my Whirlpool Duet washing machine begins the cycle, but after a few minutes, it begins flashing the code F 06. What does that mean. What do I need to do to stop this problem. I have a lot of smelly, wet clothes that need desperate cleaning.

The User Manual for this model was of no help ... other than to suggest unplugging the unit which you already did ...
I could not find specific error codes for your model ... but F06 on Hotpoint washers in general have two definitions for F06:
F06 - Door lock fault
Issue: Washing Machines door cannot be opened or closed / when the door is closed the machine the programme will not start.
F06 - Program selector dial
Since you are having door issues ... then I would say the door lock is indeed the problem.
Check to make sure there is not any debris in the door lock insert, but my guess is that is not your problem.
It could be the latch on the door or the lock switch mechanism in the machine housing. Odds are it is the locking mechanism
Here is a Hotpoint You Tube on how to replace ... but it is not for your specific model
This error message means an electronic communications problem. Press pause/cancel twice to cancel the error and then disconnect the power cord from the outlet, wait few minutes, plug the power cord back in and select a new wash cycle.
If you see the same error again then you need to check the connections located between the drive motor and motor control unit.
I had this error and engineer said the meaning of the codes on the web are wrong as they don't like to disclose their real code meanings for pure protectionism reasons. F06 on IWD7145 is a burnt out door interlock IDC error. He replaced the part number C00085194 (replacement door interlock) and microritardator part number 085194 and it works ok now.
Whirlpool (Kenmore) 'F06' states 'tachometer failure, no motor movement detected'.
Sorry but this requires a service engineer's attention I suggest ;-0(
If this has assisted and/or clarified the situation for you please consider a 4 thumbs up on our rating.
Thanks and good luck!
