F11 code washer locks up

I have a 3 year old whirlpool duet. about halfway through the cycle the washer locks up and shows an f11 code. when we cut off power to the washer for a couple of minutes then turn it on the drain spin cycle it works. this is really aggrevating. these are expensive machines and i expected better. can anyone help.

The shaking and vibration of the washer makes sense.  I took off the top cover and just pushed on the circuit board connections and the washer instantly worked.  Some of the connections did feel loose and by simply making sure they were connected tightly worked.  Save yourself a service call and try this first.  The circuit board is easy to get to.  Just remove the three screws from the back and the top cover comes right off.  This is for both the f11 and f dl fault codes.

    Ours locked up and wouldn't power on, and without researching we bought a repair plan to get it fixed. 1 minute after that I took off the top and found a loose connection. On the phone now trying to cancel the plan.

We've had this problem for about a yr when i finally firgured out how to correct it. the problem is that the circuit board is attached to the washer, when it starts to shake it causes the connections to loosen and theats the fault code you get. How I fixed this was to suspend the circuit from a bungie strap this will allow the washer to shake all it wants and the circuit board is stable, connections stay tight andwasher works fine, after 6 months not one error code at all

I experimented and found that if you set the washer to a different spin speed setting, the washer will complete its cycle. No errors! Cool!

Push Start and Stop at the same time and it will unlock the door..

    The following list of codes indicates an electronics communication problem with the washer: - Duet HT washer - F01, F03, F06, F11, F23, F24, F27, F28, F29, F30, F31, F32, F35, F42, F61, F62, F63, F64, F65, F70, F71, and F99

    If Pause/Cancel does not work:
    1. Unplug washer or disconnect power for one minute.
    2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
    3. Re-select the cycle and press Start.
    NOTE: If the error remains on the display, call for service.

    I would first replace the door latch/lock assembly, a number of users have and it fixed the F-11 error code completely. Its the cheapest part for this problem.

    Hope helps.

    YA, I HAVE A PROBLEM SAME AS THE OTHERS. AND JUST LIKE THE MANUAL SAYS, YOU ARE SAYING TO CHECK EVERYTHING, BUT YOU WILL NOT TELL US HOW TO CHECK IT, WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO SOUND AND LOOK LIKE, WHAT IS NORMAL. SO WE CAN TELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I DON'T HAVE ALL THIS MONEY TO SPEND ON REPAIR MEN WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO. OH AND P.S. F-28 DOES SHOW UP ON THE WASHER SO IT REALLY IS A ERROR CODE.

    Random electrical problems, sometimes it works beautifully, sometimes not!
    F11 = Communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the
    Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent correctly.
    .
    1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
    2. Check wire harness connections to the MCU, the motor, and
    Central Control Unit (CCU).
    3. Check the drive system for any worn or failed components.
    4. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
    5. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any
    cycle.
    6. Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor.
    7. Check the drive motor for powered rotations.
    8. Check that the serial harness at the MCU is not mounted
    upside down. The wires should be to the left when facing the
    MCU connectors.
