Kenmore 110 Oasis Top-Load Washer Code F01: Main control board

Medium · inspection needed

Code: F01
Appliance: Washer
Brand: Kenmore
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What F01 means

On Kenmore Oasis top-load washers whose model numbers start with 110, a Whirlpool-built platform, F01 means a main electronic control board failure. The main board is also called the machine control board, and the code is also read as F1. The control reports that it is defective, so the washer stops the cycle. The owner sees the code and the washer may sit unresponsive. A full power-down occasionally clears it, but a repeating code points to the board itself.

Common causes of F01

Main electronic control board that has failed
Temporary board lockup after a power glitch
Damaged connection feeding the control board

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Unplug the washer and keep it off for 5 minutes. 2. Plug it back in and try a short cycle. 3. If F01 or F1 does not return, carry on as normal. 4. If it does return, stop and call us.

! Why to stop there

Whether the board recovers after a reset or fails again at once
Whether the board connections show damage
The correct control board for your Oasis model

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F01F01 questions

Is F01 the same as F1?

Yes. The display may show F1, and the code is the same main electronic control board failure. We treat them as one condition on your Oasis washer.

Will resetting the board help?

Sometimes. Unplugging for five minutes can clear a glitch. If the code returns after restoring power, the board is likely defective and needs replacement. Repeated codes after a reset mean the board is not stable.

What is the machine control board?

It is another name for the main electronic control board, the brain of the washer. Our visit starts with a test, and the price is written before any replacement.
