The F06 error code indicates a drive motor tachometer error. This error is virtually impossible to accurately diagnose if it is intermittent and not occurring when a technician is present. The most suspect components that would cause this failure code are the drive motor, the motor control unit (control board) or the wire harness. In some instances, this could be caused by severely overloading the washer so that it cannot spin properly.

Make sure that the washer is not overloaded. Another problem that could cause the error code to be displayed intermittently would be a loose wire harness connection that is affected by vibration when the washer is spinning at high speed. I anticipate that the technician likely checked the wire harness connections between the drive motor, the motor control unit and the central control unit (main control board).

Although in some instances this error code could be caused by a failed central control unit, this would be rare. I am not aware of the F06 code being caused by a problem with the user interface control board. This information may help you more clearly understand the failure in the washer.

    Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle. Select DRAIN/SPIN if
    there is excessive water in the washer. Re-select cycle and
    press START.



    After that, you might try unplugging then plugging it in again.

Model 110.45962.400 code comes up f 06

The following link explains the "F06" error code on a Kenmore Elite:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r714929-f06_error_whirlpool_duet_kenmore_elite

In a nutshell, the error is an indication of a Motor Speed problem. This means there is a communications problem between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Drive Motor or Motor Control Unit (MCU).

However, before assuming there is a problem, unplug the washer for at least 30 minutes. In some cases the washer can experience momentary computer glitches. The 30 minute interval is necessary to reset the computer. Sometimes this is all that is required to clear some error codes.
If the error code returns following a reset, follow the advice given in the link to determine the fault.

I hope you find this information helpful. If you require additional assistance, please let me know.

Try shutting off the machine. Switch off Usually the door opens in 2 minutes or so. Do not force open the door. There may be instructions in your book to open the door manually. It could mean unscrewing somewhere.
