On start up the washer show F1 Ihave to hit pause start 3 time

looks like a faulty contact maybe. See this site:

F1 means the central electrical control unit, i.e. the onboard computer, has fatally failed. Here is a link for you.

Hello, our carbio began flashing the F1 error code at 18 months. I have to hit the pause/start 4 or 5 times to get the cycle to begin. It also flashes occasionally at the rinse cycle (17 min.) I have called Whirlpool 3 times with little satisfaction. They have offered to pay for the part, but I will be responsible for the service call, diagnostic fee, and labor. I am not satisfied with this offer. It is obvious to me with so many others experiencing the same problem that Whirlpool has a quality issue with this machine. The sales rep who sold me the machine said to call Whirlpool everyday until they are sick of hearing from me. The more calls logged about the complaint, the better chance of a recall on the machine. If this is not resolved, I will NEVER buy Whirlpool again.

I have started a petition to be sent to the CEO of Whirlpool Corp., Jeff Fettit.
