I had the same problem. I turned out to be a bad electrical connection to the machine. I think the "F" means fault, as in electrical fault. (Although I had another meaning for it). The machine kept tripping the breaker when the "F" displays. After shutting down the breaker and correcting the connection issue, the "F" never came back, the machine works fine, and no more breakers tripping. If you can't do electrical connections, I recommend getting an electrician. Hope this helps

It should mean "no water detected entering machine" or "pressure switch trip not detected". 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. Check inlet valve operation
  • If there is water in the unit:
    1. Check Drain pump operation
    2. Pressure Switch Hose is in good condition and properly connected to Tub and Pressure switch
  • Check there is not a siphon problem
  • Check wire harness connections to:Inlet Valves, Pressure Switch, Drain Pump, Flow Meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU)
  • Check all hoses for possible leaks
  • Check pressure switch operation
  • Check flow meter operation
