I had this same problem, an intermittent F06 fault. After some searching, I did manage to fix it. If this error code happens to you and you know a bit about electronics, try taking apart the timer and looking for dry joints between the main board and the perpendicularly-mounted microprocessor board. Over time vibration can cause the soldered joints between the two boards to crack and fail intermittently. 10 minutes to disassemble plus 2 minutes with a soldering iron could save you a $400 repair bill.

Can anyone tell me what F06 error code means on the whirlpool 6th sense 10kg washer? and what to do about it as the screen is flashing but the door to the machine is locked. Thanks

F06 Drive motor tachometer error This error occurs when the main control unit fails to detect the motor speed from the tachometeric generator fitted to the motor either through an incorrect resistance or the tacho is not correctly fitted into place. The machine will try to detect the reading several times before aborting the program ans shutting down with this error being displayed.
When checking ensure that the drive belt and belt tension are okay as this can cause this error.

Check tacho resistance
check tacho placement
Check wiring for shorts
Check wiring harness connections between motor and main controller
Check drive belt for damage and tension

The error code F/H for this machine means that the drain pump is blocked. Look at your manual for how to access the drain pump and clean it out. This will resolve your issue.

What is that an error F06 for Wirlpool awm 1000 ex

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Whirlpool's 'F06' suggests that there is a problem with the motor speed- no motion detected, sorry. Looks like a service call ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
