A customer in Pimpama contacted ISB Electrical because their Whirlpool washing machine stopped during the cycle and displayed an F12 error. The machine was unable to continue the program correctly, and the drain system required inspection.
When a washing machine stops mid-cycle or shows an error code, the cause can be related to drainage, pump blockage, water level detection, wiring, control board communication or another internal fault. In this repair, the issue was found in the drain pump area.
The fault was caused by foreign objects stuck inside the drain pump. The obstruction was preventing the pump from operating correctly and stopping the washing machine from completing the cycle.
When foreign objects enter the drain pump, they can jam the impeller, restrict water flow and trigger cycle errors. This can make the machine stop, fail to drain properly or display a fault code.
The foreign objects were removed from the drain pump. The pump area was cleared, and the drain system was checked to make sure water could flow correctly through the machine.
After clearing the drain pump, the Whirlpool washing machine was tested through the drain stage and cycle operation. The machine drained correctly after the obstruction was removed.
