Helping people after a decade! I fixed my washing machine last night and I'm thrilled to have it working again without having to call a repairman. Thank you so much.
This video probably saved me a call to an appliance repair guy. Super easy and now I have a new maintenance task to add to my homeowner list. The prior owners clearly never cleaned this trap.
You know what I enjoy most about this video? Reading what people find in the drain trap! Thank you all for the comments over the years!
Thank you ! Letting u know , your video is helping someone even after 11 years.
Thank you! This was super helpful. My washing machine had been showing this error on and off for almost a month and no one in the house knew what to do but no one wanted to call a repair guy either. So I found your video and fixed it myself! Thanks again!
Thank you for posting this video. not only did you save me the headache of breaking the front panel trying to get it off (I didnt notice the screws), it also guided me to find not one, not two but three child socks alot of lint and 50 cents in change... works like a dream now!
Thanks a million sir this video saves me a lot of money thanks
just bought this washer today(used obviously) and searched the F2 code error for about 2 mins online, your video came up, I watched it, took the front panel off the washer and there it was- just like you showed it. tons of goop.. works great now! THANK YOU!!!!! Damon
🎉I followed your instructions and without anyone’s help I fixed my washer for free because of your awesome and perfect advice!!! Got it up running in 30 mins!!! ❤
I just used this and it worked. You are the man!
Thank you for your help!!!! You just saved me a lot of money the day before Thanksgiving!
Thank you so much for this! My husband has been trying to fix this problem for months. Finally a quick online search led me to your video. I was able to fix this in about 30 minutes. Wash day is saved however I can't say the same for my husband's pride- lol!
Thanks for posting this video! We had the same problem and were able to fix it in under a half hour! Lots of time & money saved, thanks again.
Good video. Saved a service call - the washer manual obviously was written to prompt a service call, as the error code F02 only suggested a drain problem and to check the drain hose.
THANK YOU for posting this-it was an easy fix-but one I would not have been able to do without your video.
I can’t thank you enough for this! Husband out of town, and I desperately needed my washing machine to work again but couldn’t afford a repairman. Fixed it myself, thanks to you!
Thank you so much for posting. I'm a single mom and money is tight. I can't afford a new machine or a repair man at this time. With 4 kids the clothes was really starting to pile up. You saved the day big time. I can't believe I'm excited to wash clothes but I am. Thank you
Perfect video! Just cleaned our drain trap to reset F2 error code issue. Water bottle cap, assorted plastic debris, routine gunk, etc. plugging up drain holes.
thanks! my wife and i were getting so frustrated. found a lot of lint, COINS and hair ties what a relief
Had this exact problem on my HE3 (It's 19 years old! ). This was an easy fix and now she drains perfectly. Even though this is a few years old, thanks for the video! RUclips never stops helping! Now I have to replace the main drum bearing (it's getting noisy) and probably the belt while I'm at it.
Thank you so much. You just saved me a $125.00 service call. I showed my husband your video, he did exactly as you instructed and we are not back up and running.
You fixed my problem... Thank you so much... I'm a single mom and money is always tight... I couldn't afford a new washer or to call the repair man,but your video saved me .... Thank You again... I'm so impressed that I did it too.
Phew, thank you. This went from a major headache when my washer stopped working to a "oh, is that all?" kinda fix. Much appreciated for uploading this video.
I would like to add my appreciation to that of so many others here! Your time and effort to create this video saved me lots of time. Thank You!
awwwww nice now I finally know where lone socks go to die......I thought they were being cremated in the dryer coming out as dryer lint!!!! Thank you for your help hope this fixes my washer!!!!!
A big thank you for taking the time to post this video! You saved me a service call and your instructions are excellent. Much appreciated!
THANK YOU! THANKYOU! THANK YOU!!!! this worked. it runs now. saved us $100 service visit, and much anxiety (worrying that it was time for new machine). only difficulty is that even after bailing out all the visible water in the drum, and then tilting back as far as possible...still got a couple of cups of very stinky water all over the place. small inconvenience compared to the fantastic advice & fix.
Awesome fix it video! I found gunk in the drainage hose and cleaned it out, but the washer was still not draining properly and kept getting the "F-02" error. My wife found this video while I was at work and jumped me right when I walked in the door. This was exactly the issue...got it all cleaned out and we are rolling. Too bad the Kenmore manual or their website doesn't share this simple troubleshooting fix. I know...they want you to either call their repair guy or buy a new one...not! Thanks again!
Well I'm glad you were able to fix the problem!
Thank you! Fixed my washer all by myself! Found all kinds of junk in the filter! Really appreciate your help.
I just used your video today to fix my washer! You saved me a lot of money and I'm so happy I was able to fix it myself! I agree with the comments below to have lots of towels on hand for the water and be sure to shut off the water valves and unplug! - Mine was clogged by a sock, a few legos and some coins. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO! My husband used your information to find what was wrong with our washer!
Thank you SO MUCH.... We just followed your instructions and FIXED our washer.. You are BRILLIANT..
Found 2 of my grandkids socks stuck in the filter. Thankyou so much for your video. The repair only took about 10 minutes.
Thank you. With your help I was able to get my Kenmore he3 door unlocked & unclog the drain pump. It works fine now!!
Thank you SO much for posting this video! My husband and I just fixed our washer and found 2 toddler socks in the drain pipe... we don't have a toddler. Nasty socks from the previous homeowner!!!
yep just saved me $$$ and trips to the laundrymat TOO ! Greatly appreciated!
Thanks a bunch for the video. I had a sock, a pen, several aluminium pull tabs, five coins, and other crud in my filter. Will now check this periodically.
I just tried it this afternoon (07/27/14). It seems to be working fine! Thanks!!! Probably saved a couple of hundred bucks by not calling a service guy/gal.
This video just saved my life!! Thank you for posting
great info. i checked my trap and it wasn't that dirty or clogged. i was a little sad because it thought that was not the problem. i got a flashlight and looked into the tube that brings the water to the trap and is saw a little sock that was from one of my many kids. this made me very happy because this was the problem and it was a easy fix!!! if you have kids, their socks are perfect for getting sucked into the drain tube and trap. so if your trap is not clogged, be sure to check the drain tube. thank you to cbozy! i fixed my washer in 5 minuets and spend no $$$$!!!!
Wow, I’m so happy I came across your video! This happened many, many years back and I remembered that I had seen a RUclips video on this topic; this is probably the same video I saw back then. Thanks so much for your effort in making this short, but very informative, video!
thank you sooo much for you video, it was a great help. it only took 30 min. to clean it out wash the trap and drain and put it back together. also great idea to put the washer at an angle, note the gasket does have a key, so be sure to place it the right way. thanks again.
Thanks for the video! It worked for our He4. One note is if you have standing water, definitely be ready with a bucket. The hose comes from the back, so even though we tipped it back, it still drained.
Awsome video. Saved me the time and expense of calling someone to do that easy repair.
Thanks for posting this. fixed my machine quickly and save a bundle! No husband required for this job...
Glad it helped you out!
Thank you so much!!! I will try to figure out how to get that bottom part of the machine off and then proceed! Seriously you helped me so much!
THANK you, you just saved me big bucks!!! Lots of hugs from Baltimore MD
THANK YOU for posting this. You just saved us a lot of money and we are very appreciative.
Thank you so very much for your video that helped me to fix my washer without paying a repair man!!!! It worked just like you said! :)
I would consider myself to be a girly girl and I was able to follow your video to fix my washing machine. I am sooo happy that I saved myself the repair bill. School is starting in 2 weeks and I need all the money I can get. Thank you. You have definitely helped out this single mom.
Saved me a service call! Thank you!
This was a great video. Right to the point and helped us save money by fixing this by ourselves.
Cleaning the drain trap got my HE3 back spinning! I and my family thank you sooooo much!
Thank you for posting this! Plastic airsoft bbs are the perfect size to plug up the holes in the drain plug.
Glad to help you out, I was too cheap to call a service man that's why I took it apart in the first place.
Cheers!
Thank you I appreciate you making this video. I was worried I was going to bust the filter because it was kind of hard to get off. But your tip worked perfectly. Thank you
You champ, that worked perfectly! Thanks for the clear instructions.
Thanks for this, a few months ago i replaced the pump and valve on back and was good, then today it would not drain all the way, never knew about the front drain trap..all good now.
I had the same problem. When I opened up the trap, it was empty. I decided to squeeze the rubber pipe going to the trap and it felt as if there was something inside. I cut a hanger and used the end as a hook. I pushed it pass the trap into the pipe and pulled out a small thin face cloth we use to wash our 2 year old daughter. Usually these small items are placed in a mesh bag before going into the wash, but this one got away. I screwed in the trap door and returned the machine to the floor and stared it up again. It worked fine. Thank goodness. Watch out for small items. They can get trapped in the pipe...
Tried the above and worked like a charm.
A very big thank you for your video! Saved me! Thank you so much!
Thank YOU!!! I was able to fix my washer and your video was instrumental.
Thank you so much! This saved me money when have none.🙏🏽
Worked like a charm - Thank you!!! Beauty fix!
Thanks. Ran into the same issue and, apparently, a sock made its way into the drain. Wowzers.
It works now! Thank you! Was stressing that I may need to buy another washer.
thanks for the good info, spot on.I found a pen a quarter and a 7mm wrench inside that stainer.
Thanks liked! Just fixed my brothers washer!
Thanks dude! This worked for me! I found a lot of different stuff in there!
Thank you for doing this video. It was an easy fix. Totally solved the problem. Very grateful for your time and effort.
Worked out great! Saved me a repair bill. Thank you.
Thank you!!! Your video was very helpful!
I use 2 dishwashing tablets and sanitary mode to break up the laundry soap sludge as preventive maintenance. Works great to help prevent clogs as you had.
Thanks. What a great video. Just cleaned out my drain and running the washer for the first time. Hope it works!
This guy's a genius! Thanks a million!
Lol!
You're welcome!
Nice video man. Didn't know they were that easy, Helped out a lot
Awesome quick fix! I finally know where that missing sock ended up at...along with some random missing coins and pens! lol
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. I was about to remove the washer & take it apart in ways I did not need to to fix this clog.
Thank you!! Saved us over $100 for a service call!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Problem solved. I would recommend that if you DIY have plenty of towels standing buy just in case. It would be good preventive maintenance to clean out this filter. Mine had two pencils, change, guitar picks and lots of crapola
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sharing!!! Our exact problem!!!
Thank you! Great video, it fixed my problem.
Thanks for making this video. You're a life saver!!!
thank you so much! i just fixed this myself while my husband was at work. awesome awesome awesome
Lol! Glad the video could help you out!
Thanks for the video I fixed my machine in 5 minutes!
Thank you sir... my machine is working back
Very good video. Its help me perfectly. Thank you 😊
Thanks friend. You saved me a service call from Sears. I hope I can return the favor on day.
Loved the video easy cleaning!! Thanks so much
Thank you so much. Fixed the problem
Thank you so much! This was exactly the problem!
Thank you sir! This fixed my issue and wife / kids are happy :-)
Thanks for the tip, washer runs like a top, cleaned a bunch of loose change in there.
When you get that sump trap open, make sure you check the inlet to the pump also while you have it open! I had a small piece of cloth stick in the blades of the pump there that I didn't see- I embedded up having to drain it twice... >.
Thank you for this video. helped a lot.
Excellent. Saved me hundreds of dollars in repair bills. Awesome. Thanks to the fix it guy!!
Cheers, glad it worked for you.
If clearing the drain trap doesn't fix it, take a close look at the rubber boot hose that connects it to the washer barrel. Inside it is a floating ball mechanism with a hole next to it that has potential to get clogged with lint or a sock. If the hose collapses while the pump is running, that's a sign it's clogged. It unclamps at both ends with a channel lock or pliers, and can be replaced, or you may be able to open just the upper end and clear it out.
Thank you; saved me. Working fine now.
You're a lifesaver.
Thank you very much for the video, worked perfectly.
