What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

F22 indicates a front door lock issue.

F22 on a front load Whirlpool washer indicates a front door lock issue. Product Help lists three checks.

Is the door firmly shut?

The door must be completely closed for the washer to operate. Make sure no clothing or shipping material blocks the door latch.

Is the door lock dirty?

Wash media such as detergent and fabric softener can build up around the lock. Clean it with a soft, damp cloth if needed.

Was the load large?

Before closing the door, check for laundry sticking out past the opening. Leave enough room for clothes to tumble freely. An overloaded basket may keep the door from shutting completely, so reduce the load size if needed.
