The washing machine is one of the most necessary laundry appliances nowadays. None of the housewives can imagine a daily routine without it as it helps save time, energy, and health. It goes without saying that when your washer is malfunctioning this makes you irritated and frustrated.

Here, our skilled washing machine technicians at FIX Appliances CA prepared the troubleshooting tips when you face one of the most common problems – “nF” error displayed on your washer. This error is the most common if you have Samsung, Speed Queen, Kenmore, Maytag or LG washing machines.

A Very Common Error for Brands like Samsung, Speed Queen, Kenmore, Maytag and LG

NF error means “No fill” indicating the washing machine cannot be safely filled with water. An nF code appears on the display when your washer has spent more than 15 minutes trying to fill itself up without success.

Upon the experience of our experts, this nF code does not mean severe damage to your appliances and can be fixed within several minutes. In this case, the main task is to identify why it happened. Let’s look at some of them:

• Water is turned on. Verify whether the water supply to the washer is turned on. As a rule, the washer requires the water supply valves (both for Hot and Cold water) to be turned on. Make sure the valves are fully open.
• The filter is clogged with debris. If your Samsung or Speed Queen washing machine has a debris filter, clean out the filter with soap and water and return it to the washer. This may resolve the nF error code.
• Door or lid switch problems. Sometimes it will not fill with water if the door is not properly closed. The door switch (front-loaders) or lid switch (top-loaders) tells the control panel or timer to fill the washer once the door is closed correctly. If the door closes properly, there may still be a fault with the door or lid switch.
• Water inlet hoses. Occasionally, water supply hoses become kinked or crimped and cause the nF error code. Straighten the hose if it restricts the water supply to the washer.
• Water inlet filters are clogged. Most washers have filters where the water inlet hoses connect to the washer. If the filters are clogged, it could cause an “nF” error. To check the water inlet filters, turn off the water and disconnect the inlet hoses from the washer. Locate the filters and check if they are clogged. Depending on the model, you may be able to use needle-nose pliers to remove the filter. Wash the filters with water, using a brush to clean them.
• Water pressure issues. As a rule, most washer models require water pressure between 30 and 120 psi. If the water pressure is below 30 psi, the washer will not receive enough water, and this will cause the nF error code.
• Water inlet valve issues. If you check off the above causes of the nF error code, the water inlet valve may have a defective solenoid. Over time, the solenoid coils inside the inlet valve may fail. You can check the solenoids for continuity with the help of a multimeter. If a coil test for continuity is negative, the water inlet valve should be replaced.

NB: Please, make sure to disconnect the power and turn off the water before accessing the washing machine.
The worst-case scenario may be a total blockage in your valves, simply a faulty valve, or the wire between the electronic control board and the water valves could be broken, or the electronic control board could be defective.
