How do you fix a fault F06 on a Whirlpool front loader washing machine

My Arizona 1400 gave a f06 (carbon brushes), the motor taken out and it was a C.E.SET MCA52/64-148 engine. This motor has carbon brushes 5x13,5mm in a holder. So pay attention on what engine it is because each different type has different brushes. You can repair it yourself provided you have a little technical knowledge. He runs fine again.

The "F06" fault code indicates a drive motor tachometer error. This means the control is unable to properly detect motor speed and the machine will shut down. If the failure occurs during high-speed spin, the door will unlock after 3 minutes. Possible Causes/Procedure: Unplug washer or disconnect the power supply. Check the wire harness connections between the motor and motor control unit and the harness connections between the motor control unit (MCU) and the Central Control Unit (CCU). Based on your symptom and details, the intermittent (F06) error code is likely a loose connection in the harness between the motor and the (MCU) or between the (MCU) and the (CCU). It could also be the tachometer circuit in the motor or an intermittent internal component connection within the (MCU). Since the (CCU) has already been replaced, the failure is likely a loose harness connection or the (MCU). I recommend calling the repair person back out to re-diagnose the failure. by Joey S MARCH 1ST, 2010 ' Be the first to comment
