My Duet Steam washer is pissing me off. It’s always thrown the occasional F21 error, and that was usually rectified by clearing the drain pump trap.
About three weeks ago, the washer upped it’s game, and is throwing F21, SUDS, and F35 errors at me, no obvious pattern. Probably every other load or so. It REALLY slows up the productivity. We have reasonably soft water, and we’ve always used much less than the recommended amount of HE soap. Powdered, if you’re interested.
So, thus far, I can tell you the following about my washer, and my attempts to clear it of its demons:
[LIST]
*]The screen on the cold water hose is clean and never clogged.
*]The air intake is clear.
*]The drain pump has been removed, cleaned, including the impeller.
*]The drain hose is clear. The pump drains the tub in about a minute.
*]The house drain is clear.
*]The rubber boot between the drum and the drain pump has been removed, inspected, and cleared of any junk. There was a stick in there, and a wad of hair. Stick was interfering with the ball float.
*]The Analog Pressure Sensor has been replaced with the latest correct part.
*]The hose connected to the APS has been blown out, but not replaced. Seems healthy, but hard to get to the bottom end of it in my house.
*]The various wiring harnesses have been jiggled.
*]The general diagnostic has been run, and is currently passing with flying colors.
*]The Steam test is a great big YES.

All to no avail. What’s next? What have I overlooked? I’ve heard stories of the main logic board having leaky capacitors, and have also seen that one intrepid owner replaced them on the existing board, and that solved the problem, but that seems like a long shot. BTW, is that the board in the front top right side, or the one in the top middle of the right side?
I thought for sure it was the APS, but evidently not. Open to suggestions.
