SOURCE: Keep getting F1 error code

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

F1 error in your whirlpool cabrio indicates bad control board and should be replaced to resolve the error code. However, you can contact Whirlpool as well prior to replacing the control yourself as I have seen whirlpool paying for the parts themselves just because this is known to be a common issue. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

What does code f1 mean

Hello

Error code F1 means that the control of washer has either gone bad or about to go bad. This is a common issue with Whirlpool Cabrio washers. I have also seen them replacing the control without any charge, don't really know about the labor charges but they usually won't charge for the part. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

What does "F1" mean when you are attempting to wash clothes in the Whirlpool Cabrio TOP Load Washer

A fault code of "F" then "1" flashes when there is a primary control failure. You will need to replace the machine/motor control assembly. Page 14 and 16, in the manual, will help you with this.

What does the code F1 mean?? We seem to be getting it a lot when starting a load

Hi,


The "F1" error code on the Whirlpool cabrio is quite common, and generally has to do with the control board. Replacing the control panel may resolve this issue. However, I believe Whirlpool is aware of the F1 issue with the Cabrio, and is fixing some machines for free. Please call 1-800-253-1301 for more details and see if you are eligible for a free repair.

Thank you !!

Whirlpool Cabrio is showing a error code of F1 what does that mean?

Typically, we're going to be looking at a pressure sensor failure here, although there are a few possible culprits. There's some pretty detailed troubleshooting here:
