Whirlpool Duet GHW9150P Front Load Washer Logo

My maytag washer model MFW9600SQ0 has an F06 error code. It was previously vibrating during the spin cycle then the error code showed up. I took the back off and found one of the springs that the drum hangs from was disconnected. I reconnected the spring and still cant get rid of the error code. Any suggestions?

    Thank you for the response. I did check all the connections and went as far as performing the diagnostics test that was in the tech sheets supplied inside the cabinet. I'm quessing that the MCU is bad and ordered one. Hopefully this will cure the problem.

The F06 is a drive motor tachometer failure which means the motor control is not able to see the motor is running. This can be a difficult problem to pin down, but there are some things you can do yourself if you like. Check the connections between the motor control and motor. Also check connections on the central control are all tight. Push on all of the connections and see if there is any improvement. The images below will help with access on some Maytag front load washers.

Kenmore Front Load Washer won't complete cycle F06

Have you cleaned your machine lately? They make an in wash boost- it gets rid of the extra suds built up inside the machine that you cant see but your machine detects it and causes faults such as that. Also, there is a small wire on the control board that may need replaced if it keeps kicking the error code.

May be the bearing in your direct drive shaft. If washer is a belt drive, the belt could be frayed

Excessive vibration during spin cycle

Chck to see that all (6) suspension springs are still attached. Check the plastic snubber ring below the mechanism and above the base plate for cracks or contamination.
