DU flashes if the following conditions occur:
? Excessive force on door lid is preventing lock bolt from retracting.
? Wash media buildup is preventing lock bolt from retracting.
? Machine/motor control cannot determine if door lock is in an unlocked state.

SOURCE: Maytag Bravos Steam dryer that reads service error code F1

F01 - There may be an internal problem with the control, attempt a Hard Reset.

Hard Reset - In some cases the control can be non-functioning or may not accept activation from the control panel. To clear and restart the control follow the these steps:

* Unplug or turn the circuit breaker off for 30 seconds.
* Reconnect the unit to the power source by turning the breaker back on or plugging the unit back into the wall outlet.
* Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the "PF" in the display.
* Start a short cycle to check the operation of the machine by selecting a cycle and pressing and holding the start button until the machine starts.

The F01 generally indicates a failed electronic machine control board.
This error code can sometimes be caused by a glitch or power surge through the electrical lines.
You may be able to clear this code by unplugging the washer for 5 minutes.
If the code returns after plugging the washer back in, then the electronic machine control board will need to be replaced.

The procedure for accessing and replacing this control board is shown in this image...

Be sure to unplug the washer before accessing internal components.
When you access the control board, I recommend transferring the wires from the old control board to the new replacement control board one connection at a time.
Once you have all of the wires transferred, remove the old control board and mount the new control board in the washer.
Reassemble and test the washer.

The "F01" error code indicates a communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the EEPROM onboard the CCU.
The "F01" can also be displayed if the onboard "Pump Driver" fails to activate.
Generally in order to correct this failure will require replacing the CCU.
There is no way to test and verify if the control board has failed.
The technical data sheet basically states to replace the CCU.

SOURCE: maytag bravo quiet series 300: Stopped at spin:

We have a Maytag Bravo Quiet Series 300 washing machine, the door latch is broken. I have the replacement part ( the locking mechanism) but I need can not figure out how to get the top of the washer to flip up to give me access to top front of the machine to remove the old part and replace it with the new.

How do I flip back the top (not the door) of this machine?

First make sure the lid is completely closed, and try running the washer. Because if an "L" appears upon the electronic display area, the lid lock might not be working properly. When an "L" error code appears, it is usually caused by one of two things, a faulty lid locking switch, which holds the lid completely closed during the wash cycle, or a faulty lock solenoid sensor, which displays a warning signal when the lid is not locked securely. If one of these is not working properly, you need to replace the part.

You will need to replace the RPS sensor. There is a kit available that will update that washer to the current design. Here is the kit to order.

My maytag bravos washer is flashing DL, what does this mean, its not spinning!

The "dL" error code appears when an item inside the washer prevents the lid from locking properly. Open the washer and readjust any items that may be hitting the lid. The error code should go away once you properly close the lid
