Robyn S Puyallup , WA July 08, 2016 F1 error code I have a 9 year old whirlpool cabrio washer that was giving me the F1 code at the beginning of the cycle and then started at the spin cycle as well. I took pictures of the control panel area with my phone so I knew where to place the wires back as they didn't match from the video. I followed the video, pausing each section so I could stay caught up. it was so easy. Thank you! Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
