I get an f06 and e01 error and the door is locked. How can I reset the washer?

    I had the same problem.
    I found two smoked parts on the MCU (motor control unit). See the picture. This board is trivial to replace (30 minutes) but costs $200 from Sears or Amazon. Part number is Whirlpool W10374126. There is a video athttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OfwNr0e...

    It looks like a manufacturing defect. I'd like to know how many others had this exact same failure. Also note that the door unlocked by itself after about 10 minutes if you leave it plugged in (on my Maytag washer).

F6 code is an issue with the motor drive tachometer.

Most often this is caused by poor connections at the machine control or motor controller. Locate the main machine control by removing the top panel and the motor control by removing the rear panel. Remove each connector, one at time, and reinstall. If this does not work, you likely have a faulty control.


E1 means that the thermistor is open and needs to be replaced. The connections can be loose but the most likely cause of an E1 error is a bad thermistor.

If you're comfortable and confident in your do-it-yourself skills and have access to a volt/ohm meter you can check and replace this part yourself.

For replacement parts - head on over to SearsPartsDirect.com - PartSelect.com - or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.

Hope helps.

The error f06 appears on display of ariston hotpoint model wdg8640
The User Manual for this model was of no help ... other than to suggest unplugging the unit which you already did ...
I could not find specific error codes for your model ... but F06 on Hotpoint washers in general have two definitions for F06:

F06 - Door lock fault
Issue: Washing Machines door cannot be opened or closed / when the door is closed the machine the programme will not start.

F06 - Program selector dial

Since you are having door issues ... then I would say the door lock is indeed the problem.
Check to make sure there is not any debris in the door lock insert, but my guess is that is not your problem.
It could be the latch on the door or the lock switch mechanism in the machine housing. Odds are it is the locking mechanism

Here is a Hotpoint You Tube on how to replace ... but it is not for your specific model

What is causing error codes F06 E01?
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.

Maytag Maxima front load washer "master reset"?
To start, E01 and F06 means that your main central control board (CCU) and the motor control board (MCU) are not communicating with one another properly. The motor control board is located under the tub mounted to the floor of the washer. The CCU is mounted under the top panel of the washer and is the part with about 100 wires going into it. You'll want to remove the top panel and the lower front panel to check the wire connections and make sure they are all secure. If everything looks good, then you just have to somewhat guess which control board you want to replace first, either the MCU or the CCU. The problem is that there is no way to test and determine which part is faulty so it's just a guessing game. That's what makes this one of the worst errors to get. I generally replace the CCU first as that is the part that shakes around a lot more during spin and it's the first place that the power goes from the power cord if there is any fluctuation in power, so it makes since that this part fails more than the mcu.
There is no Master reset. The only thing you can do is unplug for 1 minute then plug back in.

I have a whirlpool duet steam and reads codes F06 E 02 and replaced the electric controller and now reads F06 E01
OK your almost there. The switch or Latch that locks the door is faulty or bad. It is either that or probably not connected to the right terminal. New control board!!! That was expensive! Good luck!
