    Thank you very much for your video! You gave me the courage to fix my 20 years old Kenmore HE4t washer. I took the washer apart (top, bottom, and back panels). My FH/HF issue turned out to be the pressure switch. I replaced the inlet valve and flow meter, and it still didn’t fix the problem. I replaced the pressure switch, the hose was still very new looking and in perfect shape. The machine is now working beautifully!

    Thank you for taking the time to post this. I can't believe you only have 768 likes ( at the time I'm liking this, 9 years after it was posted). I sure hope the RUclips community shows you some more appreciation.

    I am just starting my diagnosis so I do not have a repair made yet. But after watching your video I could only start the process by thanking you first. It is huge that good people like you take the time to help others from the high cost of outside repairs. We all know there are honest repair people out there, but like any industry it's the bad one's that make us all shudder from trying to discern one from another. Empowering ourselves is the true path. Without the knowledge that you have provided that path would be obscured and we would all be lost. At this time of holiday you are helping me to share more with my family. God bless you.

    I had a different error code F33, but it ended up being the exact same issue. The tubing had some wear on it and wasnt providing pressure anymore. $8 for replacement from a local autoparts store. Thank you so much for your video, it was exactly what I needed!

  • @nicolasaddington5381

    Thanks for the video, what did the trick for me was blowing out the flow meter (4:20).

  • @kenwaring1963

    I have a Maytag with this error code. Could not believe that your problem was as simple as a hole in the hose. Mine had the exact same problem. Put some tape over the hole as a temp solution for further testing. Solved the problem. Thanks for making this video, you really helped.

  • @georgebowers814

    Absolutely the best diy video for this washer. Mine turned out to be the same hose as yours, but not a pin hole. It was partially blocked but restricting flow enough to cause the error code.
    This entry is packed with good information that is well presented. Thank you for saving me a costly service call.

    I see quite a few comments are from many years ago. Well, the info contained in your video Houston is still valid.
    Have been getting an intermittent FH code for a few years but became worst over the last month. So, after watching your video I hauled the dryer off it and started following your advice. Turns out nothing was actually broken! The flow monitoring mechanism just needed to be shaken, drained and blown into. Seems it was a bit stuck, needed exercise!
    Also the water fill sensor seemed to have become lazy - had to exercise that by blowing into it a number of times until I could hear the micro switches engaging. Basically that was it, no more FH errors for the next six washes!!
    Oh and cleaning the toothpicks and dimes out of the trap by the pump was a good idea too
    So, many thanks for taking the time to document what you did to fix the washer. Much appreciated
    Merry Christmas

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. My washer was giving the failure code of F33, which apparently has something to do with either water pressure coming in, or perhaps the pump. Unfortunately once it was stuck in this code, nothing would get it out of the error mode, and the washer was locked shut with my girlfriends laundry in it :( Using your video I checked the items you mentioned, and all were good. So I reached up and unlocked the door manually, and tried it again. After fiddling around with the controls, it started giving an F11. This error I could cancel out of by pressing the cancel button for 3 seconds, and it seemed to reset to normal. I'm now running through the diagnostics you mentioned, and so far everything seems good. I believe the lesson to be learned is if you are on rural plumbing, don't take a bath at the same time you are doing laundry. I believe it may trigger the "low pressure" failure, and then a bug in the system keeps you locked in the failure mode.
    Now if I could only get rid of the infamous high-efficiency-washer-moldy-smell problem which all high efficiency washers of any make seem to have.
    Follow up: Dang, after getting it working again, it did the same thing on a real load. Maybe its over balanced? In any case the video was a big help in getting it out of the failure mode it was stuck in.

    @jot9011 6 лет назад +1

    Thanks!! This video was immensely helpful. I was able to find the problem with my machine using your instruction. Like someone who replied previously, my issue was a sock stuck in the drain pump...seems to be more common than one would think. After I removed the sock, I tried going through the cycle test but still got the FH error. I then disconnected the pressure switch from the tubing and made sure it was working by blowing into the end. Reconnected everything and re-tried the express cycle... This time the machine worked perfectly...no error! The low pressure from the sock must have somehow caused the pressure switch to lock up. Some have said just tapping on the pressure switch (with a screw driver) also will free it up. Thanks again....saved me the headache of dealing with shady repair guys and likely a bunch of money

  • @danielb.587
    @danielb.587 6 лет назад

    I started with the Error code FH then my control board went out a day or so later. Bought a new CB and the washer worked no error code for about a week. FH code came back so I opened the front and checked the drain to find a handful of coins( various denominations) A BIC PEN, and a big denim patch. Cleaned that out and it ran like new for about a month FH error code came back so im going to check the pressure switch now. Hopefully its just the hose. *fingers crossed*
    This video was way more informative than Sears Parts Direct people. THANKS DUDE!

    I bought a used set of this washer and a matching electric dryer with stands. When I hooked them up today, the dryer worked fine. However the washer was not supplying any water and the same errors popped up. In the absence of the owners manual and terrible support from sears, I played around different modes of cycles. Thank God, it worked eEventually, it worked.

  • @esar799
    @esar799 9 лет назад +6

    For public reference the test cycle, written, is:
    1) Hit cancel so display is dark
    2) Hit drain
    3) Spin speed to 'no speed'
    4) Hit prewash four times
    Cycles thru 8 steps

    @davidcarroll4850 11 лет назад

  • @KlasicRock
    @KlasicRock 5 лет назад

    Video really helped me. The other part that that black house is connected to. Not the piece with the red cap. The white part attached to the drum. Was caked with rust and dirt. I took it off. Cleaned it out and the machine is working like new again.
    This video is definitely recommended

    This was wonderful. I thought I was going to need a new washer as my family was going crazy with this one not working. No money for that. But your video saved me. I fixed it on my own, thanks to your instruction. That's a savings of over $700. Sleep well tonight buddy you earned it.

  • @davidmickle4466
    @davidmickle4466 9 лет назад

    Great video! I really liked the cycle test. After going through the check points, I still had an issue. Turned out to be the anti flood hoses to the water supply. In either case, I was able to isolate the problem because of your video. Standard repair charge: $60 for them to just pull in your driveway or $190 warranty that covers up $500 of costs. So you saved me $190...THANK YOU!!!

  • @hankl8823
    @hankl8823 9 лет назад

    What happened with mine was that it shook so bad that 2 bottom shocks came loose, hence unplugging the water temperature sensor at the bottom. I reattached the 2 shocks, plugged my sensor back in, and it went!

    Great Video, Houston. My husband and I have already cleaned our screens after watching the beginning of your video. Running a load now and then we'll use an Ohm meter and check the flow meter hose if that doesn't work. You did a great job on the video. You are a very intuitive teacher. Thank you. I hope that does it for us. :)

    @zg3075 10 лет назад +1

    Great video mines was doing the exact same thing a few seconds into the wash. it end up being the water flow meter/reed switch (comes together) apparently that is a common thing on these washers. easy fix!! .fyi if it gives you the error within a few seconds of the wash its going to most likely be the flow meter.

    Great video. Had a to wait because I did not have help to get our dryer from on top of the washer. Had sneaking suspicion that it was the hose. It was. The clamp holding the drain hose and it broke allowing the hose to chafe. Repair cost $2 for the hose. FYI the hose is Outside Dia 5/15 inside dia 3/16 and it is a vacuum line.

    If anyone else has the same issue with the pressure switch hose, I would recommend getting an exact replacement part from the manufacturer. Any aftermarket will probably work temporarily. However, they will most likely wear down over time, even if the hose is not rubbing on anything. Call any local parts distributor with your model number to get the exact replacement.

  • @esar799
    @esar799 9 лет назад

    Thank You! I was wondering how to test things; the Ohmeter visual helped.
    I'm not getting codes now but the washer's spinning too fast and long, causing scary vibrations. Cleaned the water trap of pen parts, all was well and then wasn't - hearing clacking when rotations get high -- that means the water pump's dying perhaps? When I reopen the water trap, water pours out from the *right*, which must be the water pump side? Sticking finger into water pump, it moves, with a slight pressure - i think that's OK ... how to tell if it's failing/failed?
    The info about cycling through steps is just *great* - I've seen that nowhere else. Much appreciated!!!
