SOURCE: Whirlpool Cabrio Washer Error message code F1

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.

SOURCE: not spinning out, all icons flash, so therefore door remains lock

This is a major control fault within the chip set on the main control board. replacing this damaged control will fix this issue you are having at this time.

SOURCE: Error Code F8E1 on Whirlpool Duet

f8 is shown when the heater circuit is on with no water in.. it doesnt do it when you unplug the pressure switch because your disabling the heat protect circuit

THE BOARD IS PROBABLY FAULTY

F08 indicates pressure switch stuck on full.



Unplug the appliance from the wall socket.

Take the top off the machine.

Locate the pressure switch, you can identify it by the thin tube attached to it.

Take the tube off, blow down this tube as hard as you can to shift any blockage or restriction in the pressure chamber. Give the pressure switch a couple of good taps with the screwdriver handle.

Refit the tube and try the machine again.

If still doing it, unplug again and follow the tube down.

This end will be attached to the pressure chamber.

Take this chamber off and thoroughly clean it out, clean out the port into the tub too.

Reassemble and try again.



If after this it's still faulty you'll need to start replacing parts.

I'd suggest trying a new pressure switch first.

Failing this, if all of the above fails to resolve the problem you're possibly looking at a faulty main control board.

SOURCE: We have a Bosch Nexxt 100 Series Washer. The door

Getting the door open is the easy part. Finding out why it won't open might take a little doing -- though replacing the door latch is also easy. To get the door open, Take an awl or something pointy and place it in the hole on the small round cover in the lower left front of the machine. Now use this to turn the cover, unscrewing it from the machine. Once the cover is off, you should see a plastic rod hanging down. Pull this rod and it will unlock the door. You can now remove your wet clothes from the machine and investigate the cause of the problem.

SOURCE: whirlpool duet sport washer add

This symptom characterizes a problem with a faulty motor control unit (MCU). It has been found that a fault in the MCU can lead to erratic operation of the machine with or without error codes being flashed. It can be verified by isolating the MCU, that is disconnecting it from the central control unit (CCU). If the machine seems to work fine with the MCU disconnected except motor powered functions, the MCU is indeed the problem and the only viable solution is replacing it.

Unplug the machine or disconnect power then remove the three screws from the rear of the machine top cover. Pull back on the cover and release the tabs in the console from the slots in the cover then lift the cover off the unit.

Locate the CCU then disconnect the MCU harnesses marked MS2 and MI3.

Reconnect power then start the machine. Replace the MCU if the machine seems to work fine except motor powered functions. Otherwise, let us know for further advice.

What does the code"F5E2" mean when trying to use the self-cleaning function?

This error means that the door lock didn't engage properly. This could be a wiring problem or a problem with the switch. First disconnect the range from power and check the wiring and switches from the control to the switch and back. If the door was locked when the F5E2 error was observed, then replace the door switch.

If the door was not locked, then check the door switch and the latch switch. Replace the bad switch.

The rear door switch is part W10107830, https://www.partstore.com/Part/Maytag/Maytag/MER7765WW/Whirlpool/Whirlpool/W10107830/New.aspx . A useful parts diagram is here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-part/mer7775ww0/3048/0124111/W0908230/00003.html .

After replacing the bad part, reconnect the power to the range. Press and hold any key for a minute to clear the F5 code from the memory. Then press Cancel to clear the next code you see. Check if the range works.

I hope this helps.

I would first replace the door latch/lock assembly, a number of users have and it fixed the F-11 error code completely. Its the cheapest part for this problem.
