Kenmore Elite smartwash QuietPak9 F H error code
This freaking F H error code is driving me crazy! It appears the water is flowing correctly, I have taken off the hoses and made sure they are clear, but now can't do a single load of clothes without this error code coming on. I read in an earlier solution of a sensor that may have calcium buildup. The solution also stated by taking the top off this washer and locating the sensor and tapping on it, that this may work. Help! I really do not want a repairman to come out on something that may be simple to do.

Press the Pause/Cancel button twice to clear the display then check if water is introduced into the machine. Drain the water from the machine by selecting Drain and Spin then pressing the Start button for one second. Empty the machine after the water is completely drained.
Start a new cycle with Hot/Cold water temperature and check how long before the error code appears after the cycle is started. When the code appears, press the Pause/Cancel button to clear the display then check again if water is introduced into the machine.
The pressure switch is not tripping and must be replaced if the error code appears about 8 minutes after the cycle is started and about 40 liters of water is introduced into the machine.
