What does error code f23 flashing mean on a Whirlpool ...

F23 Pressure switch failure Should the main electronic control unit detect that the wash level contact (or level) is on and the switch level for wash heater safety is off for any more than ten seconds during a wash this error code will be displayed.
Resetting the program may clear this error but unlikely.

• Check the pressure switch or sensor for operation and electrically
• Check the wiring from the main electronic control card to the level sensor
• Check all connectors between the main controller and pressure switch
• Run test program
• Also see F08 and F12 as heater failure can cause this error to occur

Hi, F23 means that there is a fault in the heating circuit and the heater is not working This fault is triggered if the water fails to rise by 30C or 86F in the first 8 minutes of the heating process.

1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Check the connections to water heater.
3. Check resistance and continuity of the heating element.
4. Check the water temperature sensor and connections to it.
5. Check the water temperature sensor and connection to it.

F:23 means that your machine is leaking and should be repaired. This is often a bad seal and if you are competent or know a friend who is they can inspect the source of the leak for you. Needless to say you should make sure that you unplug your machine before attempting any repairs.

Hope this helps you.

Hi,
It means that there is a fault in the heating circuit and the heater is not working

The listed site deals with this problem so take a look and if you are fully capable of testing, follow the troubleshooting instructions but always double check that the unit is unplugged or disconnected from the electrical supply.

And remember kindergarten rule #1 "If in doubt, don't" with everything that is potentially dangerous. Electricity kills so a service repair bill may be a better solution.

Hope this helps.

That code means "No water or Insufficient water supply" Check the water supply valve, the fill hose screen for debris... Good luck let me know if that solved it..

The following list of codes indicates an electronics communication problem with the washer:

1. Unplug washer or disconnect power for one minute.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
3. Re-select the cycle and press Start.

NOTE: If the error remains on the display, call for service.

F23 that it indicates a leak into the base of the appliance.

You'll need to unplug the appliance and take the rear cover off.

Check for a spillage and if there is an anti flood device in the base, ensure it's reset/working or replace it.
