SOURCE: Flashing code f01
I have Minimal skill level. But read many bloggs. Take the waste pump off; seriously not hard. Clean out the trap and also the magnetic shaft section in the motor. It rotates about 3/8" and pops off. I had all kinds of gue in the rotating shaft section water must have passed by the o ring.
I took off the top cover and found the mother brd. Hand checked all wires then I took the handle end of the screw driver and lightly hit the cover of the M/B to shake things up a little. Pushed the start button and its been working all night. Seriously if that fails get online and order the M/B it didn't look that hard to unplug some wires and replace. Thats the same as a technician would do. I learned that from my high dollar fridge with a bad ice maker $250 dollars latter 15 minute board swap. Thats why I tried on this one to do it myself.
Thanks!
SOURCE: error code
Hi,
These fault codes indicates an EEPROM error or a PUMP DRIVER error. A communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the EEPROM on board the CCU occurred.
Possible causes of an EEPROM error:
A power glitch may have caused this error. Unplug the power cord for 3 minutes then reconnect power.
Possible causes of PUMP DRIVER error:
The pump driver fails to activate. Replace the the CCU board. Most likely the CCU board will need to be replaced.
Thank you !!
SOURCE: WHAT DOES F01 ERROR CODE MEAN AND HOW DO YOU FIX
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.
