Nick Check the wiring between the main control board and the Motor control board. If the wiring checks ok then the issue will be a faulty motor control unit.

Hello Derrick, The part you are asking about is the motor control board WPW10374126. It will have nothing to do with draining so a blocked drain cannot affect this board.

Hello Alain, you'll want to make sure the harness connections are good. If everything checks out, then more than likely the board would be the only defective part. Thanks!

Hello Barry. Communication issue between the CCU and the MCU. Possible Causes • Check door switch operation. Faulty switch may interfere with power to MCU. • Check drive system for worn or faulty components. • Verify continuity in cable between CCU (MI3 & MS2) and MCU.

Bob, In most cases when the unit will not reach a high speed spin then it would be that the spin enable switch in the door lock is faulty and the door lock would need replaced.

Ryan for Model Number MHW6000XW2

My Maytag washer stopped during spin cycle, and looks to have not drain completely. It was flashing codes F06/E02 and the door would not unlock, would just flash door lock. After loads of research, I opened the front panel to clean out the drain catch and tried again with no luck. Noticing a lot of people refer to the MCU for the fix, but wondering if it could be the CCU. Don't want to spend almost 300 on a part that doesn't fix the problem. The operation of the MCU is for direction of the drum and what not, and the CCU operates the drain, fill, ect. What part do you think needs replaced with said problems/codes?

1 Answer

Ryan, This issue would be more likely in the CCU and not at all in the MCU. The F6 E2 is a communication error between the CCU and User interface. Verify continuity in the cables between CCU (U17) and User Interface (C2). If this checks ok then the CCU will be the most likely cause for the error.

Hello Ronica. Motor Control Unit (MCU) has an internal malfunction, repeating under or over voltage, or over current conditions. Can also be caused by momentary loss of neutral feed to MCU during the spin cycle. If the error occurs during a high-speed spin, the door will remain locked for 3 minutes.

Sandpebble, Unfortunately we do not have a core refund unless there was a package in the unit that said it does.
