Most commom occurance with this machine. Easy fix too. Doesn't mean that the machine isn't a complete POS, but at least it's one thing you can fix yourself. I've gone through 2 of these machines in 15 months, the second one flooded my laundry room and is going to the dump.
Thank you!!! The manual that comes with the washer doesn't tell you anything about the filter. It only tells you to check the drain hose. I only wish I'd have looked it up on here first. Could have saved me a lot of trouble. The "hidden" manual is only for "paid" service people apparently, that's messed up. A sock , a nickel, a barrette and a bunch of debris from washing bathroom rugs if anyone's keeping score.
thanks men it save me money. cuz im about to buy new one until i sawa ur vid and follow ur direction. thanks bro!!! i found alot of stuffs in there by the way lmao!!!
My Handy Man Fixed our washer today! :) Our culprit was money, screws, a toy tweazer, a pocket knife and good ol Victoria secret thong! WOW! The ammount of things in there! THank you for the video! It helped...my handy man laughed at your video, but we found the same thing, even more, making him laugh even harder about it! :)
Thank You , my wife had been asking me to fix the washer, it would not drain or spin, could not get it to go through a complete cycle, Kept getting a F-21 error. Found, one sock, a necklace and some s hooks in the drain, it is working fine now. Again thank you.
DUDE THANK YOU!!!!!! I WAS FREAKING OUT TILL I SEEN THIS VIDEO AND I KNEW THAT HAD TO BE THE PROBLEM. I FOUND ALMOST 4 DOLLARS WORTH OF CHANGE, OLD BUCKLE FROM SOMETHING AND A SET OF KEYS I LOST ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. YOU SAVED ME A BUTT LOAD OF MONEY.
Thanks for the vid, I fixed mine without having to pay $75 for a service call just to be embarrassed by just how easy a fix this is. My catch was not nearly as interesting as yours though.
Thanks for posting this video it was a on the top when I google searched my problem. I didn't have anything cool like a g-string or socks just about twenty bobby pins and about fifty cents in change, but did fix my problem.
This was soooo easy...except the part about finding the correct star head...it's a T20 for anyone who has already made 312 trips to the garage tool chest! Saved me about $130 for a service call! THANKS!
Oh, thank you soooooooo much for your video. Hubby works out of town occas. and now I am able to see how to do this on my own, I'm about to clean the drain pipe on our washer - this could be interesting since we have pets!!! Yikes!!
Lol - will post again if I find any thing out of the ordinary!!

Thank you sooooo much!! I have had my washer for 4 years and never knew that there was a filter to clean.
I just cleaned it out and found, 7 quarters, 8 dimes, 6 nickels, 20 pennies, 3 earrings, a fish hook (we dont even fish), a nail, a bolt, a fake ring, a safety pin, a zipper, a ciggerette butt, a stick, and several rocks. Now hopefully the washer starts draining, and just maybe our clothes will smell better!! So maybe it will be a win, win, win!!
omg!!! thank you so much for posting this video! I went right to my Whirlpool and opened up the front and found that the drain cup was plugged with my kids plastic pellets, a ball marker and two huge balls of hair. I cleaned it out and it works! Thanks again so much!
Wow! I'm feeling smart for myself! My hubby was having a Happy Father's Day so I took it upon myself to try to sort this out. I did so! Successfully even! My culprit was 5 grody children socks. Does anyone else periodically find socks and random riff raff under the rubber seal just inside the door? I wonder if that stuff is somehow getting sucked into the drain if you don't clean it out after every wash! What a load of garbage - serious design flaw if you ask me!
@askvarna Yup I find our kids socks there all the time, they are usually soaked. I give 'em a squeeze and throw them with the rest of the load into the dryer. Someone told me to throw all the small stuff into a laundry bag prior to putting the stuff into the washer to avoid it getting stuck in the drain trap. I laughed at that suggestion & realized that person must not have kids because I sure don't have the time to sort through the laundry to find and bag all that small stuff.
Thanks a ton!!! My wife is impressed I actually repaired something without breaking it! You also saved me the cost of a repairman. No lingerie, the culprit was a sock.
@rod1961m FPSRussia - awesome vids. i came across them not too long ago. I gotta get me one of those shirts! (I piss Excellence) lol..... sock / lingerie not much difference in the amount of material involved.
K.. awesome video.. I cleaned the filter out and alla that. Fixed the problem.. however, only thing missing (for us folks who have ABSOLUTELY no idea how to do anything) is how to remove the cover from the washer. Finally I figured it out and that took longer than actually unclogging the drain LOL. When I removed it, there was a wash cloth, tookpick, cigarette butt, hair, nails (that you hammer, not the ones on your fingers) and a few other built up grossies.. Seriously. THANKS A MILLION!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! After we cleaned out the filter, we stil received the F21 error so we unclipped the motor on the right of the filter (creamish-clear) from the filter surrounding (white) by turning it to the left and found the remainder of the shredded pencil. Thank you, thank you for making time to make this video.
@friotuber Did you not find the troubleshooting manual taped to the back of the cover you removed? All the codes are in that manual taped to the cover... if not I can tell you what the F-28 code is... but you'll have to wait 'cause I'm on my way out the door right now.... Later!!!
Thank you!!! You saved me a repair bill I so could not afford right now. Thank you so much! Oh and my husband is thrilled because I found his gold nugget necklace in the trap, lol.
@LOONZ83 There are 3 screws at the very bottom all face outwards from the front (from memory I believe they are 10mm in size) and depending what you have on the floor in front of the washer they could be difficult to access. on my washer the screw on the left was kinda pointing in a downward angle and made it difficult to access with my socket wrench, but I was still able to. Good luck!
Thanks for the video! I pulled 3 socks, a small dog's worth of hair, and 85 cents! Oh and I flooded my laundry room haha...there was a little more water coming out than I expected...
Still saved a ton compared to having a handyman come out to my house!
I found some change, and alot of stuffing that used to be in my dog's toy turtle that I washed last week :) Thank you for posting this video, it helped alot!!!!!
Very well done. A History Check shows I have watched 1,242 youtube videos, that is certainly in the top ten. It is informative with just the necessary info; the video and audio are clear; and, best of all, it turns out to be hilarious.
I will share that with friends who do not care for or about washing machines.
Good video. I found $7.70 (a $5 bill, 8 quarters, 3 dimes, 6 nickels & 10 pennies) plus 3 collar stays and pile of lint and dog hair... Wish I had harkened more of your advice about the towels... I had 4 ready and ended up using about 7 or 8!
@mayfly72 maybe even $81.79. The last guy that used this video said he was quoted $81 for the tech to just look at it !!!! and I'm guessing you pulled the 0.79 from the trap.
Cleaned ours today and found amongst a bunch of lint $3.10 (scored a twoonie), a Canadian flag pin, a headphone adapter and a USB stick--and it still works!
@ROADKNG1 there are 3 screws at the very bottom of the panel that is to be removed. one in the center and one on each side. they are hard to see and you'll have to get very low to the floor to see them. (sorry for the late response)
Hi. I am having the same issue. And Im thinking "thats where the socks are" makes sense now. Except that I can not figure out how to open the bottom. My hubby works far away please help. Also I cant get the door to unlock
@cntrylvns1 there are 3 screws at the very bottom of the panel that is to be removed. one in the center and one on each side. they are hard to see and you'll have to get very low to the floor to see them. (sorry for the late response)
@cntrylvns1 ....As to get the door to unlock. once you remove the bottom panel... taped to the inside is the troubleshooting guide. you may find your solution your door problem in the manual.
before i forget use a laundry bag for the small items like underware and chek you pockets coins are the worst lucky guy you did'nt a water pump after those coins get in there
Thanks for the video. One piece of advice, you may need to actually remove the hose from the downstream side of the pump, in back and give the pump a spin. I had something jammed in the pump and it wasn't until I performed this process 2 times unsuccessfully that I stuck my finger down the outlet and got the impeller turning and the pump was able to work again.
One last thing, a large plastic garbage bag under the drain will avoid spillage.
I love how americans suddenly come up with these side loaders and theres huge problems with them! european ones dont get socks in them because the drum is too close the the seal, they cant get through.
As james dyson said "Solve the obvious problems, what ever it takes"
(not dissing american style front loaders, i love me LG!)
@iwatchfunny - Actually I've only had the two problems the F21 and the waterfall both easily fixed, and a lot of people complaining and not saying goods things about them too. I love my washer/dryer combo. It sure beats the old way. People are too busy just replacing things instead of learning how they work and fixing them (and they're usually easy fixes).
@heli400 my friends had a repair guy come round for there dishwasher. calcium got clogged inside, and he said there was no nope. then he said "can i try somthing" and they said yes. He kicked it really hard and it fixed it!! it dislogged the calcium clog!
@iwatchfunny Yup! and back in high school we got a VCR donated from a VCR repair shop and it had a note taped to the top from one of their service techs and it stated "ir-repairable fault". We opened it up found a blown fuse, replaced it and it worked fine! Needless to say it went under. Lol
Thanks for the video - it solved my problem and saved me a call to the service man. My Whirlpool Duet isn't the "Sport" model, but the resolution was the same.
I'd like to add another tip: I used a wet/dry vac to suck up the water, and was able to suck even more stuff out of the drain pipe that hadn't yet made it's way to the filter (mostly because the filter was jam packed with stuff - two pairs of socks, a golf tee, and a bunch of rubber that flaked off the back of a rug)...
Thank you!! You saved me a few bucks! I had ALOT of water come out, so I used a baking pan that was small enough to fit under the drain, but deep enough to capture the water. Towels under the pan helped prevent too much water from getting all over the floor when I had to dump the pan. Two buckets later, the water stopped coming out of the drain. In the drain, I found money, candy wrappers, and a plastic sandwich bag.
Wow. Thank you. I was freaking out about having to call the repairman until I found your video. I opened the drain and found 2 socks, a broken pencil, a piece of chain and 32 cents!!! And YUCK!!!
THANK YOU! I have a regular Duet (not sport) and my drain was set further back. My machine also has the drawer under it. I got the drain out of the rubber bits that hold it down and then placed a flexible cutting board under it and made a sort of funnel that led to a bucket I placed in the drawer. This helped a lot! If it wasn't for your video I would have spent a TON of money that I don't have. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
You are a LIFE SAVER! I just fixed my washer by following this video. I found a chain dog collar, money, a couple screws, part of a throw rug, and some bobby pins.
Thanks for this tip...I'ved been ignoring my wife's complaints about 'sud' error and finally after 6 mos., the F21. She showed me your video, opened our duet and found 2 mismatched toddler socks, coins, ziplock bag and lint. Now, she can finish 1 load of wash in the normal 45 min time frame...which before it takes her almost 1.5 hrs. Thanks dude!
@pachec00 - Glad you were able to fix it! And.... Also note the troubleshooting manual is taped to that bottom panel. and hopefully you can fix any other error codes that may happen.

I see u fix how the hell did u wife thong get in drain n socks....Must went between gasket best see if gasket around basket not bad to.....well u did find money for tip.
@mark40511 I dunno, the wifey was super happy I fixed the washer, but not super happy that I didn't edit that part out ;) lol.
Actually: when we first got the washer we called a repair man in on warranty after only 8 months of owning it. One of our kids socks got caught in the rubber membrane between the door and the circular drum at approx the 10-11 o'clock position. and it caused the water to overfill in the soap compartment and we came home to a waterfall down the front of the washer!!!

Thanks as well! Whirpool ought to send you a small check for being their Virtual Service Man (You don't see their videos on the web!) Service is probably where they make their money..and aren't thinking about real customer service and satisfaction! Take care!
Thanks a million man. Hardest part of this job was getting those darn screws off. LOL!!!

@ROADKNG1 there are 3 screws at the very bottom of the panel that is to be removed. one in the center and one on each side. they are hard to see and you'll have to get very low to the floor to see them. (sorry for the late response)

Hi. I am having the same issue. And Im thinking "thats where the socks are" makes sense now. Except that I can not figure out how to open the bottom. My hubby works far away please help. Also I cant get the door to unlock

Thank you so much for posting this video. I would have never know how to fix it otherwise, I would had to have called a repair man.

Thanks for the video. One piece of advice, you may need to actually remove the hose from the downstream side of the pump, in back and give the pump a spin. I had something jammed in the pump and it wasn't until I performed this process 2 times unsuccessfully that I stuck my finger down the outlet and got the impeller turning and the pump was able to work again.
One last thing, a large plastic garbage bag under the drain will avoid spillage.

I love how americans suddenly come up with these side loaders and theres huge problems with them! european ones dont get socks in them because the drum is too close the the seal, they cant get through.
As james dyson said "Solve the obvious problems, what ever it takes"
(not dissing american style front loaders, i love me LG!)

@iwatchfunny - Actually I've only had the two problems the F21 and the waterfall both easily fixed, and a lot of people complaining and not saying goods things about them too. I love my washer/dryer combo. It sure beats the old way. People are too busy just replacing things instead of learning how they work and fixing them (and they're usually easy fixes).

@heli400 my friends had a repair guy come round for there dishwasher. calcium got clogged inside, and he said there was no nope. then he said "can i try somthing" and they said yes. He kicked it really hard and it fixed it!! it dislogged the calcium clog!
No thats how you fix things, =)

@iwatchfunny Yup! and back in high school we got a VCR donated from a VCR repair shop and it had a note taped to the top from one of their service techs and it stated "ir-repairable fault". We opened it up found a blown fuse, replaced it and it worked fine! Needless to say it went under. Lol

Thanks for the video - it solved my problem and saved me a call to the service man. My Whirlpool Duet isn't the "Sport" model, but the resolution was the same.
I'd like to add another tip: I used a wet/dry vac to suck up the water, and was able to suck even more stuff out of the drain pipe that hadn't yet made it's way to the filter (mostly because the filter was jam packed with stuff - two pairs of socks, a golf tee, and a bunch of rubber that flaked off the back of a rug)...

lismommy07 1 year ago
Thank you!! You saved me a few bucks! I had ALOT of water come out, so I used a baking pan that was small enough to fit under the drain, but deep enough to capture the water. Towels under the pan helped prevent too much water from getting all over the floor when I had to dump the pan. Two buckets later, the water stopped coming out of the drain. In the drain, I found money, candy wrappers, and a plastic sandwich bag.
I am very grateful! I love to save money.

THANK YOU! I have a regular Duet (not sport) and my drain was set further back. My machine also has the drawer under it. I got the drain out of the rubber bits that hold it down and then placed a flexible cutting board under it and made a sort of funnel that led to a bucket I placed in the drawer. This helped a lot! If it wasn't for your video I would have spent a TON of money that I don't have. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Thanks for this tip...I'ved been ignoring my wife's complaints about 'sud' error and finally after 6 mos., the F21. She showed me your video, opened our duet and found 2 mismatched toddler socks, coins, ziplock bag and lint. Now, she can finish 1 load of wash in the normal 45 min time frame...which before it takes her almost 1.5 hrs. Thanks dude!

@pachec00 - Glad you were able to fix it! And.... Also note the troubleshooting manual is taped to that bottom panel. and hopefully you can fix any other error codes that may happen.

@mark40511 I dunno, the wifey was super happy I fixed the washer, but not super happy that I didn't edit that part out ;) lol.
Actually: when we first got the washer we called a repair man in on warranty after only 8 months of owning it. One of our kids socks got caught in the rubber membrane between the door and the circular drum at approx the 10-11 o'clock position. and it caused the water to overfill in the soap compartment and we came home to a waterfall down the front of the washer!!!

Thanks as well! Whirpool ought to send you a small check for being their Virtual Service Man (You don't see their videos on the web!) Service is probably where they make their money..and aren't thinking about real customer service and satisfaction! Take care!
