How to Fix F1 E1 Error (Step-by-Step)

Unplug the washer from the wall outlet to ensure safety.
Turn off both the hot and cold water supply valves connected to the washer.
Locate the main control board. This is typically found inside the top console panel or on the back of the machine.
Take a clear picture of the wire connections to the board before you disconnect anything. This will be your guide for installation.
Carefully disconnect all wiring harnesses from the old control board. Most connectors have a small locking tab you need to press.
Remove the screws or release the clips holding the old board in place and gently lift it out.
Install the new main control board, secure it, and reconnect all wiring harnesses by referring to the photo you took.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
