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

First, attempt a hard reset of the machine’s electronics. Unplug the washer from the wall outlet.
Wait for at least 5 minutes to allow the internal capacitors in the control board to fully discharge.
Plug the washer back into the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
To replace the board, unplug the machine again and remove the top panel.
Locate the main control board, disconnect its wire harnesses, and remove it from its mounting.
Install the new control board, reconnect the wires, and reassemble the washer.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
