I don't know what this has to do with not draining all the way, but searching this kenmore washer error code for hf got this is AI response on FireFox browser:

On a Kenmore washer, an "HF" error code typically indicates a problem with the water supply, meaning the washer isn't receiving enough water to operate properly; this could be due to clogged inlet hoses, low water pressure, or issues with the water inlet valves.

What to check when seeing an "HF" error:

  • Water supply: Ensure both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on.
  • Hoses: Check for kinks or damage in the water inlet hoses.
  • Inlet valve screens: Remove the inlet hoses and clean the screens inside the washer where the hoses connect, removing any debris that might be blocking water flow.
  • Water pressure: Check if the water pressure is sufficient.

Important points to remember:

  • Consult your user manual:
  • Always refer to your specific Kenmore washer manual for the most accurate interpretation of error codes and troubleshooting steps.

@tammymccubbin does not look like tehre is an HF error code. There is a F/H, so let us know what the display shows you. If it is FH then you have an error code for

No water detected entering machine or Pressure switch trip not detected.

and here is what to heck for this error:

If after 30 seconds the control does not detect water entering machine and then valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed.

Or

If the control has turned the water valves on and after 8 minutes the flow meter has detected 10.5 gallons of water passing through it, but has not detected the pressure switch trip, the valves will be turned off and the error code will flash.

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.

Potential Causes

• If there is no water in the unit:

  • • Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way.
  • • Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves
  • • Verify inlet valve operation

• If there is water in the unit:

  • • Verify Drain pump operation
  • • Pressure Switch Hose is in good condition and properly connected to Tub andPressure 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
