Hi,
The "F1" error code on the Whirlpool cabrio is quite common, and generally has to do with the control board. Replacing the control panel may resolve this issue. However, I believe Whirlpool is aware of the F1 issue with the Cabrio, and is fixing some machines for free. Please call 1-800-253-1301 for more details and see if you are eligible for a free repair.
Thank you !!
We are small family of 3, I use the washer Whirlpool Cabrio once a week, and in this month october 2011, has stoped many time with the signal F1, this thing never happen to me with other washers that I've used for more than 10 years. The washer whirlpool Cabrio has something wrong from the fabric.

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.
