When attempting to use the washer in standard more, the door locks (unlocks, then re-locks again). 'Suds' is then displayed while water enters the tub for about 30 seconds. 'Suds' keeps flashing for 3 - 4 minutes, nothing else happens during this time. Then the water drains. Then code F35 displays. Of course, I have been unable to locate any manuals describing the F35 code. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ready to Buy

What you have is exhibit A with respect to the newer front loading machines. When they work, they are great, when they do not, well, you know as well as we do.

This is such a new machine that I have not worked on one, and I doubt if any of the other techs who volunteer to respond have much experience. I cannot tell you about your error code, but the SUDS display generally means a problem with the pump.

You can replace the pump, purely on speculation and hope that fixes it, but other than that I cannot give you much guidance. There is also a great history on door lock problems with this model in general, so you might be looking at that as well.

Sorry I could not be more definitive (welcome to the world of computer diagnostics) Good luck and let us know what you do.

Whirlpool Duet Washer Fault Codes

It shows F35
scroll down to the bottom of the list under steam washer
F35ANALOG PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURE
If this failure is displayed, there is any malfunction of the steamer component detected by the Steamer Electronic Board.
1. Check if pressure hose is fi xed correctly.
2. Check if the airtrap is not blocked.
3. Check if the hose is not blocked

I'm no repair technician but it is better than just saying it is junk.

This thread is fairly old has anyone come up with a solution to the washer code f35. If I unplug my washer and restart it will run several loads without giving me the code and then for no reason or certain setting it will stop and I will get the f35 code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My washer did the same, but then stopped working completely with F35 code. Tried unplugging, didn't work. Just had repairman out, Analog steam switch needs to be replaced at cost of $300. Guess this is a common occurance with the steam model. Hope that helps.

Thank you. We did find out the same thing. My husband replaced the part so it saved considerable amount of money. I appreciate your reply.

Where is the analog steam switch located? How did you determine that was the bad part? Did you have a repair manual? Where did you get it? Thanks!

I have the F35 error and am having the repair man come on 9/11. I am hoping the issue is what you state and it should be covered under warrenty. Does this fix the probelm?

My Whirlpool Duet Steam washing machine used to run for a couple of minutes, then it would say SUDS on the display, and then it would display error code F35. To fix this, I removed and replaced the analog pressure switch located under the top cover panel in the back right corner of the washer (as viewed when standing in front of the washer looking down at the top). I called the Whirlpool customer service 1-800 number that I found in my washer's instruction manual to order the switch. The part number of the switch is: W10156252. The model number of my Whirlpool Duet Steam washer is: WFW9600TW01. I paid a total of $89 for the switch and overnight FedEx shipping.

What I learned in the process:
1. The "Analog Steam", and "Analog Pressure", switches that everyone speaks of are the same thing (at least according to the customer service representative with whom I spoke).
2. I read somewhere that you can determine if the switch is broken by blowing into it and listening for a click. Allegedly, if no sound can be heard the switch is broken. This is not true!! The broken switch on my washer did not make a sound when I blew into it, but neither did the new switch that I received from Whirlpool (which ended up fixing the washer).
3. The customer service representatives will barter on the price of the switch!

Hope this post helps you remove and replace your bad Analog Pressure switch. I tried to upload a labeled photograph of the washer and switch but this site would not cooperate.
