"F22" is a door latch error code. This is an indication of a failed door latch mechanism, failed Central Control Unit (CCU), or interconnecting problem between the two. The following link explains:

For more in depth troubleshooting tips refer to your tech sheet located inside the washer behind the lower toe panel. You will need to locate and remove the screws under the bottom front edge of the toe panel. Once removed, the panel will drop down, then come off. If the tech sheet isn't located directly behind the panel, it will be affixed to one of the interior cabinet walls. The tech sheet includes all error codes, test points, diagnostic procedures and helpful illustrations to assist in troubleshooting and repair of your washer.

If you determine the door latch to be defective, the following link explains step-by-step how to replace one:

Replacement parts (if required) can be purchased at any of the following websites:

searspartrsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com

Prices vary between sites, so shop and compare. The first three sites listed also have helpful exploded view parts illustrations to assist you with locating and properly identifying the parts you may need.


If you have any questions, or require additional assistance, please post back and let me know. I hope you find this information helpful.

What does F22 error mean?

This fault code denotes 6 failed attempts at locking the door. I have found that this code is typically indicitave of a failed lock. Check the strike on the door to be sure nothing boke on it, and if not get a replacement door lock assy for your machine. You will see the three screws that hold it in and can remove the front spring clamp from your door boot to give yourself access to the door lock.

Good luck to you on this!!
