STOP the insanity....that's what you're saying if you encounter the F11 and/or fDL error codes on your washer.
If you're not there yet, you will be soon....
The dreaded F11 and/or fDL codes - been there done ALL that!!
Our Whirlpool DUET washer is just over 5 years.
We experienced our first F11 code 6 months ago (warranty just expired what else is new?).
When it first happened, I thought nothing of it - hit the cancel button and the machine reset itself.
Then it happened again and again and again.
Each time it happened it was more challenging to reset it. I searched for the fix on line - I should have done my research before we purchased the washer.
I was able to determine the error was stemming from the CCU board.
Order a new one at over $300.00 and have the same thing happen again - I don't think so.
We tried EVERYTHING suggested on multiple websites.....unplugging the washer, hitting the right upper side, checking wires, wiggling the wires, wedging things to improve contacts, soldering, re-soldering, Vaseline, changed relays....anything and everything was a temporary fix.
Contact Whirlpool directly?
Tried that too, they apparently don't recognize there is an issue with F11 fDL errors, "not a commonly called in concern".
Really??
We started searching washers to purchase....I couldn't bare spending $$$ for another washer, but we are a busy active family with 4 kids - what are our options?
Then one night after searching the websites for one last desperate attempt at salvaging our washer, I followed through on a link:

Now, I'm the biggest sceptic in the world and the most frugal consumer - really I am.
I am posting my testament to this service because I've been there - frustrated, disappointed, angry.
I am so pleased with the service Ed provided - from answering all my questions, to the superb job he did on the CCU.
You can review all the comments posted by all his other pleased customers on eBay.
I had to stand by my washer for the first 6 loads - just in case the beep beep beeps started.
To my astonishment, amazement, and surprise - it never happened!!
In my opinion, this is the only true fix for your F11/Fdl error!!
I never imagined in my wildest dreams ever telling anyone how happy I am to be doing my laundry again, but I really am!!
