Whirlpool Washer F9 E1 Error Code

Asked by: Bill Johnson on August 30, 2024

Hi, I have a Whirlpool washer, model WTW5000DW1, that is showing the F9 E1 error code. I have tried resetting by unplugging and plugging it back in, but the error persists. Can you provide guidance on what this error code means and how I can fix it?

Answered By: MasterTech

The F9 E1 error code on a Whirlpool washer indicates a drain pump system issue. This error is typically caused by a clogged drain pump filter, blocked drain hose, or a faulty drain pump. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the F9 E1 error:

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide:

  1. Check the Drain Hose: Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or clogged. A blocked hose can prevent proper water drainage and trigger the error code.
  2. Inspect the Drain Pump Filter: Locate the drain pump filter, usually at the bottom front of the washer. Remove any debris or lint that may be obstructing the filter. Clean it thoroughly before reinserting it.
  3. Examine the Drain Pump: If the hose and filter are clear, the drain pump itself may be faulty. Listen for unusual noises or check for blockages. If the pump is damaged or not functioning, it may need to be replaced.
  4. Reset the Washer: After checking the hose, filter, and pump, try resetting the washer by unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.

If the F9 E1 error persists after these steps, most likely you need to replace the drain pump. The drain pump for washer model WTW5000DW1 can be ordered from the link below.
