Ohh, duets are such a treat.

If the drain time exceeds eight minutes, “F21” will be displayed,
the water valves will turn off and the pump will stop running.
Press PAUSE/CANCEL to drain the machine. The display will be
cleared and the machine will turn off after a maximum of eight
minutes.

 Possible Causes/Procedure
1. Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or
kinked.
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure
the pump is running.
4. Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects.
5. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
6. If the above does not correct the problem, go to step 7.
7. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
8. Replace the pump.

 this is what Whirlpool says, but we have found that this doesnt always work.

Whirlpool duet steam washer error f21
The F21 code is a ' drain issue ' --- if you remove the bottom panel from the machine you will see the water pump right there,, just in front of the pump you will see a clean out area,, unscrew counter clockwise and remove the catch screen,,, it most likely has a few things in it ,, clean out - re-install and start the cycle. and the F21 code should be gone AND washer is back up and running.

F21 clogged line on a new Duet Sport less than a year old???
Hi, regarding the F21 Error on the Front End Whirlpool Duet, I was able to resolve the problem with the instructions from here, just want to stress cleaning out the filter by removing the front panel. Very easy and the error code is now gone. (screws are underneath front panel at bottom, remove stacker drawer for easy access, remove screws, pull panel off, remove the filter cap, turn to the left and pull out-that's where you will locate the clog.

Duet GHW9150P Front Load Washer: Whirlpool Duet Washer - Error F21 (What is this) ...
First check your washer plug to see if the connections are tightly screwed. Next check your filter if you haven't for long.

Remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the front panel under the washer door. Your filter door will be light brown. If you find a hose there it is to drain out excess water (water that could not be drained by your pump) After you hv drained unscrew the cap and remove all the junk inside. Have a large plastic bag to catch junk and water. Refit carefully after cleaning out. If not solved, something shd be blocking your pump, check this out. Door locked? Press "end of cycle" for 3 seconds, wait for 2 minutes & try the door. F-21 filter blocked.

How abt a nice rating for the free help? Thnks

Getting the F21 flashing on my Whirlpool Duet Washing maching
To know what the f21 means, You need to see the fault code list; this is on a tech sheet that is usually taped to the back of the machine, orit is in the contol compartment that you will have to open to access. Note: the newer whirpool units have end caps that must be removed by light prying in order to access the screw on each side that releases the component compartment . Goodluck, Macgivor

Need directions to unclog my Whirlpool duet washer which is giving me a f21 code.
Empty the washer and get some towels...

  1. Unplug the washer.
  2. Remove the kick panel 4-8 screws along the bottom with a Torx 15 screwdriver.
  3. Directly in front of you will be the pump and the cleanout (large twist-cap).
  4. Pack towels under and around the cleanout.
  5. Turn the cap counter-clockwise and pull out.
  6. Remove any debris.
  7. If you have an additional cylindrical pre-filter, remove and clean it.
  8. Re-assemble.
  9. Plug in the washer
  • Note: If you see bubbles or foam in the cleanout, you're using too much soap.
