    In the middle of a wash, my machine stopped and the display showed FL with beeping every 10 seconds. I have been experiencing water flow problems but canceling the cycle a few times usually got my washing machine the reset before. I'm afraid it's getting worse.

FL" flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. This could just be a fluke, or you could have a possible bad pressure switch that is not shutting off the water supply correctly. In addition, fill valves have been known to short out causing water to constantly fill in the wash tub. Lastly, your household water pressure could be too low and won't shut the fill valves off properly. Inlet water pressure should be a minimum of 10-20 psi. With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time-out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit. Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display. I hope some of this leads you in the right direction.

Kenmore elite washing machine with calypso - cycle ended with water in tub after partial wash of 3 towels, signnal was LD - re-started machine and it stopped with signal FL - machine will not re-start
Fl stands for flooded. Either your pressure switch is bad or plugged in the tubing from the tub to control panel or the sensor is bad. But check and make sure the water is draining or pumping out like it should, if not the problem may lie in your drain pump or hose.

My washing machine stops
FL = Overfill

You should check your pump. If the pump is letting the washer overfill, replace it. Look around for some ways to take the cabinet off.

Machine stoped after wash cycle tub did not drain and reads F L kenmore elite calypso model #22064 100 type 170 cannot get it to start at all it keeps beeping and reads FL
The FL error code means:
Flood Condition:
FL flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due to an overfill condition instead of a suds lack condition in order for FL to be displayed

With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time-out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.

Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

This problem I see on these are the water pumps getting clogged with lint or other things, causing the pump not to pump all of the water out at times.

There is a check "valve" in the drain assembly that seems to sometimes cause problems with the FL error code. You can remove this piece, and might avoid changing the pump.

I have a Kenmore Elite model 11021086000 washing machine. The past several weeks we've noticed two problems that I think are related: 1) clothes, whites especially, come out with brown streaks and marks that look like grease and 2) we are seeing, with increasing frequency, clothes get caught between the washplate and the basket. It looks like maybe the seal around the edge of the washplate is worn out and needs to be replaced. Anybody else seen these problems or know how to fix them?
