FH is water fill timing out. Check the pipes aren’t kinked and you have adequate water pressure. If this is okay, it’s likely the pressure switch is blocked, or that the drain hose is too low and water is siphoning out.

i have taken the pipes and pump of to make sure all is clear,then i put it on a rinse and spin,it rinses and drains ok but then instead of going onto the spin cycle it gets the fh error ,if it is the pressure switch have you got a link to what it looks like and how much it cost,she was told over the phone the washer just needed resetting ?

thanks for your help

forget “resetting” the washing machine, the problem does sound pressure related as previously advised, but could be something as simple as a blocked pressure chamber which was very common on older Whirlpool washing machines, you will find the pressure bottle is a squareish plastic bottle attached to the outer tub just below and to the right of the bottom of the door seal, one easy test to see if its blocked is to removed the pressure tube from the pressostat and blow down it. (observe safety, unplug machine), gently pull off the outer door bellow ring and just peel back the right side of the door bellow, just to the right behind the door lock you’ll feel a black rubber tube (quite narrow), its connected to the pressure switch (pressostat) just above it. pull it off carefully and you’ll be able to pull it through the porthole just enough to blow down it, if you cant blow air through to the tub then the pressure bottle is blocked and you will need to remove the front panel of the machine and remove and clean out the bottle. Let me know how you get on . . .
