I get the F11 code error a little bit right after i select my wash.... i have read that the most common problem is the CCU.. my basement got flooded last week and the water got to the washers door level... so im thinking the water damaged the MCU.. im about to order it... am i correct on my decision? or did it damage the CCU? somebody please help me!
Water up to door level means your motor and motor control unit (MCU) was covered with water. Most likely your Motor control unit (MCU) is damaged rather than Central Control Unit (CCU).
Listen, you have to buy a new machine. If you end up putting CCU and MCU both into a soaked wash motor washing machine, you will be so mad with yourself.
Time to go to Home Depot looking for a new machine.
You use that flooded machine then all your washing machine warranty and liabilities from the manufacturer is out of the door. Even your home insurance may not honor if you knowningly use a flooded machine and something goes wrong.

yea id call them back and fight them to pay for the repair, at least the part , tell you saw it on the internet.. It was one of the trickiest ,wouldnt say common but def. an issue with this machine. In my own experience replacing the top ccu has done the trick at least 90 percent of time.F11 is communincation error between the top and bottom boards, butalso goes through the latch assy as well. and as far as the ccu goes there are 2 out there, check your model before ordering look closely cause a a ghw9150pw0 is a diffrent board then a ghw9150p1( and different by a bout $200 in board pricing)
SOURCE: Whirlpool Duet Washer fills with water when not being used
Water accumulating in the tub is usually caused by two things:
Leak by - which is caused by a water inlet valve malfunction. The valve has an electronically controlled diaphragm that closes to shut the water off when not in use. Over time the valve can accumulate sediment and debris causing the valve not to seat all the way. This is especially true if you live in an area that has hard water, or if you use well water. This will cause water to leak by when the valve is not in use and accumulate over time in the wash tub. You can attempt to clean the valve with distilled vinegar to remove any sediments and flush it with clean water. You will need to remove the valve in order to do this. Sometimes a good cleaning is all it takes to correct the problem. If not, I would recommend replacing it.
Siphoning - siphoning occurs when the drain line is installed incorrectly. The following link explains:

Although the problem usually describes a condition where a washer constantly fills and drains, or cannot maintain the proper water level, it can also cause back flow from the drain. Double check your drain line installation to ensure there is a proper air gap to allow for proper draining. If not, a vacuum is created and drain water can back flow into the washer.
A simple test would be to shut the water supply off when not in use. If the washer STILL accumulates water, you know you have a drain problem. If it does NOT, then you know you have an inlet valve issue.
If you need to replace the water inlet valve, replacements can be ordered on line at searspartsdirect.com. Just type in your model number and look under the "Dispenser Parts" heading for item number 1 (part #8181694).
It is a very simple process to replace. Just follow these steps:
1. Shut off water supply and unplug washer.
2. Disconnect fill hoses from the back of the washer.
3. Remove washer top panel by removing the three screws that hold it in place in the rear. With the screws removed, the panel slides back, then off.
4. The water inlet valve is located in the left rear of the washer (as viewed from the front with panel removed).
5. Disconnect the dispenser hose from the valve and the mounting screw(s) and the valve is removed.
6. Install new valve using the steps above in reverse order.
It really is a very simple repair. I hope you find this information helpful. Let me know if you still require assistance.

I work for an appliance repair company and I had a recent service call for the same exact situation on this washer. I also know that Rotary Position Sensor is linked to the F-51 error code. I have found that this is not always the case. On this paticular call the F-51 error code was caused by a piece of clothing (sock, wash cloth, etc.) being stuck or jammed between the internal basket and the outer tub. I removed the cloth and the washer ran fine, so give that a check first before you spend the money.
