Duet Sport Whirlpool/ Kenmore/ Maytag Dryer Error code F 01

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- Dryer not working , main control panel bad connection check control board. The dryer is 5 years old has been running good for a year and a half since fix.
Work on your dryer at your own risk. please know what you are doing.
UNPLUG DRYER WHILE WORKING ON IT.
update keep your dryer top surface clear of anything on top of it. This allows the heat not to be trapped between drum and dryer top which can heat up the control board.
Update I have noticed that if one keep setting on auto sensing as the dryer gets older the dryer can run far more longer than its suppose to thus overheating and making a high amount of heat thus connection gets burnt out. I use Timed drying to play it safe instead of Auto setting. My fix will be going on since October 2013
Your video was so helpful, I am not sure words will do justice. At home with three little ones, loads of laundry and no dryer. Panic set in. Thanks to your video, I was able to pull the dryer apart, repair and restart in an hour...by myself! Called for repair and was told I couldn't get a tech visit for 3 weeks! You saved the day Mr. Vassallo!!! :)

We received an F01 code on our duet dryer. Silly us thought we would call a service guy out who would solder it for us since we had no soldering experience. He came, never took a single panel off or unplugged the dryer. He turned on the dryer, received the F01 code, and he said it would be roughly $362 to repair it because it needed a new board. I told him no thanks, and he left with our $65 service call fee. My husband and I drove to town, bought a $10 soldering kit at Northern Tool, brought it home, sanded the spot, soldered it (again, neither of us have experience), put everything back together, and it worked perfectly. We had already taken the board out; however, we drove to town and back, soldered, and put everything back together in 40 minutes. $10 vs $362 vs new dryer. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!! We are now subscribed.
Wow great story. I am glad you guys saved money and fixed the dryer. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Our family dryer was giving this F 01 error yesterday. Because of your extremely helpful video our family has dry clothes again and I am a hero. Many Thanks.

Keith Pike your welcome thanks for watching.
We followed these instructions and fixed our dryer in no time. This saved us the cost of a new control board. Many thanks.
Melissa Lewallen u r very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Our drier had the same problem... I youtubed the problem and saw this video. I followed all the steps shown in the video and FIXED my drier.. I was very thankful for seeing this video... The board is $364 and I fixed it for about $10... Thanks George! You the man!!!
Dan C Great ! Thanks for watching!
Same problem for me, same pin, same burn spot. Never had a successful solder before, but had an old iron and solder in the garage. This was the easiest solder to make. Plenty of room to work and didn't have to be precise. Worked like a charm. Thank you!
Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching please subscribe.
We did this and our dryer is now working again!! Such a relief! We just had our washer and dryer both break down in August so I was not happy when our new (but gently used) dryer stopped working on Thursday. But we watched your video and did it all like you showed and it took about 40 minutes and now it is working. Thank you for sharing this trick. It was a life and money saver!
You are welcome thanks for watching please subscribe.
Another satisfied viewer here ! Mine is the Kenmore Elite model. Board is in a different area in the top but there is no difference in removal. Wife was freaking out, because we just can't seem to catch a break financially these days. Well, sir, you gave us that. Thank you so very much!
Good for you! Thanks for watching!
George, I must say thank you! My wife is shocked that I fixed the dryer for no cost! I have subscribed and appreciate your great TH-cam video. You have enabled us to cancel the service man and saved us at least $250.00, awesome!
Delaware Teacher I have to do a shout out to my wife and daughter...I have been replying to comment (your) welcome. they have pointed out to me (grammer police) it's you’re welcome! I am glad you fixed your dryer on your way to go DIYer and TH-camr!
Thank you for this fix. It took 1 hour to fix and you saved me at least $400 if I called a repair man. Works great. Your instructions were easy and exact. Thanks again

George, you are my hero! I had the same error and same burned motherboard. I followed your video and made the repair in less than an hour. The repair only cost me $25 (had to buy a soldering iron and flux). I really appreciate you posting this video! Thank you!!!
John Grant your welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thanks, you saved me having to buy a new dryer. I had the same bad solder joint on my dryer, so I followed your video and soldered the joint. Now the dryer is back to normal with no F01 fault.
You are welcome thanks for watching please subscribe
Found this on you tube and thought I would check it out before I spent $300 for a service call/repair. This was exactly the issue and with my $11.00 solder kit fixed the problem as seen on this video. Couldn't believe it, thanks so much!!!
Your welcome. Thanks for watching!
My Whirlpool Dryer just had the f-01 code and I looked for a video like yours as the last result. I couldn't believe I saw the same issue. I cleaned the area, applied flux and soldered with 6337 solder. The fix was a success saving two hundred dollars or an 80 dollar send out the board to be repaired. Thanks...
You are welcome thanks for watching please subscribe
I did exactly what you did the only difference was that mine did not have a burned spot but you could clearly see where the solder on the same spot was missing. Thank you so much God know I couldn't afford to call a repair man!
Your welcome . Thanks for watching!
My dryer went down on Memorial day 2015. My wife panicked so I went to You Tube and found your video. I did exactly what you said and it worked. My wife was so impressed because I can't fix anything! Thanks, you saved me serious cash $$$$$$$$$$

Thank you so much for sharing this video George. Dryer coded last weekend and we pulled it apart today and your fix worked!!! You saved us a lot of shopping and a control board!
your welcome glad the video helped!
This video showed exactly what I found when I got everything opened up, did the repair as was described and was back up and running within an hour. Obviously saved myself hundreds of dollars. Thanks so much.
your welcome, Thanks for watching.
You are awesome!!! My husband is not really a fix it type and our dryer just broke today. I googled this and was able to fix our dryer myself! Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you....
I woke up at 5am to head out and buy a replacement dryer on this Black Friday after the required part was $300. I was researching the error code some more this morning and came across your video. $22 for a soder gun and 30 minutes of labor my dryer is working again.

George, you were right on the money! I had the same burn mark on the plastic housing and it was the same bad connection on the circuit board. A new board was $95. Thanks for your help.
You are welcome thanks for watching please subscribe
THANK YOU!!! This worked! Thank you so much! Saved $323, the quote provided by Whirlpool. I am a female with manicured nails and typically not a do it yourself person. The most difficult part was disassembling the dryer and disconnecting the wires! THANK YOU so much for sharing your experience!
Wow good for you! I am so glad your fix worked out. Thanks for watching!
George Vassallo Hi George - I followed your video to the letter. My board didn't have an obvious burn mark like yours did. I found the solder you fixed your board on my board. My board's solder seems a bit worn down but not burned. Any chance it might be a different solder giving me the F-01 code? Any other suggestions from you or anybody else here would be really appreciated. Thanks
try re-soldering the connection.
George, thank you for the instructions. The repair worked for me on a Maytag Epic Z that was purchased in 2009 or so. The only concern was the solder would not spread very well. I did very lightly sand the connection and used rosen core solder.

Wow, I am thrilled to say this worked for me too. Thank you SO MUCH for posting it in such detail. Figured I didn't have anything to lose, but I'm not sure I would have done it right without the great video. You're the man.
Thanks for watching glad the video helped! Good for you. I am glad you fixed your dryer on your own!
100% success on this repair on our dryer!! Thanks for the easy to understand instructions.

Hope you can fix it? Thanks for watching please subscribe.
Wow, 6000+ views! You'd think there'd be a recall for this seemingly common problem. Fixing mine today, although there was no need to take anything but the lid off cause the board slid right out. Good attention to detail.

Thanks - worked great. I used cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean the black carbon from the board and cover. Thought this might help prevent a repeat since the carbon is conductive.
Bernie Carrick your welcome! Thanks for watching.
Exact same problem paid 140 to be told I needed a new dryer,,,discovered this half hour and its working fingers crossed thankyou
Hope the fix works...........sorry about the $140. Please subscribe.

Followed your instructions for my Maytag Epic Z Dryer (has the W10111606 part in it) - the F01 error is gone and everything works great! Thank you for saving me more than $200.00! God bless you!
Great...Thanks for watching!
Good fix. My board had the same bad connection. After soldering and before putting back together I plan on cleaning all the lint and dust out which means more disassembly. The motor and sensors might be operating at the hot end because of all the dust and lint in it.
Thanks for watching. I just changed my thermostat no video. The dryer shuts down when cloths are dry now. Please subscribe.
this fixed our dryer as well. the relay lead burned out. simple solder job made it work again. saved 100 or so bucks with 20 min of effort.
you are welcome Elizabeth...please subscribe.
I had the exact problem you described in your video. I fixed my dryer exactly as you suggested and the driver worked. Thank you so much you saved me at least 300.00. I'm very pleased with you help.
your welcome. Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I just happened to google the model and make of my dryer and there was my F code and your video!! We (meaning my hubby on the tools and I on the laptop) opened it up and it was EXACT!! After running to town to buy a soldering wand and back again he had it fixed in minutes!!! YEAH!! Saved me over $180 to do it!! THANKS AGAIN--It really does work!!
your welcome...thank for watching!
watched your video (on a Sunday when no parts were available) and fixed the dryer with no problem, worked great -- thanks

I had the same error code and when I got to the control board it had the same burn mark. Thank you sooo much for saving me money and frustration. Such a simple fix, but I wouldn't have thought of it! My dryer is 8 years old and this is the first problem I've had with it. thanks again!

Thanks so much for the fix - save me $387! Seems like a design flaw that Whirlpool has to be aware of...probably programmed to blow out after a few years to keep us buying parts. Also have read that heat build up could contribute to it so we will also not be storing items on the top of the dryer anymore.
+Chad Miller update keep your dryer top surface clear of anything on top of it. This allows the heat not to be trapped between drum and dryer top which can heat up the control board.Update I have noticed that if one keep setting on auto sensing as the dryer gets older the dryer can run far more longer than its suppose to thus overheating and making a high amount of heat thus connection gets burnt out.

Great video. Had the F01 code. Took it apart and sure enough, it needed to be soldered. $26 for the soldering iron and solder versus $300 for the control board or $700 for a new dryer. Dryer is working and the repair took less than an hour.
David Luhr I am glad you fixed it! Thanks for watching.
thank you so much! you just helped my family save $400! that was a quick and easy fix. I enjoyed the part where it took all three of us to do it together (dad, brother, and me). great family activity actually! :)

Just had this issue and this was the fix. 3 screws hold the top, 2 screws hold the board bracket. Solder as mentioned. Took me about 15 minutes tops.
Thanks. Did this fix. Worked great. No wonder they make so much money replacing the boards. I wold never have know if not for this. .
Thanks so much for posting this video! Just fixed my dryer!

Boxing day 2017. The dreaded F01 alarm appeared on my dryer. Thanks to the maker of this video it is back working in 2 hours. I spent most of that time tying to get the dryer vent reinstalled. Stuns me why I see 31 dislikes in the voting area. Do they dislike life in general? Great video!!!!!

Problem was exactly as described. The repair worked like a charm only I used a brass wire brush for electrical connection cleaning & my Weller soldering gun. The connector on mine for the red & black power connections to the control board was very difficult to remove - afraid I would break something else trying to disconnect it but "gentle" perseverance pays off. The only down side to this repair was that the wife had her heart set on a new drier. She kept saying "let's go look for a new one" while I was affecting the repair...

I have a Kenmore HE2 dryer. Same board. Same problem. Or should I say it was the same problem. 20 min start to finish fix! Thank you!!!
Your welcome glad you fixed it!
Thanks you very much George. Came back from Toronto to Montréal at night my wife was waiting to get it fixed after she called Maytag service. Over the phone service said it was a fuse on our electric panel. When I reached home at 9h30pm and tried what service said. I look at your video and my wife was drying childrens clothes at 10h10pm. You save me time - money and I got an happy wife. Many thanks

Worked like a champ. Pretty sure the manufacture and its supplier know this board is not very robust. It's good to know we now have options versus spending $200.00 to replace something that was of poor design and quality in the first place.2 minutes ago•

First attempt failed, only because I did a poor job soldering and after reading about 50 comments, I figured that I can't be the ONLY one that couldn't get it done. 2nd attempt worked like a charm, THANK YOU GEORGE, you're one cool dude in my book, wish I could give you Two Thumbs Up :-) PS subscribed!
