Error Code: FH Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: A general fault code.
How to Fix FH Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washer for safety before working on any connections.
- Check that both the hot and cold water faucets connected to the washer are fully turned on.
- Turn off the water faucets and disconnect the water inlet hoses from the back of the washer.
- Inspect the small filter screens inside the water inlet ports on the washer itself. Use a small brush or needle-nose pliers to gently remove and clean any sediment or debris.
- Place the end of each hose into a bucket and turn the water on to check for strong, steady water flow. If flow is weak, the issue is with your home’s plumbing.
- If water flow is good and the screens are clean, the water inlet valve on the washer has likely failed and is not opening to let water in. This part will need to be replaced.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
