Sears Oasis HE F1 Code

Absolutely LIVID - I used to just get an F1 code exactly 3 times when I started the load - now I can't leave the room. I got a recall letter, but my model number was not included - just called and was offer a diagnosic for 65-95 and estimate. They act like they have never heard of this problem - yet I find it EVERYWHERE on the internet. What kind of company does not stand behind products they are AWARE have problems? It is criminal and if anyone knows of any higher power I may plea to - please respond. $1000 for this piece of junk and I will have to pay another $35 to have it hauled away.

The F1 error code on this washer indicates a Primary Control Board failure.



It is likely that the machine control board will need to be replaced to correct this problem.



The part number for the machine control board is undetermineable because you have not provided me with the exact model # of your washer.



The procedure for replacing the machine control board is provided HERE

NOTE: Be sure to unplug the washer to disconnect electrical power before accessing internal components.



There is a slight possibility that a problem with the pressure switch hose could be causing this problem.

A pinched or twisted air hose can cause this fault code.

When you open the console, check the air hose connected to the pressure switch on the machine control board.

If it is pinched or crimped, I recommend rerouting the hose to resolve this problem.

This may fix your problem without replacing the control board.



NOTE: You may want to check for this condition before ordering the control board. Most electronic control boards cannot be returned for a refund or credit.



If you find no apparent problems with the air hose on the pressure switch, then replacing the machine control board on this washer should correct your problem. There is a risk involved in replacing this part yourself.

As noted above, you could have a problem with the air pressure hose that is not apparent upon your initial inspection. A service technician would normally need to properly and thoroughly diagnose this problem before replacing the control board.

F1 appears on my oasis washer what is f1?

F1 is a base code you need you put unit in to service mode to find out the fault code, to put it in service mode press 2 rinse on for 4 sec. off 4 sec. on 4 sec. off 4 sec. on for sec. and that code will tell you what is wrong if it is a f-68 code it will need a new main control. sears will replaced it if you call them with a model and serial # for free in most cases

F1 code coming up on my Oasis HE washer

YES! Serious problem...more annoying than anything else. Wait until your machine stops at the spin cycle and displays "F1" again. We just had a repair tech out today and received a quote of $384+ to fix/replace the circuit board. Kenmore & Sears are fully aware of this problem and have issued a recall on a model that is one digit off of the model I have yet they will not do anything about this even though it is the same problem. These machines are huge dogs!

Kenmore Elite Oasis HE getting F1 code. What does this indicate?

your board is confused and cannot read water level, very easy fix, pull off console(three screws on rear) and remove clear hose on right side of main control. blow into with your mouth and clear tube. reconnect hose and try, if F1 continues main control will need to be replaced, Sears is offering this for free if your unit falls within a certain serial number range, Also a biggie.....You must use he soap only with the oasis....no exceptions.....
