I think there might be a recall on your washer call to see. I am not for sure that there is a recall but I a m pretty sure there is. So don't quote me on that. the f1 error code usually means that you have a bad board. f1 means that your pressure switch line is failing and this is all in your board. check your owners manual if whirlpool is not going to pay for this repair sometimes there are extended warranties in your manual

per sears unplug the washer for at least 10 min then plug back in and push pause or stop 2 time.

The F1 error code indicates either that the pressure signal is out of range or the pressure hose is blocked. This would mean that the control board is defective or the pressure hose is pinched or blocked somewhere between the control board & the outer tub. You can check the pressure hose by removing the rear panel & looking where the drain hose is coming out of the back of the cabinet.
