Bro, you had a full sanding disk in there... tough to blame that one on the wife and kid. LOL

Thank you. I fixed my issue, thanks to this video. All the way in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

This is a life saver. Thanks for posting such a detailed and simple video. I haven't cleaned this out in almost 8 years and I pulled out a bra pad, a sock and face mask.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to show us how to find the filter on this stupid washer lol You did what Google couldn't so you sir are our hero🦸🏽‍♀️ as my hubby is a car mechanic not a washer mechanic lol You have a new subscriber here!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Ty! Saved me $125 by following this guide versus calling a service tech. Worked perfectly, except mine had 4 plastic clips that also needdd to be removed to remove the back panel

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I hope every task you do works seamlessly in perpetuity and you never lose your footing on ice. You are a kind and generous human for sharing with us 🥰

Thanks! Solved my issue in about 30 min.

Thanks man. It worked for me. In my case there was a foamy bra cup stuck in the filter from the previous owner. If she had big ones, there would be no need for fake foamy fillers and ultimately no filter issues. Big ones all the way.

So very helpful and informative! Thank you

Your tutorial is incredible! It resolved my issue. Disturbing to see two pairs of women’s thong undies and a sock. Wow! Thank you so much!!!!

These washers are junk. Mine has been nothing but a problem since I bought it 5 years ago. Never really worked.

Grooooss. Thanks. You just saved me the cost of a new washing machine. Good on you, mate.

Thank you so much for this. I feel like a real man! FYI. For those having trouble loosening the filter, take the rubber handles of pliers between and use it to twist it. After turning about a quarter you can use your hands

Thanks for this. 5 years later and had to do this today lol

BTW, is there like cover that needs to be put on the filter before inserting back in place ? Thank you

Thank you Sir, I have the exact same models and the same error codes, I will now fix it .. Great stuff!!

This was very very helpful and perfectly explained how to fix the problem! Seems like bra pad inserts and dog hair are bad for the filter :)

Our washer is in the garage, and looks aren't important. We cut a hole in the front panel to access the filter easier for regular cleaning. We have a dog rescue, that poor washer gets tons of loads of towels and blankets that have hair, kibble, and everything else imaginable. I clean the filter every month, and we still occasionally have it clog up in between. Sometimes the door lock will jam and unplugging won't always reset it. When that happens, i go in from the top and reach down to find the white loop, pull it, and open the door while it is pulled. Most machines have the loop on top, but for some reason, mine is underneath, but can still be activated from the top. We also have a lot of problems with the door boot slipping off the inner ridge when there is an unbalanced or very heavy load. Our machine is a royal pain to reinstall the boot and that stupid spring!!! Would love to get a Speed Queen commercial front loader, but have never found one for sale used and the new ones are way out of our budget. Thank you for your great video!❤❤

Thank you! You saved us! Mine was clogged - and I found a big old black widow.

Great video. Thank you for the work!

Thank you so much!! We had this exact issue tonight, and it was an easy fix thanks to your video!

I checked the drain filter and drain hose, and everything was clean. I'm still getting the error message occasionally. Maybe the motherboard is going bad or the drain pump on my unit.

Thank you! We have had ours for 9 years and never cleaned that filter! I found 15 coins and some hair pony tail bands. After cleaning it out and assembling it back together it had no error and worked great. I will be checking that filter more often!

Thanks for the video. Ours was an easy fix. We started having standing water in our boot that got smelly. We have a shop vac and I used it to remove the water and to suction the drainage holes in the bottom of the boot. They probably had gunk in them collect over time. My wife used a QTip to further clean the drainage holes. I poured a kettle of hot water in it, and everything seems to be draining again. BTW, we had already cleaned the trap/filter, but remember to do that if you're trying to give everything a good clean. Best wishes.

Exactly what our issue was! Fixed! A big Thank You!

Awesome! Thank you

I had a customer that literally cut a hole in the bottom front panel and fabricated as hinged door

Extremely helpful video. Easy instructions paired with well-lit video. Well done.

Thank you, very helpful video!

Can’t thank you enough for posting this video. My husband and I are not the best at DIY repairs but this one was easy thanks to you!

Was a lot harder getting the washer away from the wall and getting the back panel off. I drained some of the water and then decided to try and let the washer drain itself after ten bowls of water (had started a load). Seems to be spinning and draining just fine. I’ll check the filter after it stops and see what’s going on. Not sure why it’s working just fine now but wasn’t a few minutes ago? Messed up my whole wash cycle.

Thank you thank you! I called a repair man in January, four months ago, and it was $160 house call to clean the drain. He didn’t find much, but I was happy to have a working washing machine again. This morning I started a small load and am getting this error again! Instead of paying another $160 I am going to check it myself. I’m a single mom and don’t bring home that much. I also have a dryer belt going out and he said it would be $250+tax. I found a maintenance kit for $25 on Amazon and am going to change out the belt and rollers myself. My blower motor went out on my Toyota sienna and I’ve only had it for 3 months (it’s used) and a friend showed me how to change it out. Saved me hundreds of dollars!! I’m so thankful for videos like this and I am subscribing!! ❤

Can it be removed?

Thank you for posting this - was thinking i would need to call a technician but decided to google it first and so glad i found you - i was able to handle this easily myself and get the washer working like a charm again! Appreciate it!

You should enable the super thanks where people can send you money. I’d love to send a few dollars your way for all the money you just saved me!

Thank you so much! You saved us the money of having to call the repair company!

If this doesn’t do the trick double check your external and internal hose there could be a build up in them as well. This is routine maintenance for me at the facility I work at.

I'm having this error now, cleared the filter, took the pump apart, motor tests good.Blow the discharge line out next?

thank you, sir! you have done a great service to all whirlpool owners

My is F5, F3 error is a locked door mechanism not working. This happen at beginning and can’t open door, it keeps kicking.

As others have mentioned, being an engineer and not providing a service door is astonishing. I have one of their refrigerators that they want you to buy a 1500$ door to replace a broken wire harness. Going with LG next. Great vid

Had the same error code but was surprised my filter was clean and did some further checking. Found that the drain hose was clogged. This was located where the plastic holding bracket that bends the hose towards the tub. I had removed the bracket and tried to straighten the hose and was amazed that it broke off some large chunks of liquid detergent buildup inside the hose. I bought a new hose and re-routed the hose without using the same holding bracket. When I connected the hose to the washer I made sure the hose was straight with a slight angle downwards toward the drain tub. The end of the hose was bent 45 to 90 deg angle downward along with zip ties to keep everything in place. This will prevent any future clogs/buildup of detergent water just sitting in the hose. Working perfect.

Oh no… we’ve had our washer MUCH longer than 1 year. I’ve on a mission to clean it now that I know I need to!

Thank you so much! Your video was so helpful and easy to fix my washer with the help of my daughter.

Thank you for this! Have been getting this error with EVERY load last few days- This makes total sense. Video shows exactly what to do- how to address- makes me feel like EVEN I can handle this! 👏👏👏we shall see!

Bro you a beast for this

Thanks for your video, help me to fix my washing machine.

This video and many of the comments are such a blessing to me tonight. Bravo!

Thank you so much!
