F21 Error Code On Washing Machine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- F21 error code has come up twice in four years on our machine. Both times we had baby socks stuck in drain filter at the bottom of the washing machine. To unclog it, remove the bottom panel and hand twist off the white cylindrical filter in the center and front.
Make sure you have a plan for the water which may come out. Remove whatever is causing the clog and put it all back together and you're back in business for another ~4 years! Or you can stop having kids so you don't have to unclog baby socks.

We fixed our F-21 code on washer and with seven people doing laundry in our house we plan on regular maintenance thanks to your video. Thank you!
That is fantastic Perry!! Thanks for the feedback, very motivating. 🤙
Fixed our washer and made my parents proud thanks to you! Underestimated how much water would come out tho 😂😂
oh gosh, yes there's a ton of water. Well done Omar!
I am a Mama of 4 and this saved me so much money and heartache. You are definitely appreciated. It worked! Thanks again!!!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for posting that I really appreciate people like you who do that sort of thing to help others
Awesome, thank you Cameron!!
How often do you read comments. Please need some help
I wanted to thank you soooo much for posting this video! Your washer is the only make model video I could find! My hubby washed the dog bed and didn't shake it out so we had tons of dog hair also a baby sock. I was spending soooo much $$$ at the laundry mat. I finally got P.O.ed enough and fixed it myself thanks to you.
Glad I could help!!
Yes, I am also appreciative! You have the same Duet as I do... had been looking up the generic error code, but didn't want to open the back and not find the part. You made it easy ~ Thank you! 🙇♀️
We had the F21 error code on our Maytag washer. I just followed along the video. Removing the cover at the bottom on the washer was a pain but this video clearly helped us save $400+ service call. Make sure you don't have any clothes and any water in the washer when cleaning the drain. Thank you for posting the video with such details.
Glad it helped Pandia!
Thanks for the quick fix bro! I thought the hardest part about it, was getting the DAMN bottom panel back on. Other than that, everything worked out smooth! NO MORE F21 CODES EITHER!!!
Super glad I worked for you!
Your video helped my husband and I get our washer working again. Thank you very much!!
Glad I could help Rhonda!
You saved me an hour of work. I thought I would have to get behind my washer but it was the same as yours. found a baby sock 5 coins, a sponge (what was left of it, a plastic bracelet and bobbie pin :)
Excellent! WOW! that's a treasure chest!
Thanks 🙏 Sir !!
We got that F21 problem!! Now I know how to do by Your Kindness Helping!!
Have A Great Day and Great Life, Dear Friend!!
Thanks 🙏…. Thanks 🙏 Sir !! I just fixed successfully the exactly problem You showing on !!
Thanks 🙏 Again… and again!!
Thanks, you too!
That was oddly relaxing to watch. The guitar and banjo just make it more so. Thank you for the mid-afternoon pseudo siesta.
Thanks, that's exactly what I was going for!
@@kove Hey I was about to write to ask you the name of the song. I absolutely LOVE it! Can you give it to us?
@@soccerupamerica5686 fresh fallen snow, I can’t recall the artist right now
@@kove You are starting trouble now. I was not thinking about it and it's been what over a year. So reluctantly (actually with joy) I looked it up on UA-cam and Yep you starting trouble all over again. Really, that song takes me to places I have NOT been in a long time. Well not since I heard it before the pandemic on your Dryer Video and guess what - PROBLEM STILL SOLVED. YOU ARE DA MAN!
We found a Pirates Bounty in that Dryer. I means keys; socks; Jewelry and many other things.....I thank you sir. I love it and your response was a gift from GOD. It was on time, each and every time! Now if I could just stop listening to it! Please send me that UA-cam Video because I need help! LOL!
One other blessing! I started a Soccer Company called:
www.SoccerUpAmerica.com
and I am now making Explainer Videos and guess what I was looking for months ago. A nice song to use for our Videos. Well there you go again. I will share the video with you when it's completed.

Thank you for sharing this! My only critique is not showing what the screw that was in the bottom of the washer was. I couldn’t figure out what to use and then I played the video back and heard you what to use with the drill but the music did a crescendo right then so the words were obscured. And some advice because of experience- I have had this issue with the f21 code 3 times and twice it was socks stuck in the drain. I bought mesh laundry bags for socks and small items and I haven’t had the problem since. This time it was latex glove. Mesh bags have saved me fear of losing a mate as well. Thanks for the video!!!
Shoot, I missed that! They are hard to spot. Great idea for the laundry bags, going to try that with our kids socks!
Thanks for posting this video! We have the exact same washer/dryer pair and was glad to find this easy fix. We bought them new in 2007 and never knew that was a thing with the washer. Another UA-camr gave me a fix to the dryer a couple of years ago. Both still running strong now!
Awesome William!
Look, I loved the way you were handling everything. Some people just goes knowing what to do, even they cut their mistakes, but you my friend, got me laughed and make me see myself on you. Thank you very much. “Down to Earth”. I would like and continue watching your channel.
I appreciate that Carlos!!
Dang bro your buff 💪 😉
Cup hooks. I ordered a new pump but those socks look like the problem. Shop around if pump is needed because price$ vary plenty.
Good family video! Nice🎶
Thanks for the tips Richie!
Not even a match! 😂 3 more for the lost and found board.
I’ve always heard the dryer was the sock stealer BUT, I think sometimes the sheets are the guilty party and the dryer gets framed!!
I couldn't believe 0 for 3 matches! One thing is certain; the washer is better, It's first and cleans the cloths!
Koven Carlson
The dryer is better! It makes the clothes silky and dry
Thanks liven, seems that drain plug was it. I had two socks a hair tie, a snap battery and some string. Another repairman bill saved!! Keep it up.
Koven. Darn spell correct.
Glad it helped Keegan! It's amazing how much is in there. Feels great to diy and save that $!
I just wanted to stop by and say that this video saved me a lot of money . Thank you 🙏🏾,, but now my dryer is not heating ,,, any videos for that ???
Always love to hear it! Good job and thanks!
I just want you to know that I referred to this video today, not because I was having the error code but because we've been missing socks lately. There ended up not being any socks but it sure was dirty so it was worth taking it apart and cleaning it. 👍
ha, no way! Crazy. I've found a bunch in the lip/water seal as well.
@@kove we typically only find them around the rubber gasket that goes around the door.
I have walked this road. In fact when you were pulling the hose and the spring clamp kept giving you trouble, I had the fight the urge to reach in and give you a hand. Intense.
Lol, the clamp was a PITA. An extra hand would have been great!
Thank you for sharing. I just removed three toddler socks. I appreciate your help. Working great now!
Great to hear Hayley!
I had the same problem. Thanks to this video it’s now fixed. Thanks man!
Good to hear!
Same thanks man
@@TeamGamingBro awesome, love to see it helped some folks!!
Dude u just saved me from buying a second washer. My mother's washer when out and was more expensive to fix it than it was to buy a new one. Now ours when out and yeah not can't do....
I did this and it's washing line new!!!!!!
Awesome to hear! Well done, feels great to save a $$!
Thanks for your post it was very helpful for me to get my washer machine running again thank you Brian
Glad to help, take care Brian!
What's my man! I followed your video to the the T it was so helpful. Thank you. It was a sock too plus a pen cap. I also got drenched in water 😆 🤣 😂 💧 🚰 🚿
Glad it helped! Lol, yeah plumbing water seems to always get on you or everything else😆.
Thank you so much! Just got mine cleaned out with the help of your video. Found a baby sock, a dryer sheet, and a Nerf bullet! Those things were collecting all kinds of sediment. It's working again though Thank you so much!
Oh, I found lots of goodies. Still bought a new washer but will keep the old one too.
Great! Never know when you'll need two washers ;)
Worked like a charm for me... thank you so much!
Glad it worked David, welcome!
Great video - I am hoping this corrects my problem too. I would highly recommend adding a step to shut off the power at the breaker before trying this. The drained water on washer frame and floor is a potential shock hazard with the appliance still energized. Maybe add a banner message in the beginnning of the video?
Yep, that would be a safer way to do it now you mentioned it. Thanks for your input Peter!
@@kove On second thought, a better option might be to simply have the user unplug the washer from the outlet 😉. Sometimes breaker panels are not marked well, or at all.
thank you for this clip, this helps me to unclog my washer.
Awesome! Great to hear
We have the same washer I believe so I will keep this in mind if I ever have this problem!
Baby-sock do do dododod
Kovan, this was very helpful as I have the samsung washer. I havent had the problem but I know what to do. I will have the shop vac ready for the water that comes out. I don't have a drain in the room
Thanks Grace! My shop vac may be the most useful tool, thing always saves the day!
Thanks man I need this video!
NP, Glad it helped!
Thanks a lot
Its working now
I got a chain, loonies, tonies, quaters, baby socks... igot rich
😅
Likely many people will be saved from an expensive service call thanks to this video. Bravo. As a practical joker, I'd be tempted to hide a kid's shoe or the wife's keys in that trap if they are the type who lose these things regularly. Or put a rubber snake in the trap and have your son help you clear that trap as a memorable teachable moment.
😂 hilarious Tommy. I may do this and put a plastic spider in there!
😲 no!!
Thank you for sharing your time with us! Very helpful. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you ! Woohoo machine up and running!
glad you liked it!
Problem solved - thank you!
Glad it helped, welcome!
Thank you for sharing the size tip i needed to take the panel off. It saved a ton of time.
Glad the helped out, sometimes I leave out size, I won't anymore 😉
Thank you for this amazing video!!
your welcome!
You saved me a lot of money.
Very helpful video thank you 😊
Glad you found it helpful Elizabeth!
Thank you for the video, I fixed my washer
Glad it helped
Thanks that fixed my washer.
Awesome William!
Thanks! Now I know the drain of the 3000 series is located in the front, and I know what drowning sounds like!
lol, glad it was helpful!
Thank You! All better now!
Great, good to hear!
Very helpful, thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey bro love your stuff. I'm SoCo STL. Cardinals playoffs!!! Flaherty, Goldy, YADI, Waino, Blues next week....watchout! STL on the map again, not like we left though, Nelly will tell ya. Unrelated to this vid, but wanted to ask...how do you like Mazama? I'm doing a partial reno in the back. I have some SPF-30 KBG thats supposed to be a Texas bluegrass/KBG hybrid. but also have Mazama. I threw down the SPF-30 on my hell strip just because its on a busy street and my backyard is like most peoples fronts. Zoysia is 95% of whats around my area (along with Fescue, which I dont personnally like). Zoysia is probably old school 60's stuff (meyer) but looks good when its treated right. Hittin it with humic, kelp and my own little concoction, (you know how clay is). Our high and low temps are pretty drastic, along with humidity, so basically what I'm asking is... you think you'll be happy with Mazama? It looks really good so far. My mowers are nothing special, but I'd like to go low, as of now using a combo Lawn Boy rotary with a fiskars stay sharp push reel where possible. I dont have Connor Wards lawn budget! haha. I'd love a powered reel! Someday....Fellow St. Louis....Thanks for your service brother!
ua-cam.com/video/Y5qKNlcUwKs/v-deo.html
Let's Go Cards! 😆 Funny thing tonight, we ate at Pastaria in Clayton, found out the Cards were going there to have fun after hours! Wish we could have stayed longer!
You'll love Mazama, and cut around 1.5-2" will do real good here. My second spring hell strip reno I cut longer. It will also do good shorter with slightly more attention.
Another thing to consider is i added and mixed in sand to my st Louis clay.😉
@@soilshepherd4395 btw, thanks man! Here's a link to my lawn journal with the renovation status as of today.
thelawnforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5204&start=200
@@kove Thanks bro. That side of my backyard I'm gonna test with straight mazama. Yeah I saw your vid 3:1 topsoil /sand. I nail everything with humic. (sold on that stuff). Getting 8 yards delivered from STL compost Fenton. 70% river bottom soil, we know thats orange, with black gold compost 30%. Following your lead brother! If it fails or looks s*&^tty....haha jk its the transition zone,,,where nothing thrives, but almost all of it works!
Thank you so much for the video. Really help me out.
Glad it was useful!
Thank you for this I fix my thanks to you
Glad it helped!
Excuse me by chance you do not know what year is this WFW9400SW02 washing machine model or what year and how many years did it last for production? look the same model as yours
I don't, sorry Jesus.
My washer sets low does that make a difference
i tightened it up as much as I could then put the panel on. leaving it unplugged to reset the panel and then try washing everything
What kind of drill are u using
It's a ridgid drill. It just happened to be the best deal on the market when I bought it. I think most brands are very good.
I came to fix my washer and learned i'm a baby sock; alone and can't find my love.
Sadly, not all stories end happy ;)
Thanks your Name is "Tylenol". Save me a lot of pain.
😉 thanks, glad it was helpful!
The fact that the washer allows anything but water into the drain lines tells me it’s a poor design
Good point
Thank you so much! I fixed it all by myself!
And nice veins! 😂
-Newly Single Mom, and RN!
Glad it helped, and thank you!
Excellent.. thank you
You're welcome 👍
Thank you so much for this video! I was able to fix it myself! No socks but some kind of material was in it. I think a bra pad lol!
Glad it helped Anita!
Thanks for the video
Glad it helped a bit!
P.s I had to run and buy sockets because I didn't have the one I needed and I pulled the package open and ripped my finger open. My day sure started crappy.
Ouch, sorry to hear! Hope you eventually got it handled..
The 3 screws are ot easy to get off especially the middle one
Thank you!
You're welcome Samantha
Thank you
You're welcome!
Ugh, I only cleaned the filter and didn't check hose. Could be why the code is still showing.
Yep, that got me one time too.
Thank you!!!!!!
Glad to help :)
Lingerie bag is great to put little socks in, in the washer and dryer. Now I have to figure do that to my washer. OMG a flood! I will be ready for it.
Good idea!
You could have a fan club. The Koven Coven. Or does that sound too dark?
#kovencoven
haha, I love it!
So I had a employee come out tech and he told me the quote for a door lock and motor control board I replace both of those and my clothes are still wet and they tell me it’s the pump I replace the pump it doesn’t work anybody have ideas for a Maytag 4000 series and it’s not spinning hard either and the estimated time remaining stays there for couple minutes per minute if that makes sense let me know, please
Sorry to hear Chris, that is more complex than I know how to fix. Hope you figure it out frugally.
That's not a bracelet 🤣
Legit thought it was a friendship bracelet. I shutter even thinking about it. XD
@@kove friendship with the sudge monster who hides in the washer 😂
My vote is that it was a fishing leader
i would suggest next time that you unplug the machine first for safety!
When you're right, you're right. And you're right. 👆
Try doing this without a drill. Very hard. T20 with drill
My F-21 was due to the dead drain pump.
Was there anything else lodged in there to cause that may have contributed to the pump failure?
Rip Mike.
😄 served valently
Yo quiero un esposo así que arregle todo 😒😔
Cuando encuentres una, ¡asegúrate de mostrarle aprecio!
Thanks man! You made it look so easy I made my wife do it lol JK

Aw-dg1700wm. E22 fault how i repair
