A Whirlpool washer on St Augustine Drive in Canton was showing error codes E01 and F06, preventing normal operation. Our diagnosis revealed two failed components that needed replacement to restore proper function.
The Problem
The customer reported error code E01 and F06 appearing on their Whirlpool WFW95HEXR2 front-load washer. These error codes prevented the washer from completing cycles normally.
Diagnosis
Testing revealed the door switch was out of spec per tech data from Whirlpool. Additionally, the motor control board was visibly burnt, indicating electrical failure that would prevent proper motor operation.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WP8183270 door latch assembly, WPW10374126 motor control board
- Work performed: Replaced the motor control board and door switch
- Result: Error codes cleared and washer resumed normal operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
The WFW95HEXR2 is a higher-end Whirlpool front-load washer with solid build quality. Motor control board failures, while costly, are often worth addressing on these models given their overall reliability and performance when properly maintained.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Front-Load Washers
- Leave the door and detergent drawer open after each use to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth
- Run the Clean Washer cycle monthly with Whirlpool Affresh cleaner or white vinegar
- Check and clean the door seal regularly, removing any debris or soap residue that accumulates in the folds
