DL is a door lock error. This is usually an indication of a bad door latch. F11 is a serial communications error from the Central Control Unit CCU (which is your main computer). If the door latch is defective it could be generating the communications error code as well. A defective CCU can also give the same symptoms, though. Before replacing any parts, however, double check all your connections to make sure you don't have any loose wires. Try to tighten the two screws on the door latch as well.

The least expensive of two possible solutions would be to replace the door latch (about $50). While unlikely, you may need to consider replacing the CCU... can run between $150 and $250. Hope this leads you in the right direction

Samsung front load washing machine 5E Error code

If your Samsung washer is in the middle of a drain cycle and the 5E error code shows on your washers display, it means that the water is not properly draining out of the washer. Something may be clogged, jammed, or blocked and thus preventing water from draining out of the washer.

It freezes on the cycles

Good Morning Juan,

I see that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire Affinity washer, model# ATF7000E, freezing on the cycles and giving you an Error message 11. The E11 states that fill time is too long. There are a couple of things to check in this case. First, you will want to reset your appliance by either unplugging it or cutting the power at the circuit breaker for at least 2-3 minutes. When you restore power you can start a cycle and see if it works. If it does, there just might have been some miscommunication between the different boards inside the washer. If it is still giving you the E11, you will want to make sure that the water pressure is at least 30 PSI. Make sure you're not using any other water sources while using the washer. Also make sure that the faucets are fully opened going into the appliance and that the hoses are not kinked in any way. If you are still having trouble receiving that E11, I suggest contacting the manufacturer for further assistance. Hope this has helped.

-Best Regards-

The washer stopped in the middle of a wash cycle. The error message was 11 F. I turned it off and turned it back on and washer stilled stopped and repeated the error message.

Hi


An "F-11" error code on a Whirlpool Duet could cause your washer to become inoperable and stop in the middle of a load. The cause of the problem could be a number of things and may require new parts.
F11 can mean anything from motor to motor control board to ccu board to wiring harness connecting ccu to mcu to motor.

Identification

The "F-11" code could appear with the dash or without the dash on the LCD screen. Be aware that there is also an "F-H" code that could look similar to the "F-11" code. Listen for 11 beeps to go along with the error code's first appearance.

Effects

The error means that there is no communication between the "Motor Control Unit" and the "Central Control Unit." This means that any operation selected like "Pre-wash" or "Large Load" cannot be sent to the motor for the washer to operate.

Prevention/Solution

Open up the washer panel to check the wire connections between the two units. If any plugs are loose or unplugged, reconnect them. Check to make sure none of the wires are stripped, rusty or broken off. After you reconnect the wires, rerun the washer to see if the error appears again.

Warning

If you do not know or understand the inside components of your Whirlpool washer, leave the job to a professional. Contact the store where you purchased the washer or Whirlpool customer service directly.

Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

Error Message

Your owner's manual may give a troubleshooting guide for the error code your machine might give you. Is it possible you have locked out the control panel? I "think" the calypso has a control lockout, usually a start button or cancel button. If you press it in for 3-5 seconds, it can lock or unlock panel. If all else fails, try unplugging it and see it it will drain out the water.

MY MACHINE GIVES ME A F 11 ERROR AND STOPS

Hi there,
F-11 is communication error between the Motor control unit and the Main CCU. Either of these or both could be bad. Sometimes unplugging all the connections from the CCU (under top panel) and plugging them back in will fix the problem. If fixed, there's a bad connection at the CCU.
Good Luck!

Error message F 11

Communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent correctly.
Potential causes: • Check Wire Harness connections to the MCU, the motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU) (its the
usual thing)
• Check the Drive system for any worn or failed components
• Check MCU
• Check CCU
• Check Motor
• Check Wire Harness

Replace failed component. Check for sharp edges in wash basket of machine. Companies want you to dump your machine & go for a new one, keeps their factories running.

This error code indicates that the door is not locking.
Is the washer door firmly shut?
The door must be completely closed for the washer to operate. The door may look as if it's closed, but it may not be latched. Open the door and firmly close it.
Were you washing a large load?
Before you close the washer door, check for laundry items sticking out beyond the door opening. Leave enough space in the washer to allow the clothes to freely tumble. Reduce your load size if needed.

If Pause/Cancel does not work:
  1. Unplug the washer or disconnect the power for one minute.
  2. Plug in the washer or reconnect the power.
  3. Re-select the cycle and press Start.
NOTE: If the error remains on the display, and all of the other conditions above have been checked, call for service.
