The pump when going sounds like a grinding noise

Assuming that you have the hoses connected and the water turned on.it could be the water inlet solenoids

No belt its a direct drive.

Check your pump and hoses and hose clamps. If it looks like its coming from the center of the machine it probably needs a tub seal.

If you do not hear you pump coming on, check the push on wire connectors on the pump. UNPLUG FIRST

The Start button is broken, the user interface board is not working, or the machine/motor control board is out. Perform the diagnostic test to verify all machine functions. The Start button is indeed broken if machine functions work fine during the diagnostic test.

Put the machine in standby mode by plugging it in with all indicators off, or with only the Clothes Clean or Done indicator on. Select any one button except POWER, START, and STOP then follow the steps below, using the same button.

Press/hold for 3 seconds, release for 3 seconds, press/hold for 3 seconds, release for 3 seconds then press/hold for 3 seconds and release. All indicators on the console will be lit for 5 seconds with 88 showing in the Estimated Time Remaining two-digit display to indicate that the diagnostic mode has been entered successfully. If indicators do not display as described, the press/hold and release procedure may not have been performed within the time frame necessary for successful entry. Repeat the procedure and you may use another button to ensure this was not the cause.

The program then checks for saved fault codes. Post back any saved fault code for further advice. If there are no saved fault codes, all indicators on the console will momentarily turn off, then turn back on with 88 displayed and after 5 seconds, the diagnostic test begins with C0 displayed and the lid may be opened. Press the same button used in activating the diagnostic test above to advance through automatic test steps. Allow step C1 to complete before advancing to the next steps. Post back the result fro further troubleshooting advice.

I am not familiar with Haier codes, but from what you have said, it appears that the machine is not pumping the water out. Firstly,MAKE SURE that you UNPLUG the machine from the electrical supply, then If the drain hose is accessable, lower the outlet [where it joins the household plumbing] into a bucket, and allow the water the drain out, whilst keeping the hose as low as possible. It may need several bucketsfull to empty the machine. once this is done, you will need to take the inspection panels off the back, and locate the pump at the end of the drain hose. This is where it gets a bit tricky and best if you have some help and have some tools handy; I always tilt the machine against a wall, ensuring that it will not fall back, and working both from underneath, and through the inspection panel, place a bowl beneath the pump, remove the drain hose from the pump. Depending on how well you have managed to drain the machine, you will get more water from the drain hose and pump. When that has drained away into the bowl, check the end of the hose, and the exposed end of the pump for foriegn objects, if that is clear, check the other end of the pump and the hose from the tub to the pump and check again for a stoppage. When you have done that, re-assemble the hoses to the pump and return the machine to the upright position. re-connect the drain hose to the household plunbing, plug the machine back in, add a small amount of water to the tub, and run the spin cycle. If the stoppage has been removed, the machine should now normally. If successful. check underneath the machine for any leaks and if ok the machine should be useable once again. I hope this helps?

It may come up an unbalanced load but it may a sensor that is on recall. I have a Whirlpool Cabrio top loader and after I start it it says F1 which is a sensor on recall and I have to restart it several times before it continues the load. Go to their web site and you can look up the exact model to see if yours has a recall as well.

Error codes for WTW5550XW whirlpool cabrioIt would appear that no one read your original post, I believe you asked: HOW DO IT GET THE ERROR CODE. I have the same machine and had the same problem. The method is descibed in the service manual available at servicemanuals.net for about $17. It also has a decent wiring diagram and how to generally do anything the local service guy could do well worth the money for a download you can have in your hands in minutes.Back to your question.1) turn the washer off (the power button) all the indicator lights should be off.(now think of your old gym locker combination lock, cause it will be a little like this)2a) rotate the center selector knob CCW (counter clockwise a few clicks), this seems to get the machines attention2b) immediately rotate 1 click CW clockwise2c) immediately rotate 1 click CW (again)2d) immediately rotate 1 click CW (again)2e) immediately rotate 1 click CCW 2f) immediately rotate 1 click CW (again)visually it would look like this <---,->,->,->,<-,->now just the led's below the indicator should be blinking off and on on about 1 second intervalsyou may need to try a few times to get the timing just right, you aren't spining through the clicks, just about enough time to say "left-left-left-right one,right-two,right three,left one, right onewith all the led's in a row blinking you are ready to go into code mode.(sensing soak wash rinse spin done) (mine doesn't have soak BTW)3) rotate the selector knob a few clicks until only the "done" led is lit4) press start5) the led's should blink againwhich leds blink tells you alternately the fault# and error# when the "sensing" led is blinking, the other leds are indicating the fault number, when it is not on, the indicate the error# the fault# is the type of problem, and the error# indicates where the problem was detected.6) a partial listing using the fault #, I will indicate the led as follows: Sensing/Wash/Rinse/Spin/DoneS/W/R/S/D this would be all these leds lits/w/r/s/d this would be all these leds offthe F# codes to the right is what you would see if you had the numeric display on the console (not all models) Here goes:Over suds condition: S/w/r/s/d F0High water temp rinse cycle: S/w/r/s/d F0Off balance load: S/w/r/s/d F0Main control fault: S/w/r/s/D F1Motor control fault: S/w/r/s/D F1Stuck key: S/w/r/S/d F2Mismatch of main control UI: S/w/r/S/d F2Pressure sensor fault: S/w/r/S/D F3Inlet water temp fault: S/w/r/S/D F3Lid switch fault: S/w/R/s/D F5Lid lock fault: S/w/R/s/D F5Lid unlock fault: S/w/R/s/D F5Lid not opened between cycles: S/w/R/s/D F5Basket speed sensor fault: S/w/R/S/D F7Shifter fault: S/w/R/S/D F7Motor fault: S/w/R/S/D F7Motor unable to reach target rpm:S/w/R/S/D F7No fill long fill: S/W/r/s/d F8Overflow: S/W/r/s/d F8Hot cold reversed: S/W/r/s/d F8Long drain: S/W/r/s/D F9yes several of these had identical blinking light combinations, but it is good start.

The SD error code is caused by using the wrong detergent or excessive amounts of detergent.

To correct the issue: Make sure to use HE detergent. Note: Using Non - HE Detergent will cause oversudsing and can damage the washer. Do not use too much detergent.

Note: If using HE 2x - 5x concentrate detergent, reduce the amount being used. The washer will try to run a mini-clean out cycle using cold water and a 5 minute pause to clear the suds. If this cycle does not clear the display and complete the cycle the clothing may need to be rinsed by hand and then rewashed without detergent.

F53 error code - Motor COntrol OvertempThis code indicates that the motor module is overheating and is set when the machine/motor control detects high temperature for the motor module. Does basket turn freely? If not, determine cause of friction. If basket turns freely, see TEST #3:TEST #3 Motor CircuitThis test checks the wiring to the motor and rotor position sensor; and the motor and rotor position sensor themselves.NOTE: Drain water from tub.1. See Activation of Manual Diagnostic Test Mode, and check the motor and electrical connections by performing the Agitate and Spin tests under Manual: Motor. The following steps assumes that this stepfailed.2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.3. Check to see if basket will turn freely. If basket turns freely, go to step 4. If basket does not turn freely, determine what is causing the mechanical friction or lock up.4. Remove the console to access the machine/ motor control assembly. See Accessing and Removing the Electronic Assemblies.5. Visually check that the P5 and P10 connectors are inserted all the way into the machine/motor control. If visual checks pass, go to step 6. If visual checks fail, reconnect P5 and P10 and repeat step 1.6. With an ohmmeter, check for 16 ohms resistance at the P5 connector between pins P5-1 and P5-2, and also between pins P5-1 and P5-3. Also measure the resistance at the P10 connector between pins P10-1 and P10-7 and verify that the resistance is within the range shown in the wiring diagram on page 7-1.If the resistance is correct, go to step 11. If the P5 connector resistance is much higher than 16 ohms, or the P10 connector resistance is out of range, go to step 7.7. Tilt machine forward to access the bottom of the machine and the drive motor area. See Figure 1 on page 6-13. Remove the motor bolt, then the motor cover to access the motor connections.8. Visually check the mounting bracket and electrical connections to the motor and rotor position sensor board. If visual check passes, go to step 9.If visual check fails, reconnect the electrical connections, reassemble stator and motor cover and repeat step 1.9. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity between all pins on the P10 machine/motor control connector and the motor rotor position sensor (RPS) connector. See Figures 2 and 4, pages 6-13 and 6-16. If there is continuity, go to step 11. If there is no continuity, replace the lower machine harness.10. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity between all pins on the P5 machine/motor control connector and the drive motor connector. If there is continuity, replace the drive motor. If there is no continuity, replace the lower machine harness.11. The drive motor and lower harness are good. Replace the motor RPS board and perform the Diagnostics test in step 1 to verify repair.12. If the Diagnostics motor test in step 1 failed, then the machine/motor control has failed: Unplug the washer or disconnect power. Replace the machine/motor control assembly. Perform the Motor Diagnostics in step 1 to verify repair.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day

The washer is unbalanced, make sure it is level and the clothes are distributed even, if this have been check. put the unit on cold water and see how fast it comes in. Safety programmed into the unit if it takes longer then 10 minutes to fill it will just drain. This is to keep the washer from flooding out. Check the water inlet where the hose screws on, it could be plugged up with grit

It should be okay to use dry bleach, if you follow the instructions on the bleach. Some bleaches require dissolving in water first, others can be used dry.
