What this code may mean.

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

Long drain: the washer is taking too long to drain water.

Long drain explained

When a Whirlpool top load washer shows drn or F9 E1, it is signalling a drain pump system problem with a long drain. The washer is taking too long to drain.

Steps from the manual

  1. Review how the drain hose is installed. It should not extend more than 4.5″ (114 mm) into the standpipe.
  2. Fit the drain hose form and fasten the hose firmly to the drainpipe or tub; never tape over the opening.
  3. Keep the hose end higher than 36 inches off the floor, otherwise the washer could siphon and fill and drain together.
  4. Look for a kinked or clogged hose.
