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.
- Check if pressure hose is fi xed correctly.
- Check if the airtrap is not blocked.
- Check if the hose is not blocked
I’m no repair technician but it is better than just saying it is junk.

Just purchased compressor part number 8201558 from you people and i see the discharge, suction and charge ports on the new compressor. My question is on the bottom of the new compressor there are 2 ports for connection to something and my old compressor does not have them. What do I do with them?

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:
- 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).
- 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).
- 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.
I had the same issue with the F35 error code and waited 3 weeks for the new pressure sensor to arrive after multiple complaints to the servicing company. I replaced the sensor and received the same error code. I then blew through the black rubber tube connected to the sensor to ensure it was clean. I then started the wash cycle and blew hard into the sensor inlet for about 10 seconds. I received the "suds" error which was new for me. I then reset the machine and started the cycle again. Everything worked. We’ll see for how long on this tempermental machine.

Need picture or diagram of where to find analog switch, is there a web site to view?? help please
We have the Whirlpool wfw9500tw washer and have had it 2 1/2 yrs now and finally got the dreaded f35 message!!! going to take the repair guy a week to get out here so we have to wash clothes elsewhere…Maybe we should have stuck to the trusty old top loaders but we spent $3400 for the pair and thought we were getting a good product!!! After these finally quit for good we’ll g back to the top loaders!!! :o(
Sorry, I don’t have any pictures. It’s easy to find. It’s the only switch located in the under the top panel in the back right corner (viewed standing in front of washer, from top looking down).
Once I had the part it took me about 15 minutes to install and put the panels back on. I realize it’s an inconvenience, but for $89 dollars I think replacing a switch every two years is worth the superior performance of the front loading washing machines.
Guys, I am a woman. I’ve removed the old sensor and trying to put the new one in place. Struggling with this cursed thing for 30 min now. It doesn’t fit! Oh I am not putting it right. Can anyone send a picture how it has to go? Oh may be a link to a manual? Help!!
I fixed my own F35 problem. I have a Whirlpool Duet Steam washer that was
giving me the following codes; SUD, followed by F35. I called Whirlpool directly and followed their
instructions. "Run Several rounds of Affresh in the Clean Washer cycle." That didn’t work.
I still got the error codes. My next step was to have the
repair technician out. I was told it’s my pressure sensor / valve. (part #
W10156252 or W10249845) which is backordered for 8
weeks. 8 weeks won’t work for me. Also, the part alone is running about $100.
At this point I decide I am going to look at it. Unplugged the washer first.
I took the pressure valve out. (Turned it sideways to pop it off the wall of
the washer) Then I detached the rubber hose. Next I carefully removed the
electrical cords from the base. Upon looking into the valve I could see that a
small elbow shaped hose had worked it’s way off of the valve. I used needle
nose pliers to gently push the hose back onto the valve. This seems to have
worked for me. I hope it can work for someone else as well.
Thanks for the post Jennab, I am sure it will be helpful to a lot of folks. Nice going on your repair also!
