It is not the maf. What is the actual trouble code in the computer? The parts store guys are not mechanics, but they'll sell you lots of parts before your car is working again.
Find out what an F1 code for your dryer means. Google it, with your make & model. When you know that, it will tell you what the dryer thinks the problem is, and probably what to do next. Since you replaced the board, it could just be a loose or mis-connected wire.
The Whirlpool Cabrio and Kenmore Oasis (same machine) are infamous for this problem. Depending on the serial number you may be entitled to a new control board installed for free under a recall program. Call Whirlpool for eligibility. I had just had mine replaced last week for free and it runs fine now.
F1 error codes almost always mean a problem with the main control board. Some control boards have a 5 year parts warranty. Hopefully yours does, otherwise it can be a very expensive repair.
This could still possibly be a bad power supply, even if the fans and drives spin up. If you have a spare try hooking it up.
the list of things that can cause this are:
bad power supply bad ram IDE error (optical or hard drive problem) bad card (modem, video card etc.) bad processor bad board
The first thing i would look for in this case is blown capacitors. Those are the little things on the board that look like little soup cans, usually with silver tops. If the tops of any of them are bulging or have junk leaking out of them, you have a bad board. If you are handy with a soldering iron you can try to replace them. Not sure if radio shack still sells caps, but they are easy to find on line. I have about an %80 success rate fixing boards in this way.
If the PS change doesn't work, then try it with different sticks of RAM, if you have more than one, pulling one at a time until it starts or you've tried it with all the ram. If not ram, disconnect the ide cables from the board, these are the wide ones usually connected to the HD's and optical drives. If it still doesnt start then pull all the cards. If it doesnt start then, try swapping processor and if still no joy a new board.
According to GE, the F1 fault code indicates a problem with the Electronic Range Control (ERC) Board. If the fault cannot be cleared, they recommend replacing the ERC and the touchpad. Has your repair guy tried any of these ideas? Post back with your comments, please.
I really need to know the make and model but most F1 are a bad control board..
F1 Analog to Digital Failure Disconnect from power for 30 seconds - if display reappears - replace control board
i just had this same issues happen after running the self clean cycle. f1 error, fan would come on, fan would turn off. its not the control board, its the temperature probe. I picked up the part for 40 bucks and put it in myself. plugged the stove back in and it was good to go. the old temperature probe's wires melted during self clean. note to self: clean you over the old fashion way with some elbow grease.
