Our Washing Machine keeps shuting down and showing F11. What does this mean

Contact costomer care font don't do anything. Otherwise machine will be damaged

if its a Kenmore model then this message says that the button control board has lost sight of the main control board , but its been my experience that this maybe able to be reset and it may never come back or it will not reset and the control board will need replaced (50/50)


cycling power may reset this

Turn off washing machine...Press and hold temperature button turn on machine whilst still de-pressing temperature, holding down both buttons,let them both up together, press soil type for 2 secs, then turn off and message should be gone.

Hi,

Is the machine showing a "code" like FdL or F11 in the window where the numbers count down? The machine won't start because it thinks there's a problem. FdL and F11 are often times the codes most displayed when the machine beeps and won't start. FdL means a door lock problem and F11 means a motor or motor control board problem. If it's flashing either one of those codes the problem is most often the CCU circuit board in the machine (inside, top, back, plastic case) The CCU circuit board has what's called cold solder joints causing bad communication between the CCU and the door lock and/or the motor or motor control board. The cure for this is to remove the case with the circuit board then remove the circuit board and resolder the points on the circuit board where the spade connectors and relays (5 of them) connect to the circuit board. If you're good with soldering techniques the job is easy. If not, take the board in the case to a good appliance repair shop (along with this response) and they should be able to help you out. Good luck.

I'm judging you have a front load Duet washer. The F11 code means there is no communication between the central control unit and the motor control unit. Whirlpool has some poor quality control on it's circuit boards and there's cold solder joints that cause F codes like yours to show-up. All the relays and spade connectors on the upper circuit board need to be touched-up.

You should have an error code legend in your owner's manual. Check to see what "OE" relates to on the washer. If not in your manual, you should be able to determine what the code relates to via LG's website. You may need to contact an appliance service company.

Kenmore Elite HE3T washing machine error code F28, what does this mean?

Hotpoint Error Codes.



Hotpoint washing machines are among the most common found in the Uk and like any mechanical device they will occasionally breakdown or develop a fault and need repairs.
Being a very popular make means that most parts supplier will keep there parts in stock and because so many suppliers keep Hotpoint parts stock this also drives competition hence driving down the price of parts if you should ever need them

One problem many people including some engineers face when faced with a faulty Hotpoint washer is knowing what the error code mean, so here are a list of error codes and there meanings for Hotpoint washing machines

These error codes can some times have a E in front of the number and not a F as shown here, but the meaning of the code is still the same



# F11 - This means there is No hot fill.The ambient temperature is probably below freezing perhaps due to the plumbing becoming frozen. Also verify that the taps are on or if the drain hoses are kinked.

F11 is a serial communication error. It is recomended to check connections from the motor control unit to the ccu. We are looking for the blue wires that carry info from component to component. The ccu is on top under the cover positioned in back for older machines and front right for new machines. The mcu, motor control unit is behind the kick panel below the door and is front left usually.Again we want to unplug check for dark or crusty connections if not to carefully reseat the connection and not only the blue serial wires but power as well. Remember to first unplug the machine and while you work the machine can reset, 30 minutes is typical.

Hey, I know it's probably late, but I'm having a similar problem in that it's not spinning and I'm getting an error message of F 02. Did you have this problem? How did you fix yours? Please let me know, I need to wash clothes for my son's prom tonight. Thanks.
