Whirlpool Washer - F27 Error Code

Overflow or pressure switch stuck on 'full'.

Meaning

Overflow or pressure switch stuck on 'full'.

The F27 error indicates that the washerโ€™s pressure switch is stuck in the 'full' position or is reporting a water level that is too high. Whirlpool Duet washers use a pressure switch to monitor water level. If the switch does not reset after draining, or if the control board detects an abnormally high water level, the washer triggers F27. This error is often caused by a blocked pressure hose, a stuck pressure switch, or siphoning conditions.

Symptoms

  • Washer drains continuously
  • Washer refuses to fill
  • F27 appears during or after drain
  • Cycle stops unexpectedly

Causes

  • Blocked pressure hose
  • Faulty pressure switch
  • Drain hose inserted too far (siphoning)
  • Control board misreading pressure signals

Model-Specific Notes

On Duet models, detergent residue frequently clogs the pressure hose, causing F27 by preventing the switch from resetting.
