What does F09 mean mean for a whirlpool AW0 3561 front loader?

SOURCE: whirlpool front loader

please clarify the "some times throughs the switch" part...does the timing switch continue to run even though the machine stopped?

Since Sears doesn't manufacture its own equipment I need a product code number to access the specific features of your appliance. Email me with that info and I can find what the error codes are.

"F02" is a Long Drain error and "F09" is an Overflow Condition. The following two links explain both errors:

The common factor with both links is the drain pump. There's a good possibility that you have something lodged in the pump. The next link explains how to check the pump for obstructions:

Follow the links and check the items common to both, as this could be the source of the two error codes occurring. It does not take much to damage the drain pumps in these washers. If you do find something in the pump, clean it thoroughly, and it still does not work, you will have to replace it. Let me know if it comes to this point and I can give you advice on how to order a replacement and how to replace it. I hope this helps you.

F DL ERROR MESSAGE

SOURCE: Whirlpool Front Loader Washer Model# WFW9600

I had a suds error and then a F 35 error. Turns out I had a collection of junk and debris between the door seal and the drain at bottom of door. Cleared out the debris now my washer is running like a top. (washer senses pressure error, thats why I got said error codes)
