Heidi L Menisee , CA July 13, 2014 F1 Did search on internet, found that it was my control board. Found a DIY video, seemed simple enough. Ordered the part from Appliance Parts Pros.. Changed out the part and my washer no longer has the F1 code and starts the wash cycle immediately.. Very simple fix, and I've never fixed an appliance before. Felt like a rockstar!! My hubby was impressed too! 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
