My washer will not start it says" F-01" and constantly blinks when I try to press start. HELP!

Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today.Try pressing heated dry,Normal,Heated dry,Normal and all lights should come on if they do wait like 5 seconds and hit cancel and see if the unit will start. If this happens again it may be a heating issue.
Thank You and please rate my answer if it was helpful..

try unplugging the washer for 5 mins. to reset the main control board, if that doesn't help check to see if both door latches are locking

When your copier heater unite thermostat is out of order then show H5-01 is blinking.
You can reset it Press # interrupt 0 Interrupt press 14 press print key or start button then machine is ready.If are not success you must change it.

The drum counter reaches 25000 copies , it's time to change the drum and reset counter .
Enter the reset mode by pressing : # - * - c - * .
then press : 20 - start -01- start - CA - CA .
Hope this will help .

Hi I purchased another machine "kitchen aid" I have been told by many repair techs that they have had nothing but problems with front load machines and one company won't even work on them and no the solutions that I received did not work and the ccu part costs around $300.00 so I have given up on whirlpool and sears for the no help I received from them and will never by another prod. of anykind from sears again. Thank you for your help.

It may be the lid switch? If the lid isn't shut, then on most models the machine won't start.

Anymore queries, please post and I will try to help you.

This error code means there is an abnormality.
If the on-off door lock LED on a Whirlpool washer flashes rapidly at the same time as at least one other LED, then this means there is an abnormality.
Try first to reset the machine. You can press and hold the reset button for a couple of seconds, otherwise turn off the power completely (unplug it) for 5 mins.

press heated dry
press normal wash
press heated dry again
press normal wash again..........
.....wait a few seconds
all the lights should come on
press cancel (should hear pump)
hit cancel again

Hope this helps, it worked for me, but it may depend on your model.

This depends on the blinking pattern. Of the eight lights on the panel, if the four on the left blink on and then the right four lights blink on as the left ones go off, and keep blinking back and forth, that just means the mode has been set and the Start button pressed. After closing the door it should just continue on wherever it is in the cycle. (This is normal operation).
If you hold down the Start button, this resets the dishwasher. If you then close the door, nothing will happen because it thinks it's done.
If the lights are blinking in a different pattern, such as they all blink on and off in unison, that indicates an error condition and needs to be diagnosed. If the pump is not running constantly, then at least it's not because water is leaking out somewhere.

Press "end of cycle" to get machine to normal. Then plug off the wall. Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean. There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.
