Hi from Puerto Rico! I have the same issue and did all the procedures mentioned in all chats we found in internet about this (todays date december 21, 2020), with the same result - FH error! Help! We are using two rinse cycles to wash - first one for washing and the second to rinse, as a trick meanwhile we get the final solution. tonymac2013@gmail.com

davidwmireles as you probably already know the error code can come up with water supply valves that are not turned on, the inlet screens are clogged and the pump strainer/filter is clogged. It can also be caused by a bad drain pump motor. I suggest that you download the service instructions from the bottom of this page and run the diagnostic cycle. You also want to check on these things :

Check/Repair:

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.

If there is no water in the unit:

1. Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way.

2. Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves

3. Verify inlet valve operation

If there is water in the unit:

1. Verify Drain pump operation

2. Pressure Switch Hose is in good condition and properly connected to Tub and Pressure switch

Verify there is not a siphon problem

Verify wire harness connections to:Inlet Valves, Pressure Switch, Drain Pump, Flow Meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU)

Check all hoses for possible leaks

Verify pressure switch operation

Verify flow meter operation

Verify CCU operation.

After all that let us know what you've found.
