Jenkle, F then 1 flashes when there is a primary control failure. There is a couple of things you can try. 1. Unplug the machine for 2 minutes and see if the error returns. If it does, try activating the auto diagnostic mode. With the washer plugged in and all indicator lights off, select any key except power, start and stop. Here's what you do; press/hold for 3 seconds, release for 3 seconds, press/hold for 3 seconds, release for 3 seconds, press and hold for 3 seconds. If you did it right all indicators will light and 88 will appear in the display. If there are any faults, they will then display, look for a F-60 through 68. This will confirm the board is corrupt. If no faults are found the machine will go through a five minute automatic test cycle. To stop the test, just press stop/cancel. Check your owners manual and see how long the board is warranteed.

My suggestion is to sue Sears and let the media know!

Kenmore
One year old Kenmore Oasis Elite top load. I have the same F1 problem. when you start the machine it will start water and go straight to the F1 code. If you stop and start a few times it will work. Hot and Cold water at inlet are fine. When I went throught the diagnostic procedure I get an F and then 68.
Same exact problem. Have had it about 1.5 years
I also have a Sears Kenmore Elite Oasis for one year and one month and I just had the same thing happen today. I called Sears and they told me that the next available appointment would be in threee weeks and that I would have to pay for a service cal l. They also had me down as purchasing the set in 2005 instead of 2006.
Is this a joke or are these machines made to work only for a year!!
What happened to their quality??
I have the same problem purchased 12/13/06. F1 error and F2 error and now C error. Called sears today and out of warranty one month ago.
Hi everybody,
We had the same Kenmore OASIS ERROR F51 as described in many postings. We had 3 visits from Sears and at the last visit two weeks ago we requested the replacement of the the RPS sensor a $ 45 sparepart and the problem was solved. The machine can be loaded to brim and works just fine.

I did the on/off diagnosis & got F68. What can I do next? Do I have to call Sears or can I call my local mechanics? Thanks.
I went thru the press/hold process 3x's and now get a F-32 flashing, but still nothing. now what do I do?
