The FH error code on your Kenmore Elite washing machine is an indicator that there is a problem with incoming water. When there is little water coming into the machine, the FH code will appear and the washer will stop. There are a couple of common problems you can check while you are resetting the FH error code. You will need to remove the power supply to the washer to reset the code
Look for the "Pause/Cancel" button on the washer control panel. The button will be below the digital time clock and to the lower right of the wash cycle selector. Press the "Pause/Cancel" button twice to cancel the wash cycle. Unplug the Kenmore Elite washer from the wall outlet. Check for kinks in the water supply hose while the washer does not have power. Turn off the water supply spigots and remove the hoses from the back of the washer. Check the port screens at the hose connections for sediment buildup and clean as necessary. Connect the water supply hoses back to the washer and turn on the water spigots. Plug the washer cord back into the wall outlet. Select the wash cycle and press the "Start" button. If the error code come back you will probably have to change the water inlet valves. No hard to do and you can fdo this yourself
First try turning off the machine for 30 minutes. Still FH? Then check your inlet valve. Shut off valve, switch off machine & see if the water comes full flow. Check the filters on the machine inlet entry, they could be blocked, clean out.
The FH indicates a fill failure and this is usually caused by a bad water valve, flow meter or pressure switch.
One key to determining the cause of the FH error is how fast the error comes up in a cycle. If the error appears within 1 or 2 minutes then the most likely cause will be the water valve or flow meter.
If the error doesn't appear for several minutes then the pressure switch can be the source of the problem.
Both water valves must be turned on and working. Even if a cold wash is selected at some point during the fill the hot water valve will be energized and if there is no water then the FH error will show up. Sometimes a consumer will turn the hot water valve off to save energy but you can't turn one valve off on this washer.
Inlet valves can be purchased thru the net and fitted by you easily.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa
FH error is displayed when the control detects no
water entering the machine. To clear this error press and hold the PAUSE/CANCEL
button twice. You can then check if the water inlet valve is fine and not
clogged with foreign particles, try to clean it. If the water inlet valve
appears to be fine then check if the pressure switch hose is properly connected
to the pressure switch & tub. Please get back to me if you have any
questions.
