The "F06" error code is indicating a Drive Motor Tachometer Error. The control is unable to properly detect motor speed and the washer will shut down. If a failure occurs during high speed spin the door will be unlocked after 3 minutes.

Potential Causes:

Loose wire connections between the Drive Motor and the Motor Control Unit (MCU), and between the MCU and the Central Control Unit (CCU). Drive Motor MCU Wire harness I recommend calling a service technician to diagnose and repair your washer.

What does error code F6 mean

The meaning of error code F6 can vary depending on the brand and model of the washing machine. Here are some possible explanations for F6 error codes on different brands:
  • Whirlpool: F6 error code on Whirlpool washing machines typically indicates a problem with the motor drive tachometer, which measures the motor's speed. This can be caused by faulty wiring or a failed motor control board.
  • Kenmore: On Kenmore washing machines, F6 error code can indicate a problem with the motor or motor control board. This can cause the washing machine to not spin or agitate properly.
  • Maytag: F6 error code on Maytag washing machines can be caused by a problem with the communication between the central control unit and the motor control board. This can cause the washing machine to not start or complete a cycle.
  • LG: On LG washing machines, F6 error code can indicate a problem with the motor or motor control board, or a communication error between the main control board and the motor control board.
It's important to consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for more specific information and troubleshooting steps based on your specific model and error code.

I have an f6 code and the machine will not operate once it comes up

The F6 error code means that the computer on the control didnt detect that the motor reached a high speed on the spin cycle, sometimes it thinks the washer didnt spin fast enough because of a loose wire connection either on the motor or the control boards (motor &machine control) if you find that the washer did actually spin at high speed (clothes dont come out sopping wet at the end of cycle) the wire connections or the motor control board will be the potential causes of the F6 error code. Try unplugging the machine for five minutes to let the computer reset then try again. Next check the control panel wires. f6 code flashing on display Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine

Cannot get a spin cycle, washer gets stuck before spin cycle get F6 error code

You will need to access the drain pump first by removing the bottom panel. Open clean-out on pump and check for obstructions. If none, the pump may have a broken rotor, these are the problems related to the F6 code.
