Our washer gets an "F1" error message when it's got 17 minutes remaining in the complete cycle. any ideas?
Cliff
I purchased a Kenmore HE2t (produced by Whirlpool) as soon as I powered the unit up I received an F01 code. I contacted sears service who instructed me to unplug the unit and wait 5 minutes, then reconnect. This cleared the unit until my forth wash load in which it simply locked up with an F01 code. I called for service - two weeks until they can schedule (rural Canada), and if it's the control board Part# W10201186 another 2 to 4 weeks for availablity. This is a washer that is only one week old with 3 loads gone through it. Whirlpool needs to admit fault with it's components and admit the need for a recall. I've told sears that 4 weeks for a repair to a one week old washer is unacceptable and I want a refund or exchange - be assured I will research the replacement Kenmore product to ensure it's not a Whirlpool. (The contract service tech for Sears admitted that the HE series are prone to control board failures, especially in rural areas (power quality related?). Unacceptable for a $950.00 washer (Cdn).
The following list of codes indicates a possible electronics communication problem with the washer:
Cabrio washer - F1, F2, F40, F41, F42, F50, F51, F52, F53, F54, F72
To remove the error display, press Pause/Cancel twice.

If Pause/Cancel does not work:
NOTE: If the error remains on the display, call for service.

The only board that works is W10201186 as mentioned, current service flashes show a old board part number. Comment by guest that part W10189966 was ordered might give a oL code because the pressure sensor on the board is faulty causing a overload at the motor exceeding 26 amps.
We have a Kenmore Elite Oasis HE, we have been having problems where the electronics will not even let us select anything or start the Washer. The stock control panel was a W10112112, I ordered the replacement from Sears and they sent me a Replacement Control Panel W10189966 - I installed this last night and it would not work, kept flashing F2. We spent almost 2K on the Washer/Dryer at Sears and they are junk. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks... none of those solutions will work. The unit upon repower automatically goes to an F01, regardless of the duration left unplugged (2 minutes or 2 days).
Hii,
I have had the same problem, however it took 1.5 years before it happened. Part W10201186 is back ordered for another month. I have already waited 1 month. We found on line a replacement part of W10189966 that I just ordered.
I have code on my whirlpool cabrio wahser f-54 any help
F1 code when the washer (cabrio he) locks the top load door. Not a power supply problem.
Would some one tell me now how much will cost me to fix fault code f01 on kenmore washer since nobody can help me with the problem.
