Whirlpool WFW8300SW03 F01 CODE

F01 is a failure of the main control board.you can try unplugging the washer from the wall for 10 mins and restart again. If the code comes up again then you have to replace the main PCB

The "F01" error code is indicating a communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the EEPROM on board the CCU occurred. Generally in order to correct this failure the CCU board will need to be replaced.
Before you cal the repairman, try unplugging the washer for 3 minutes and then power up again and see if the error clears.

Good luck.

For how long did you unplug the power cord? If it was under 5 minutes, unplug it for longer. Check if that clears the error code. If it doesn't, the motor control unit needs to be replaced.

Please double check your model number to get the correct part. Most of the Whirlpool washers have model numbers that start with 3 letters.

I hope this helps.

F01 - There may be an internal problem with the control, attempt a Hard Reset.

Hard Reset - In some cases the control can be non-functioning or may not accept activation from the control panel. To clear and restart the control follow the these steps:

* Unplug or turn the circuit breaker off for 30 seconds.
* Reconnect the unit to the power source by turning the breaker back on or plugging the unit back into the wall outlet.
* Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the "PF" in the display.
* Start a short cycle to check the operation of the machine by selecting a cycle and pressing and holding the start button until the machine starts.

The F01 generally indicates a failed electronic machine control board.
This error code can sometimes be caused by a glitch or power surge through the electrical lines.
You may be able to clear this code by unplugging the washer for 5 minutes.
If the code returns after plugging the washer back in, then the electronic machine control board will need to be replaced.

Be sure to unplug the washer before accessing internal components.
When you access the control board, I recommend transferring the wires from the old control board to the new replacement control board one connection at a time.
Once you have all of the wires transferred, remove the old control board and mount the new control board in the washer.
Reassemble and test the washer.

The "F01" error code indicates a communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the EEPROM onboard the CCU.
The "F01" can also be displayed if the onboard "Pump Driver" fails to activate.
Generally in order to correct this failure will require replacing the CCU.
There is no way to test and verify if the control board has failed.
The technical data sheet basically states to replace the CCU.

I go to our electric breaker box (in the basement), locate the breaker that provides electric to my washer, flip it off and then back on. This should reset the washer. I received the F01 code twice in four years, and each time this has worked for me. Unplugging the washer may reset it but I haven't tried that because I would have to move my washer. Good luck!

I could not find error f01 for maytag, but for for whirlpool, it means CCM(central control unit) unplug washer for 2 minutes then try it.

F01 is not a listederroe code in tech sheet, but almost always( regardlees of appliances or manufacture) relates to bad main power board, in this case hte CCU( central command unit)8182695 retails for about 175. adn is located under the main top assy
