The control board is unable to properly detect the motor speed. If you have a volt/ohm meter I can give you a few checks that will help whirlpool duet f6 e1 you diagnose the problem. Always unplug or de-energize electrical equipment before removing covers or attempting service. Be careful and wear appropriate hand protection when working around sharp metal parts. You will need to gain access to the MCU (Motor Control Unit), and ohm the motor windings and the tachometer (see images below). The image that shows the MCU connection should be as it is in your washer, there should be 5 black wires and 1 green wire. The black wires are as follows,

pin 1 on top and pin 5 on the bottom (see image). Set your meter to read resistance and check pin 1 to pin 2, pin 1 to pin 3, and pin 2 to pin 3, these should all read approximately 6 ohms. Next check pin 4 to pin 5, it should read approximately 115 to 125 ohms. If any of these readings are not very close to the values I have given you, check continuity on the wires from the MCU to the drive motor. If the wires check good, the drive motor is bad and will need to be replaced. If all readings are close to the values I gave and there is not an issue with the wires the MCU will need to be replaced. You did not give me the model number; therefore I am unable to help you with any part numbers.

Report This by Manage My Life August 29th, f06 error code whirlpool washer 2009 I have a Whirlpool Duet washer model GHW9400PW1. It will run for about whirlpool duet washer error code f06 e02 5 minutes in a rinse and spin cycle. It then goes to spin and an F6 code appears. I checked all

connections and found them to be good. I performed a continuity check at the motor and found pins 1&2, 2&3, and 1&3 to all have an infinite resistance instead of a 6 ohm reading. Six http://www.shopyourway.com/questions/1071098 ohms is stated to be normal while an infinity reading is abnormal. Is the motor bad or is the MCU bad? What else can be checked to determine which component is defective without purchasing both parts and tying the trial and error method? Share it!

The first image below shows the wiring and pin locations for the motor. The tachometer resistance through pins 4 and 5 should read 118 ohms. Make sure that you checked the correct pins. If the resistance through the motor windings reads open (measures infinite resistance), then the motor will need to be replaced. If the tachometer resistance is open or short (reads near zero ohms) then the motor will also need to be replaced. If the motor tumbles but does not spin, then the motor windings cannot be open. The tachometer could be bad. This would prevent the washer from spinning and would result in the F6 error code. If you recheck the motor based on the information below and it is okay, then you could have a failed MCU (motor control unit) or a bad CCU (central control unit). You could also have a failed wiring harness or a wire harness connection problem. Make sure that you properly check the wire harness connections on the CCU. The CCU is shown in the second image below with the wire harness connections labeled. If the
