Default Duet Sport F21 code - Pump seems to work fine(Repair Manual link)

I have a 14 month old Duet Sport that has developed a problem which results in a F21 code. The service people changed the mother board but this did not help. The machine seems to work until the water needs to be pumped from the drum. We can hear the pump kick on and run until it cavitates continuously for a long while before finally displaying the f21 code.

Any suggestions? Whirlpool is not telling us anything of value and have been terrible to work with!

Hi,

We would need the model# of your washer to look-up what that code is.

The model# is located inside the door.

I found it.

Here is the official online repair manual for the Whirlpool Duet Sport:
https://secured.whirlpool.com/Servic...LE/8178558.pdf

F21 is:
LONG DRAIN
If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes the water valves turn off.
NOTES:
After 4 minutes the “Sd” error will be displayed, then
4 minutes later the “F/21” error code will be displayed.
Press PAUSE/CANCEL two times to clear the display.
Possible Causes/Procedure
1. Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or
kinked.
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure
the pump is running.
4. Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects.
5. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
6. If the above does not correct the problem, go to step 7.
7. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
8. Replace the pump.

Jake

Default Excellent advice

Thanks Jake for your advice here. My Duet Sport was throwing the F21 code also. I stumbled through here and followed your advice. The PDF manual was very nice and walked me right through everything I had to do.
10 minutes later I had the front panel off and the filter cap removed. It's crazy how much junk was down in there. At least I know how to get back in there now. I'll be checking the filter and our kids pants more often for debris.
