Whirlpool Washer FH Error Code

Error code FH
Appliance Washer

FH on a Whirlpool front loader reports that water is not arriving in the quantity the washer needs, or not arriving at all.

Stop the cycle first

Tap PAUSE/CANCEL a pair of times to end the running cycle. After that, unplug the washer or otherwise take away its power.

Three things to inspect

  • Are the hot and the cold faucets turned on all the way?
  • Are the screens at the point where the inlet hoses join the washer free of clogs?
  • Are the hoses carrying the incoming water straight, with no kinks?

Washers covered
