I am getting iintermittent F02 long drain error codes. Following direction, I checked the trap, it was clear and the pump input hose did not feel like there was anything in it I replaced the trap and the machine ran fine for a few loads. When it happend again, I noticed that the input hose had collapsed just before the pump /trap inlet. This tells me that the pump is fine, sice it can pull a vaccum and colapse the hose. I have ordered a new tub to pump hose, assuming that the colappsing is due to age. Is there anything else I should look at?

Jay,

I take for granted you've done the basic checks, kinked drain hose, clogged pump or tub to pump hose.

Another possibility is,

A clogged air dome hose or sticky pressure switch,

Part number: AP3128700
Part number: AP3128700


Part number: AP4310571
Part number: AP4310571


If the hose is kinked or clogged with debris, it won't reset in the proper amount of time and give a F code.

You may want to blow through the hose from the switch side and make sure it's clear.

:) :) :)

I have checked the trap: clean. Stuck my finger into the pump and I was able to rotate it with relative ease so it is not clogged. The drain hose is not kinked. I have squeezed the tub to pump hose and felt no blockage in the hose. I have ordered a new tub to pump hose because I don't trust it's integerity because of age and being colapsed. The problem is intermittent, so it could be a 'floating' piece of debris in the pressure switch hose. I will blow it out as suggested. Tha machine has not moved since we bought it, and has worked flawsly until recently, so I doubt it is kinked. Thanks for the quick reply and the suggestion of blowing out the hose, rather than a blanket replace switch and hose.

J,

Sounds like you've got everything covered, now.

I'm sure you'll handle it from here, but let us know what you find.

Good Luck,
:) :) :)

I found the problem! After removing the tub to pump hose and finding nothing it it, I stuck my hand up the tub opening and pulled out a very wet, very chewed up neoprene knee brace that must of gotten inadvertently put in the washer that found it's way overboard and was to big to work it's way down the hose. It partially blocked the hole enough to cause the pump to pull a vacuum and collapse the hose. I replaced the hose and redid all of the clamps with standard hose clamps. Problem solved!

J,

I had a feeling,something like that was the cause,

I figured you'd find it.

Great job,
