We recently had a flood in our basement and our washing machine had ~ 2' of water around it. Once we pumped all the water out of our basement I took the front panel off the washing machine and let it air out for two days. Once I hooked the washing machine back up and ran our first load we received an F-11 error code. After doing some research online I unplugged the machine, made sure all the connections were tight, and tried a load again. Everything ran as I would have expected it to. Once that load was finished I tried a second load and about half way through that load I received the F-11 code again. I unplugged the machine and ran another load and this time it worked. However, now I am receiving the F-11 code consistently when we run full wash cycles. I am able to run the Spin and Drain cycle consistently without any issues so I assume the motor is good. Since the Motor Control Unit was under water I assume that is what needs to be replaced (Part #8182706) but before I spend the money on the MCU I was hoping there was a way to test out my machine to make sure this is what needs to be replaced before making the purchase. Any assistance in resolving my issue would be appreciated.

Steven for Model Number MFW9800TK0

Answer Hello Steven. Communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent correctly. Possible Causes / Procedure 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Check wire harness connections to the MCU, the motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU). 3. Check the drive system for any worn or failed components. 4. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 5. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any cycle. 6. Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor. 7. Check the drive motor for powered rotations. 8. Check that the serial harness at the MCU is not mounted upside down. The wires should be to the left when facing the MCU connectors.

The washer flashes the F06 code. The diagnostic test did not show any problems...a service tech thought we should replace the MCU but did not do any testing/diagnostic. Is there some diagnostics we can do to try to determine if it is the MCU? The part isn't cheap. Also if I order the part and that is not the problem can I return it? Thank you

Rose for Model Number ghw9400pw4

Answer Hello Rose. The control is unable to properly detect motor speed and the machine will shut down. If a failure occurs during high-speed spin, the door will be unlocked after three minutes. Possible Causes / Procedure 1. Verify the shipping system including shipping bolts, spacers and cables are removed. 2. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 3. Check wire harness connections between the drive motor and the Motor Control Unit (MCU), and between the MCU and the Central Control Unit (CCU). 4. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 5. Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor. 6. Check the drive motor for powered rotations.

Hi I have a Kenmore HE3 washer that simply won't 'power up'. When I press the power button all I get is 3 short 'dings', however nothing else...any thoughts on this? Thanks, John

John F. for Model Number 11047852703

Answer Hello John. Try unlocking the control panel. Press and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for 3 seconds and see if the control unlocks. If not, replace the control board on the unit.

Flint for Model Number ghw9400pwo

Answer Hello Flint, You will want to test your motor to make sure that it is good. You can do a resistance check on the windings of the motor. You should have approximately 3 to 6 ohms resistance. Check wiring from motor to control and up to CCU. If all checks ok then replace CCU.

Hi the washer seems to be working fine, however, I just noticed when the display indicates 1 minute left for the spin cycle which is where it spins in one direction stops then spins in the opposite direction. It does not stop. I've let it run for 10 minutes and it still indicates 1 minute left.

Fred B for Model Number Whirlpool Duet HT

Answer Hello Fred, You will want to check the pressure switch to make sure that it is resetting to empty. If not resetting to empty it will cause unit to continue to rotate. If this is good then you would have a bad main control board.

I've ordered a replacement MCU from you (2954738). What do I have to do to get the old unit out? I've already got the lower panel off and the unit is exposed.

James L for Model Number GHW9400PW4

Answer Hello James, Once you have the lower panel off you would unscrew the MCU and disconnect wiring. Making sure unit is unplugged. Once you remove the wiring you plug wiring into new MCU and screw back in.
