F01 - There may be an internal problem with the control, attempt a Hard Reset.

Hard Reset - In some cases the control can be non-functioning or may not accept activation from the control panel. To clear and restart the control follow the these steps:

* Unplug or turn the circuit breaker off for 30 seconds.
* Reconnect the unit to the power source by turning the breaker back on or plugging the unit back into the wall outlet.
* Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the "PF" in the display.
* Start a short cycle to check the operation of the machine by selecting a cycle and pressing and holding the start button until the machine starts.

The F01 generally indicates a failed electronic machine control board.
This error code can sometimes be caused by a glitch or power surge through the electrical lines.
You may be able to clear this code by unplugging the washer for 5 minutes.
If the code returns after plugging the washer back in, then the electronic machine control board will need to be replaced.

The procedure for accessing and replacing this control board is shown in this image...

Be sure to unplug the washer before accessing internal components.
When you access the control board, I recommend transferring the wires from the old control board to the new replacement control board one connection at a time.
Once you have all of the wires transferred, remove the old control board and mount the new control board in the washer.
Reassemble and test the washer.

The "F01" error code indicates a communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the EEPROM onboard the CCU.
The "F01" can also be displayed if the onboard "Pump Driver" fails to activate.
Generally in order to correct this failure will require replacing the CCU.
There is no way to test and verify if the control board has failed.
The technical data sheet basically states to replace the CCU.

SOURCE: wont start, error code f01

The F01 error code indicates a communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the EEPROM onboard the CCU occurred. This type of failure generally requires replacing the Central Control Unit (CCU). You could try disconnecting the power cord for a couple of minutes and then reconnect the power cord. If it continues to flash "F01" I recommend calling a service technician to remove and replace the CCU.

My whirlpool dryer is giving me the F01 error code?

The F01 error code usually means the main electronic control board has failed and will need to be replaced. Sometimes it can be just the thermal fuse causing the error but in most cases it's going to be the control board. If you need more help you can visit the link below and get troubleshooting advice.

Error code F01 E02

For how long did you unplug the power cord? If it was under 5 minutes, unplug it for longer. Check if that clears the error code. If it doesn't, the motor control unit needs to be replaced.

Please double check your model number to get the correct part. Most of the Whirlpool washers have model numbers that start with 3 letters.

I hope this helps.

MAYTAG 3000 F01 CODE

It's probably a weak or failed component on the board. It's a common issue on those machines and the Whirlpool Duets. It's usually burned at the motor relay or heater relay.
F01 error code flashes when there is a primary control failure.
The only thing which will solve an F01 error code is a new machine control board. These is a catastrophic control board failure. Nothing can correct it. The part number you require is W10205977.

Has an f01 error

The error code f01 indicates the primary control board failure. Before you replace that board I suggest that you unplug the dryer for 2 minutes then see if the error come back. If it does replace the board part number W10110641.

Showing F01 error code on readout? what does that mean?

Hi.

It depends on the model. On Whirlpool built machines F01 is EEPROM error, pump drive error, or main relays error.

With Hotpoint F01 means defective triac or defective motor.
