jennifer, The HF code is actually an FH code :-) FH (Water Inlet Problem--no water or insufficient water supply)

Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle. Unplug washer or disconnect power.Check the following:

open water faucets completely

check the screens at inlet hose connection to washer to make sure they are not clogged. Make sure that the water hoses are not kinked. Plug in washer or reconnect power. Re-select cycle and press START.

Hi, there is a few videos on YT showing how to fix these blinking codes F and H. Other than this, I have fixed my washer by cleaning the white filter (regarding codes H and F) ; first, take out the rectangular panel (lid) from bottom of your washer, there is a scrub at each side, use a star scrub driver, take out lid, place a big towel on floor under washer, rotate clockwise the filter, then you will see how dirty is! ( coins, pieces of plastic, hair, etc) clean it up, place back all. Is not difficult! You can save up to 150 bucks probably... good luck

Part 2 ... I forgot some details:

About the filter!.... the shape is like circle and is located on bottom side, middle. Before to take out this filter you have to recline the washer towards behind (about half feet) and place some piece of wood or brick for holding the machine while you are working on cleaning the filter... Now good luck
