Dreaded F06 error in Whirlpool Duet washer
Brand: Whirlpool Age: 1 - 5 years
I was ready to test the MCU and the control electronics to find the problem of a F06 error display, then I checked the spin basket and found it would barely turn.
I pulled the tub drain hose feeding the pump,and found a big glob of lint and some pieces of a broken paddle. Once all the stuff was pulled out, the basket turned freely. Customer was happy to save a lot of money as the next step would be a tub dismantle!
Hope this info helps someone.
I might add that this seems to be a poor design as the lint collects on top of the heater. This makes it easier to jam and harder to clean out.
