CLOGGED HOSES OR WATER PUMP

Clean the drain filter, located under the washer door

Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today.Remove the bottom panel there are 3 screws under it.You will see a round white cover it is the drain pump clean-out. Remove the cover and clean it out.Be careful water is going to come out! After cleaning it see if the error stops.
Thank You and please rate my answer if it was helpful..

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

How abt a nice rating for the free help? Thnks

Hi,
It sounds like you have something stuck in the pump.
To repair
Unplug machine.
Remove bottom front panel(remove 2-3 screws in the bottom) Pull bottom of panel out and down to remove.
Towards the center bottom you will see the pump. On the front is a round thing that resembles a filter. This is the pump filter screen...Get a shallow pan to put under screen. Turn lid counter clockwise to remove(turn slowly and allow water to drain. As you may need to dump pan several times before all water is drained out. Be carful or you could end up with water everywhere. Once the water is drained pull out screen and remove the debris and objects stuck in screen and filter housing you should also be able to see the impeller on the pump inspect for debris. Once everything is cleaned out reverse removal procedures put back together.

your pump is probably plugged or the impeller on the pump motor is not turning properly and jamming.

Did you get an answer/solution

I had this same problem pull the bottom panel off. There will be a white plastic filter turn the knob it screws off, pull out the filter . Cleaning the filter should fix this problem it did for me.

did the technician point out wat needs to be repaired

Unplug the machine. Unscrew the 3 screws under the front edge of the washer. The service technician manual is attached to the panel that slides down and off. Find F21 code. See suggested procedures. Note: My drain pump filter had a baby wash cloth in it along with some change that was disrupting the flow. It is exceptionally easy to remove, clean, and reinstall. Just line up installation notches when reinstalling. Whirlpool should have mentioned this filter in the User & Care Guide, but I could not find it anywhere in there.
