"F6" is a Motor Speed error problem. It is commonly attributed to either a broken or slipped drive belt, defective Drive Motor, bad Motor Control Unit (MCU), and/or the interconnecting wiring. The following link explains:
http://www.fixya.com/support/r3608706-f06_error_codeFirst, remove the back panel of the unit and make sure the drive belt is not broken, or has not slipped off the drum pulley.
Then, remove the top panel of the washer and check all the connector plugs between the Drive Motor, MCU and Central Control Unit (CCU). Check for loose connections and then unplug each connector and plug them back in (one at a time) to ensure they are snug and making good contact. The top panel comes off by removing the three screws that hold it in place in the rear of the washer. With the screws removed, the panel will slide back, then off.
NOTE: You only need to check the connectors that affect the drive motor and MCU circuitry.
The MCU has a tachometer mounted on it. If it is determined to be the cause of the problem, it is considered part of the MCU and cannot be replaced separately. The MCU is not serviceable and will require replacement.
Next, check the motor windings to ensure they are reading the proper resistance. Followed by continuity checks of all the interconnecting wiring between the drive motor, MCU and CCU. You should not need a service manual because each one of these washers comes with a technical data sheet.
For more in depth troubleshooting tips refer to your tech sheet located inside the washer behind the lower toe panel. You will need to locate and remove the screws under the bottom front edge of the toe panel. Once removed, the panel will drop down, then come off. If the tech sheet isn't located directly behind the panel, it will be affixed to one of the interior cabinet walls. The tech sheet includes all error codes, test points, diagnostic procedures and helpful illustrations to assist in troubleshooting and repair of your washer.

Tech came out 11-28-2008 did not have parts to fix problem and could not get ok from central call center he was told over phonme that if machine did not f06 not to do anything. 10 minutes after leaving f06 error code again called tech on his phone and advised of f06 told he could not do a thing to fix at the moment. Called Sears central and was told that for a $10 fee tech would be out in the am 11-29-2008 waited and no show. Went online and was told to reschedule for 12-06-2008 am. Starting to get really pissed at the whole process. Washer is under warranty and now has to be referred to the lemon law dept. In the mean while tech has to come out and take one more shot at a repair. This way they can say it is a lemon and replace it. Finally did the diagnostic test and got f06 right after the test started!!!!!

It is their tactic. The program has a problem (I realized it) the motor has no problem at all. He ran the diagnostic as well, and with his magic hand the wash machine started (finished the cycle) completely. However, he said to throw the wash machine out and replace the motor which is the same price like another one or there's a cloth in it between might have stuck in. I asked him if you were able to finish the cycle, and change the error code somehow, some way at the back clicking little parts, why do you say the motor has a problem? Why didn't you take the cloth out of it then?
