At 4:00 he whispers " OH Shit, I think I just broke off the tabs" . Sounds like someone trying to sound like they actually have done this type of work before . LMAO. Go watch SamuraiRepairman video if you want to really know how to fix this problem
most of the time if the drum does not move during diagnostics the problem is the MCU and or the associated wiring. If the drum moves then it is more than likely the CCU and or the associated wiring . A bad MCU can also take out the CCU. It's nice to have known good spare parts to swap out a suspected bad part. Reminds me of my airline mechanic days :)
I had this set of symptoms: I was getting the F-11 Code when the washer first started filling the water, and before the drum started turning, in a regular washing cycle. When I ran the diagnostic test, I would get the F-11 code at the C:03 step, and the drum would not move. I ordered a new Motor Control Unit (MCU) and swapped it out as this person did, and the washer works properly now.
BillBennettASC how much did you end up paying? I don’t know much about washers but had some guys come looks at it and quoted me about $450. 😕 mine stops at C:03 step as well.
I had that code I cleaned out the water level tube as well as the rubber tube in the back the drain tube and everything was fine but I would like to know why my fabric softener dispenser fills with water but will not empty and will not take fabric softener where can I get the diagram to show how to put that together
By inverter, do you mean the MCU, or Motor Control Unit (actually never heard it called an inverter before). And the upper unit is called the CCU not CPU, lol.
I'mont sure what camera you are using but you should try and focus it a bit better or, thing about getting a go pro so you get better clarity and a nicer field of view.
For anyone watching in the future, those relay contacts can also deteriorate. Removing their covers and cleaning the contacts will fix this for a while. Swapping out the two relays one to another, as one has high current and one has low current, will fix the problem for a longer period of time. This will require some soldering skills. The relay that has lower current going through it does not corrode nearly as badly.
You must be the boss lol, it's a Whirlpool not a Maytag and the MCU is a VFD not an inverter. 35 years working in the field as a robotics engineer taught me to differentiate between a good tech and a desk jockey. Nice try but your title should be shotgun fail because you did zero diagnostics and didn't fix anything. 50/50 MCU / CCU? so you've never seen a poor communication cable connection, bad communication cable or failed motor? Motor resistance across the each of the three delta windings should be 6 Ohms that would be your clue you're dealing with a VFD not an inverter. This video does nothing for the DIY repair individual but waste their money buying an expensive component that may or may not be bad.
I found the video that shows me how to take apart the bottom to the drain plug!!!
Over 60 videos watched over span of 2 months and I found it!!

How do I run a diagnostic without a prewash or rinse hold option? These options are not on my Whirlpool Duet front load washer.

Resolder the relays on the CCU. Fixed. Look for "micro" cracks in solder.

This is not troubleshooting a problem! This is parts swapping, swinging in the dark. Get your meter out and isolate the problem. Prove what it is.
exactly what my son would say lol.
Danger Danger The reason you continued to get an F11 is you plugged the small blue wire data cable in backwards to your test board.

How would you isolate if it is the CCU or the MCU? Motor can be checked for resistance and wiring can be checked for continuity, that I understand
