f1 is the error code for your main control board at console, replace boad

F1 means the control board is shot. Call whirlpool and they should take care of the parts and labor even though your machine is out of warranty.

HELLO, Error code F1 indicates a control failure and most likely the machine control board will have to be replaced. Depending on when you purchased the machine, the board may be covered under extended component warranty.
I had the same F1 problem and they had to replace the control board and something relating to the balance. The tech told me this is a common problem.

Whirlpool did a recall on this problem here is there number try this first. Whirlpool 1-800-253-1301
On a number of ranges this can mean a number of things, the most common being a failed ERC(EOC, Clock assembly)or a faulty touchpad. Firstly if you are using a recent Maytag range it may pay to test the oven sensor as described above as this may cause an F1 error if faulty (may apply to some other ranges as well) this is not a common cause but is worth discounting. To check the ERC and touchpad

1. Disconnect the power
2. Gain access to the back of the ERC
3. Disconnect the ribbon cable that connects the ERC to the touchpad
4. Check nothing will short when power is reconnected
5. reconnect the power and switch on
6. Watch for F1 and listen for the beep
7. If you get the F1 and the beep this means the fault is with the ERC and it will need replacing
8. If after 30 mins you do not see the F1 error and hear the beep, replace the touchpad

WRONG POWDER'S, TO MANY POWDERS IN PUMP PUT ONE TEASPOON OF OIL IN WHERE THE POWDERS SHOULD GO AND RUN CYCLE AND THAT WILL DESROY THEY SUDS AND ONLY USE HIGH EFF DETRG. FROM NOW ON, IF THAT DONT FIX PROBL YOU HAVE SOMETHING STUCK IN YOUR PUMP, YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE TECH TO TAKE YOUR FRONT OFF MACHINE AND GO INTO PUMP WHICH IS EASY AND REMOVE ITEM, PROBL SOCK, OR UNDYS. I HAD THIS PROBL WITH MINE.

according to the service manual for the cabrio f-1 means main motor control failure the brain so to speak has a glitch it is intermitten but will eventually fail.

The following list of codes indicates a possible electronics communication problem with the washer:
Cabrio washer - F1, F2, F40, F41, F42, F50, F51, F52, F53, F54, F72
