at cutoff valve

You seem to be saying the unit "leaked: really badly getting water all over; and now the hot plate will not heat up. Such "leaks" are usually caused when the basket is not pushed in correctly so that the water cutoff switch remains closed when it should be open. (The water cutoff valve is what allows you to remove the pot/carafe in order to pour a quick cup even while the coffee is still drip brewing.) If that cutoff vvalve remains closed for more than a minute or so, or less, water will overlow the basket because with its path out the bottom and into the pot is blocked' and it has not place else to go but over the top of the filter basket holder. Now, when such an overlfow (not leak) happens, there is the hot plate right below into which the overflow flows down. As long at it remains wet it will be short circuited and not heat up. So let stand and/or blow or hairdryer heat to remove all water (be sure to unplug coffee maker to to that). Now, once everything including the hot plate are dry, the coffee maker will either work fine, or will need to be replaced.

Assuming this water heater is tank type..... Most plumbers will have a cutoff valve located at the water heater or they should have.... if there is not a valve there then the next option will be at water meter located outside or in basement depending on the area you live in......if you dwelling is supplied by a well then you may have a valve in next to the pump or determine what breaker supplies the power to well and turn it off.... ( this will take a little time for the pressure to drop low enough to actually slow the water leak) if the leak is on the tank then you must cut power off to the unit and remove unit or drain the tank to stop the water from spreading( if unit is an electric)

Hi just read your posting.When you say the water is leaking out of the top ,does that mean it is leaking on the floor or leaking into the bowl even when the machine is off.If it is leaking into the bowl then it is a faulty water valve.Turn off the cold tap and leave for an hour and see if the water stops and if it does stop then the problem is the cold valve.If it doesn"t stop the leak turn the hot off and leave for an hour and see if that stops the leak.By memory I think your water valves are a double unit and to change one you must change both.Please reply with additional information about where the water is leaking to and I can help you rectify this fault,

It is leaking from the pressure relief button. Call them back and have them replace this one also.

You need to replace the water inlet valve. It isn't closing completely when the machine turns off.

However, if the hoses to the back of the washer have their own cutoff, turning them off when you are done will fix it too... you just have to be there when the machine stops.

The HF or FH indicates that No water detected entering machine or Pressure switch trip not detected.

If after 30 seconds the control does not detect water entering machine and then valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed.
Or
If the control has turned the water valves on and after 8 minutes the flow meter has detected 10.5 gallons of water passing through it, but has not detected the pressure switch trip, the valves will be turned off and the error code will flash.

ACTION
Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.

• If there is no water in the unit:
  1. Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way.
  2. Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves
  3. Verify inlet valve operation
• If there is water in the unit:
  1. Verify Drain pump operation
  2. Pressure Switch Hose is in good condition and properly connected to Tub and Pressure switch
• Verify there is not a siphon problem
• Verify wire harness connections to:Inlet Valves, Pressure Switch, Drain Pump, Flow Meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Check all hoses for possible leaks
• Verify pressure switch operation
• Verify flow meter operation
• Verify CCU operation

There should be a cutoff valve on the line going to the fridge. This will cutoff water dispenser, as well, if it has one. It may be behind the fridge or under the sink, or???

More help?, let me know.

Hi there,

F/H No water detected entering machine or Pressure switch trip not detected.
If after 30 seconds the control does not detect water entering machine and then valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed.

The HF error code is a hot fill valve control issue. Here are some tips:

This is directly from the Whirlpool tech sheets we use to verify these problems. Make sure you have the hot water on fully and the hoses and strainers inside (at the fill valve and hose connection) are clean and debris free. let me know if this helps you out any.
