Whirlpool Washer F01 Error Explained
The whirlpool washer error F01 means there is a communication error in the eeprom circuit of the main control board, another words the main board cannot access or read/write to its memory chip. Steps to take to fix the Whirlpool washer F01 error are listed below:
- Sometimes a power glitch or power surge can cause this problem so the board may need a hard reset to restore proper function. To reset the board unplug the washer or kill power to it at the breaker / fuse panel. After 5 minutes restore power and see if the washer will start a cycle without the error returning, if so its should be fine.
- If resetting the board did not work above then the only solution to repair the problem is to replace the main board otherwise known as the CCU (Central Control Unit).
