Cody July 26, 2012 for Model Number 11045994400 My washer is driving me crazy!!!! It will start a cycle and then flash f11... I then take the top off and push in the connections and it will start again and run for about 10 min then flash f11 again.. what should I replace in this instance? I know exactly which connector it is.... is there any chance i can solder the connection back together?
1 Answer Cody, Would it happen to be the M13 connector ? this would be the wire harness that transmits the MCU information to the CCU. You don't want to be solderring connectors or pins on a circuit board, unless you're really experienced and good at it. What you may want to do is check the harness for frayed wires or loose connector pins, check each wire for a "closed" circuit, then replace the CCU WP8182689 or harness WP8182212. Thanks Read More...
Robert June 21, 2012 for Model Number GHW9100LW1 Is The Mcu The Same Part As The Ccu On This Model????If Not Where Is The Ccu Located...
Richard June 18, 2012 for Model Number khwso1pmt2 The F11 error code is showing up frequently about 80% of the time. I replaced the MCU worked great for a few days but then started the F11 again. The washer will wash some loads completely but others will have the F11. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Richard, F11 is: Serial Communication Error Communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent correctly. Check for: Check Wire Harness connectors to the MCU, the motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU) Check the Drive system for any worn or failed components Check MCU Check CCU Check Motor Check Wire Harness If all the connections look fine , then it’s possible the CCU is reading wrong and will need to be changed I have found that in the instance of a F-11, it can sometimes be corrected by simply unplugging and reconnecting the connectors one at a time. Many times though, the control board has an issue with either the relays on the board or the solder joints. Read More...
Mary B May 13, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool Duet sport front load washer, about 4years old, bought new. Washer worked fine with previous brief episode of error F7, resolved. After a move, found new problem with first attempt to use washer. Received error code F28 at beginning of last Spin/rinse cycle and machine stops. This is in every setting except spin/drain setting; during this setting, the timer advances ok..no error code, but it won't spin. I do believe I hear the pump attempting to work. Technician came out, cleaned out the drain, checked voltage on CCU and CMU, reset machine and watched it run through filling, spinning, draining....did not realize at that time, code wasn't coming on till last spin and drain. thought it was ok. He now believes it is "probably" the CMU. Expensive fix, any advice or suggestions?
1 Answer Mary, The F28 error, usually indicates an issue in the MCU. " F 28 = Serial communication Error". Did the servicer check for possible loose connections in the harnesses ? and that the door latch assembly worked correctly. If there aren't any loose connections, and the washer wasn't damaged during the move, Then you'll want to start at the MCU. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Robert J. April 15, 2012 for Model Number GHW9150PW1 Ordered new mcu board part number 8182706. It does not match number you refer to in your forum. Getting F-6 failure. Tried checking plugs all seem good. Washer just will not spin anyway is there areason for part number discrepency?
1 Answer Hi Robert. The control board part # W10756692 is for your model #. F/06 Drive Motor Tachometer Error. 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 3 minutes. Potential Causes • Check wire harness connections between the Drive Motor/Tachometer and the Motor ControlUnit (MCU), and between the MCU and the Central Control Unit (CCU) • Check the Drive Motor • Check the MCU • Check the Wire Harness. Motor part # WP8182793. The tach circuit is included with the motor assy. Thank You. Read More...
Sherry March 19, 2012 for Model Number gwh9160pw1 Washer front load duet Flashes F 11/ check motor and continuity checks out in the 6s. Could this be the MCU? I hate to spend $200 and it not be it. All connection seem tight and can drain with the drain/spin cycle but locks out F 11 when ready to spin. Please help laundry backing up and can't afford a tech.
1 Answer Hello Sherry. Unplug washer or disconnect power. Check wire harness connections to the MCU, the motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU). Check the drive system for any worn or failed components. Plug in washer or reconnect power. Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor. Check the drive motor for powered rotations. 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. Replace the MCU W10756692 if the motor is good. Hope this heps.

Narendra March 03, 2012 for Model Number ghw9150pw0 Part Number: AP3861856 Whirlpool duet front loadin washer. I ordered MCU 8181693. Trying to disconnect wires. Is there a special technique to remove these wires. Can remove only the top one. Any help on instructions? Do I need a special tool to disconnect?
1 Answer Hello Narendra. The connectors have a clip on them that you will need to press to release the connector and pull it off the MCU W10756692. Hope this helps. Read More...
Will February 26, 2012 Have a whirlpool duet steam washer, four years old. Got an F25 error. Checked ohms on motor and tachometer, motor leads at 7 ohms and tach at 197 ohms. Replaced MCU and now still getting F25 error on certain cycles, usually heavy duty cycle with steam. What's next, replacing the motor? Thanks
1 Answer Helli Will. Check and make sure the wiring harness is good on the unit. If so, you will need to replace the motor on the unit. If there is a bad connection on the wiring harness, it will cause the code. Hope this helps. Read More...
James C. February 23, 2012 for Model Number 110o44832202 I had a lightning strike took out computer and washer all the lights come on the panel. Only the water comes in nothing else is working no wash no spin. Would that be the main board ?
1 Answer Hi James. If you are getting 120 vac through the noise filter part # WPW10367632, it feeds the main control board part # WP8182222. One way to tell is to smell the parts or you can visually see burnt connections. Inside the cabinet is a folded up tech. sheet that will assist. you in the field service test and the wiring diagram. It also may be that the door latch part # WP8182634 is not closing all the way and allowing the wash cycle to start. The codes will tell you @ which circuit and components are effected. The volt / ohm meter part # MA-DM1 will aid you in all of this. Thank You. Read More...
Devin D. February 04, 2012 for Model Number GHW9150PW1 Our Whirlpool Washer began making noise and we noticed it was not turning. Thinking it might be the rubber belt I took it off. Belt looked fine so I Spun the tub, smooth as butter. Went to spin the motor and the pulley was striped out on the motor shaft. The splines on the pulley are stripped, motor shaft splines look fine. Can I order a new pulley and tap it on the motor shaft? How about just welding the pulley on to the motor shaft? The motor appears to be in very good shape. It would be a shame to buy a motor just for the pulley.
1 Answer Hello Devin. No, if the pulley has come off the motor, you will need to order and replace the motor WP8182793 in the unit. If you weld it, it will be off balance. Hope this helps. Read More...
