F99

The F99 error code on a Kenmore washer typically indicates a communication error within the appliance. Since Kenmore washers are manufactured by Whirlpool, the meaning of the F99 code aligns with Whirlpool's system. Here's a breakdown of what the F99 error signifies for your Kenmore washer

Communication Disruption

The F99 error code points to a problem with communication between various components within your washer. This could be due to several reasons -

  • Electrical Issues - Loose or disconnected wires, faulty electrical connections, or power surges might disrupt communication between the control board and other components.
  • Control Board Malfunction - In some cases, a malfunctioning control board itself might be causing communication errors.
  • Component Failure - Less likely, the issue could be due to a malfunctioning component that isn't communicating properly with the control board.

Troubleshooting Steps for F99 on Your Kenmore Washer

Important Safety Note - Before attempting any troubleshooting steps, unplug the washer from the outlet to avoid electrical hazards.

  1. Reset the Washer - A simple reset can sometimes clear temporary glitches that might be causing the F99 error. Unplug the washer from the outlet for a few minutes and then plug it back in.
  2. Check for Loose Connections (Not recommended unless comfortable) - If you're comfortable with some disassembly, you can visually inspect the wire connections between the control board and other components for any loose connections. However, it's important to unplug the washer from the outlet before attempting this.

When to Consult a Qualified Appliance Repair Technician

If the reset and checking for loose connections don't resolve the issue, consulting a qualified appliance repair technician is recommended for the following reasons -

  • Diagnosis - The technician can use their experience and tools to diagnose the exact cause of the communication error. They can check for electrical issues, control board malfunctions, or component failures.
  • Safe Disassembly and Repair - Accessing and repairing electrical components or the control board might require disassembly of the washer. A technician will have the knowledge and tools to do this safely.
