I had an E1 F9 code. I had a blocked drain filter as I suspected. This video for taking my washer apart was Exactly what I needed.

My Maytag maxima machine posted these error codes, and this video helped me fix it, thank you! I had to take apart the front, and found my drain plug completely full of junk, muck, coins and more! Sadly though, the drain wasn’t the problem. To get to the MCU, I took apart the back, which was an easier angle for me. I checked the circuit board on the MCU by removing it from the plastic casing. Then it was plain to see on the underside of the board where it met the plastic, that it had burn marks. Totally fried. I purchased a new one for $300 and solved the problem! I was hoping for just a plugged drain, but happy that I was able to save some money on a repair person by fixing it myself. Thanks again!

Thank you for the video. Unfortunately my problem was not the drain but the MCU. I ordered it off ebay and was able to complete the repair. Couldn't have done it without this video.

You Sir, are the MAN! I had F06 E01 flashing on mine. After watching this and seeing a dirty filter can cause this it dawned on me that I washed my dogs bedding and enough hair was removed to insulate my attic. After disassembling and cleaning everything the error cleared and I was able to finish my laundry.

Wow, you are the greatest! My Machine was clogged and your video help me fix it myself. You save me hundreds on a service call, Thanks

Subbed and saving this video. My whirlpool duet exactly like yours just broke down today with error codes F06 and E02. I'll need this video to help and guide me fix the washer myself.

Checked the drain pump screen and it was clear. Ordered the mcu and now it works. But as some others have mentioned, don't take off the front panel. You're better off servicing from the back since you have to take it off anyways for the mcu. Thanks and enjoy

Had error code F06 E01/02.....took back off ONLY and was able to clean out drain and replaced MCU and the washer works perfectly!! Thanks guys, for all the help!!! Don't take off the front and door, you don't need to!!

Thank you so much for this video my washing machine just broke and it was giving me these error messages - it's Christmas week and I don't have the time or money to wait for repair man, so I waited for my husband to go to sleep and as a fairly bougie stay at home mom I was able to fix my machine!! It was very easy!

Huge THANK YOU! My whirlpool Duet washer gave an E01 and F01 error. It’s about 9 years old and was able to access the drain filter from the front (followed all your steps) but noticed the rubber lining was difficult to unhook. There was enough slack in this to move the front panel away and access the drain plug. Thanks again for posting this! The issue was a plastic toy gold coin that must have been in one of my kids pockets about the size of a silver dollar coin. 😆

This helped so much!!! Helped me avoid an expensive repair call that I was able to do myself in under an hour.

I had a error code F06 E02 opened it up, the filter was a little clogged but it didnt fix the problem, so i replace that control Board and then it worked. Thanks ebay 100 bucks

Thank you for making this video. I got an E01/F01 flashing code tonight, followed your directions and now we're back in business. OBTW there was a dime in the drain obstructing the water flow.

Thanyou Soo much you gais save me alot of money iam did clean the filter on my washer and get good results thank for your videos

Thank you. This really helped. Mine was harder to get to and at a bad angle but this helped me fix it and it took less time than I thought. ❤️

If your error code is E01 and F06, the problem most likely has nothing to do with the first part of this video. E01 and F06 most likely means the MCU needs to be replaced, which is much much easier to access by removing the rear panel. Remove the rear panel and the MCU will be down on the lower left and is easy to remove. There is a small clip on the lower part of the white box that is facing you. Release the clip and slide the box towards you. Then, once you disconnect the wires you can remove the mother board by releasing the three clips that hold it in place. Search for a small burn mark on the inside of the white housing. If you see one, you'll probably also be able to see the damaged motherboard. MCU. That's what you need.

I did everything like you did in the video, the drain was completely clogged (twice as bad but I made 73 cents in change in the trap). I cleaned the door and put everything back together. I start a wash cycle and everything starts up and sound the same to what I am used to hearing except when the water should start to fill up, there is silence( and yes, I turned it back on), then the F01 and F06 code pop up. I unplug the machine checked the water hoses and blow air threw them. Tighten everything up, plug it back in and try again. Nope, same codes. Then I read all the comments and someone unplugged ti for a few minutes. Tried this and ran another cycle. YEAH YEAH YEAH. Woman vs machine... Woman won!!!!!!

Thanks big help. Was clogged with major stuff.

Thanks so much for posting this! Worked like a charm!

Thanks for the video, its easier to remove the door and get rid of the extra weight; its only 4 screws And you can also leave the door wires on and remove the entire module, 2 screws on the face front

I had a solid front panel Whirlpool Duet wfw95hexl2 Machine stopped with F06 E02, tired to run diags and motor didn't turn (not sure if this should have clued me in on MCU failure but this happened). After a a power reset I had F01 E02 (F06 went away, likely cause the motor would respond at all), so I then tried cleaning the trap (as indicated in this video but it didn't help, was pretty clogged though so it was good). No need to remove the front door completely, just stop watching at 1:23 (You can definitely remove the trap from the left or right side working with the door in the way.) The pump is held in place with a rubber red grommet, you can turn that grommet 90 degrees and then slide the pump assembly towards you, this makes it easier to drain into a shallow pan. (or wife's cookie sheet). If the trap cleaning doesn't fix the problem DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE MCU THROUGH THE FRONT. on this style of machine trying to unplug the wires is by no means easy word easy. Simply pop the 12 screws and open the back up, the MCU is in the lower right left corner, snip the ziptie holding some of the wires to the MCU housing, disconnect the three wires and remove the unit. I got a factory new MCU for 180 at the local Sears Parts and Service center. Replacing the MCU solved the problem, but I suggest plugging it in and running through a 30min rinse cycle to be sure your unit is working.

Thank you! Was a pain to put back together, but it solved our problem without spending $$$. 👍🏻😀

We took a 4 inch hole saw and cut a hole in the bottom where the coin catch is. Used a shop vac to suck up the water while reaching in and un screwing the catch. Clean out the catch and carried on. Way easier than taking the whole thing apart, especially when you have a stacked set. Stupid design not to have easier access to the drain catch

In terms of removing and reinstalling that ring that holds on the rubber seal, just remove the top weight and the clamp is right underneath. To make it even easier, unscrew the 'frame' that runs behind the face plate and also the nut that 'suspends' the soap dispenser drawer, after which you can move the frame gently out of the way and simply unscrew that clamp. Having this extra room takes this part of the job from mystifyingly complex (why would they design it like that?) to logically simple (though still a mite painful.)

This worked for us! Thanks! The pump was jammed with strands from a rug. Googling F01 error code says it’s the control board, so I doubted it would be the pump/strainer.

thank you very much. it fix the problem

thank you bunches. you really are a life saver

Thank you! Great video. The only thing I did differently was to remove the seal from the door as well. I found it really difficult to put the seal back on and fight the door too. Although getting the seal back on the door was difficult as well due to the spring tensioned metal band. I eventually used a pair of shoelaces to work it back in place.

Great Video. Here is a good tip. If you get your washer all the way down to the coin catch on the pump...take the pump out too and inspect. This will save you from having to do the disassemble and reassemble again because there was something stuck in pump (hockey tape).

A trusted Maytag repairman said it would be $900 to fix and that I was better off buying a new one...so I did! In fact, I bought a new set...as the washer goes, so does the dryer not too long after!

Very helpful! Thanks!

Thanks so much for posting this video. Drain was full with gunk, coins and a key (now I have an extra house key). That rubber tub seal and wire band was a bear to put back, but got through it and my washer is happy again. Is making sure the inner tub seal is seated before use prevent larger objects from getting into the drain catch?

Thank you man.

thank you brother you really helped me out

Thank you! This video saved me!

If you took the front panel off to clean the filter - It needs to be put back on to trip the mounted ground switch or you will get a F6 error

You don't have to take the door and front off everything can be accessed from the back if you can move it out. Just remove all the hex screws and remove back panel . The pump/coin catch is just mounted on rubber feet and can easily be pulled off and cleaned from there. Also the MCU is right there as well. To me far easier than removing the door etc.

it is easy to take off the front bellow clamp instead of the inside clamp bellow will stay with the outer Shelf

Attention......if you are about to perform this task ...DO NOT REMOVE THE BELLOWS ( grey rubber door seal) FROM THE REAR as shown in video , just remove it from front around the door opening , it’s much easier,and you can reassemble everything and then attach seal last !!!

thanks guys it worked great I sure wish we had the lower panel

My washer wasn’t starting and was flashing E01 then F01. So I finally found out it was the filter. So I removed the junk, there was a lot. But I’m still getting the error code...do you think I need to change the drain pump? I looked at the control board and there’s no burn marks on the back anywhere, plus I just put a new one in a year ago

Desperately need a second video to show the trick to putting that wire band and rubber gasket back on. By far the hardest part of the repair for me. Otherwise very helpful!!

did the fix now the set the washer to normal setting and the normal light just blinks and nothing happens when I press start? Any suggestions?

If you want to get at the mcu then go in through the back it is easier

Thanks so much for this informative video! My son and I were able to take the washer apart this afternoon to diagnose the problem. The drain was clean, so I'll order the MCU. Do you have any tips for changing it out?

Mine is throwing codes E01 and F06. I pulled the filter out and it was terrible; a cloth face mask was in there. I just KNEW it'd work like a charm after I buttoned it all back but no. Is there a way to reset these machines or erase the codes or should that have fixed it? I tried unplugging for a few minutes and still no change.

i have a eo1 fo1 error code. i tried cleaning the drain but still getting the error. will this work for me?

I had error F1 E02, I tried all the normal fixes and nothing worked, but after leaving it turned off at the mains for 15 minutes it worked perfect

saved the day bro~!!

I have a front load Whirlpool model WFW95HEXU that is not filling with water and will not spin, the drum can be spun manually after turning off machine. Error codes shown are F:01 E:02. what do you think is the problem ? The circuit control panel and the drain. or could it be the MCU?

also, the tip of taking off the top weight block was key

while you have the front panel iff cut out and access hole for the catch

We have Maytag MHW8000AW0 and got E1 F6 code. Removed a tire front panel as described, cleaned out drain, which was full of various items, replaced. Still shown E1 F6, so we purchased a new MCU, once it arrived in mail, completely replaced and found burnt terminals on old MCU. Now with new MCU is in place, washer turns on, but when we try to start a wash, nothing happens except the typical beep. Door won’t lock, no common sounds of wash wanting to start. Any clue? The replaces MCU was OEM and an exact match for Old MCU

Took about 3 hours, they don’t , Make it easy, control box was way in the back, hard to disconnect. Tip: slide it away from you to dislodge it.

In my Maytag Maxima, I heard a pop follow by a (hint of a electrical burning smell) now it reads F06 E02. I am assuming this is the MCU because the motor is not coming on?Even though the manual says CCU to UI. Thoughts?

I cleaned the filter. Luckily mine has bottom access. The filter was full of coins and hair. The only problem I have is there is still a flashing f-1 code. Does it need to be reset? Is this normal?

Thanks for the video! Now I’m trying to but it back together. It is hard to but the rubber and metal ring back on. Any suggestions?

Hello I have a Maytag Maxima MHW6000XW0 - I have cleaned the drain out same issue unresolved. When I run throught the quick diagnostic check it stops at C000 and will not advance further. The door locks and will not advance any further - I hear a clicking noise that appears to be comeing from the control board as if its wanting to go further but will not - does that sound like a MCU issue?

Awesome instructions, it fixed my machine! But HELP! I guess I didn’t put it back together correct cuz it’s leaking water. What did I do wrong?!

I’ve had my repair guy out twice , the filters been cleaned out, he replaced a part I don’t think it was the MCU (can’t remember which one ) but it was still throwing the Fo1 O9 and SUd codes but NO backed up suds so it’s misfiring for some reason. I can’t figure it out but maybe changing the MCU is the last step. It’s driving me crazy bc the washer still has years left on her I know it. I have to figures this out. If anyone has any ideas for a machine still throwing those codes after all these things have been done , please help🙏🏼🙏🏼thank you! 3:15

I have a whirlpool duet washer front load the door was stuck and wouldn’t open I took off the front panel reached up and pulled the plastic ring unlock the door now I still have an F -01 code same as before

ANY VIDEO ON F1/E1 FOR KENMORE TOP LOAD THANK U

This was mostly helpful. Unfortunately, you skipped over how to remove the wire band. You mentioned it but didn't show it on the video. I got stuck on that part.

Good day! How i fix my whirlfool washing machine error EA

Okay, I replaced the MCU on my whirlpool duet. It finally worked for a week.. and then.. started throwing the same code. F6 E2. Why would it work and then stop? Was the part I bought faulty? Or do I need to replace the CCU as well? I have double checked the MCU and it looks fine, no burn marks, still looks new. I need help!!

I took it all apart it was loaded full of coins and a heck of a lot of other stuff cleaned it all out and I still get codes do I need to reset something to remove these codes? Thanks Joe

You shouldn't have removed the gasket from the inside. You could have just remove the spring clamp around the door.

Are you kidding me!? I have to take the whole door and front off just to clean a filter/trap! That’s a very poor design, Damn it! Anyway, I took the rubber seal off from the door panel side, seems easier to put back on than the drum side.

So i have this code, but my clothes are locked in the washer. How do you get the door to unlock?

I cleaned the drain. Started it up but I don't hear any water to start the cycle. Same error. Would this still mean that the mcu needs to be replaced?

I have a front load Whirlpool Duet Washer which stop during mid cycle, not draining, shows codes E01, F09 and "SUD" Do anyone know what this means?

Omg you make it so much harder take the from spring clamp off and take the screws off for the door latch it takes 5 seconds to do omg!!

Usually it's the motor that has failed.

Hello, how do u fix a machine if its saying “EdI” im not sure if its a the number 1 or the letter L or I

I have a whirlpool duet (front load washer) error codes F06 & E02 blinks on display and "Door Locked" keeps flashing (I can't open the door) Help

How can you tell if the board is bad???????????????????????????

Why won't you just take the door boot off the front?? Instead from the main outter tank. It way easier!! Also way less chance of have a leak or leaks.

so great directions, awful design. found 6 cents, a few stones, lots of hair and a half dozen breastfeeding bra pads!

Very interesting video. The error I am getting is F06 E01. I was told that is likely the CCU, not the MCU and if it was the drain that another code would pop up. I ordered a new CCU and replaced it, but after I turned the machine on I got the SAME error code, so I'm thinking that is not the problem. I'm about to return the CCU and was about to give up on the machine altogether. Do you think that the MCU or the drain being clogged is the problem with that error code?

While this was very helpful, how the heck do you loosen the wire band clamp around the inner seal? You skipped right over that part, simply saying you need to loosen it. I can barely get to it, and it looks like it’s a screw that needs to be loosened. I can’t get a screwdriver in there....

ok thanks

I got E01/F03 does anyone know what I can do ? Help, please!

Do NOT remove the clamp holding the tub boot seal to the tub. You're just looking for trouble and hours of needless heartbreak. And even possibly a flooded laundry room.I wonder why he never showed you how he put it all back together? Just remove the spring from under the lip at the front part of the door deal.Pull the gasket off the lip and tuck it inside the doorway. DO NOT disconnect the wires off the door lock. Remove the screws securing it and push the lock back. With the panel screws out,the panel will easily be removed. You're welcome. I may have just saved your marriage. You're welcome.

my door is locked and has the cods to dose that mean something else is wrong to thanks

How do I clear the code after removing the obstruction

i removed the drain cap and cleaned out the drain. still has error codes.

I have error rES. What is that mean?

what size socket takes out those bolts

Iam getting E01 /EO3 together on whirlpool duet front loader how do i fix that

How do i clear an f21 code

what does F- mean on a whirlpool duet

I had the F06 E01. The MCU was bad. The MCU had a bad bridge rectifier GBU8J, you can get this part for $2.

Ok how do I just unlock it to get my half-washed wet clothes out 😡

If the MCU is so easy to change...then why NOT show it DUH !
