My Whirlpool Duet is showing error codes f06 and e02 and wont unlock door or run cycle, what can I do?

This error message means an electronic communications problem. Press pause/cancel twice to cancel the error and then disconnect the power cord from the outlet, wait few minutes, plug the power cord back in and select a new wash cycle.

If you see the same error again then you need to check the connections located between the drive motor and motor control unit.

Unfortunately, this error means that the central control unit and user interface aren't communicating. Sometimes, a temporary solution can be to simply unplug the washer for a bit. This will reset the error code that is in memory. If the error persists, you will need to again unplug the washer and get behind it. Take off the top panel (for the back) to access the control boards. Plug the unit in again and check the wiring between the CCU and the user interface. Make sure that the connectors aren't loose. Then remove them and check the voltages or resistance across various points. (There should be a tech sheet with the details for where you should put the multimeter and the values you should get.)

Depending on the readings you may need to replace the User Interface and/or the CCU. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/control-panel-parts-for-whirlpool-ghw9150pw0.html as some of the parts.

I hope this helps.

under door switch pull down the plastique tab (some tine black some time white) about 1 cm.. you will have to slide your hand in there and it aint easy but the tab is there..

F06 Drive motor tachometer error The control is unable to properly detect motor speed and the machine will shut down. If a failure occurs during high-speed spin the door will be unlocked after 3 minutes.

Potential Causes

• Check wire harness connections between the Drive Motor/Tachometer and the Motor ControlUnit (MCU), and between the MCU and the Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Check the Drive Motor
• Check the MCU
• Check the Wire Harness

Replace failed component.

I think these problems are related to water inlet, take off the hoses from the back of washer and you will find a screen in the outlets clean with old tooth brush until clear.

Unfortunately F06 E02 is a very bad error. It means you have an interface communication error. That means that the main control board isn't communicating with the front interface control board. You can pull the washer out and remove the 3 screws coming in from the back of the top panel. Next, the top panel will pull straight back, up, and off. Now check all the wire connections between the two control board and make sure they are all secure. If everything looks good, then the interface control board will need to be ordered and replaced.

Hi,

The F06 code will indicate 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.
The error code F06 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 a service technician to check the connection.

Hope this helps.

f22 is a door lock error try this hit cancel turn your dial to another setting, hit start and once it starts hit cancel again and it should unlock. thats what i did anyway.
If you're getting an F22 error, you will want to check anything to do with the door latch switch.
