www.ApplianceRepairLesson.com This video explains how to access and replace the control board needed to fix the F1 error code on a Cabrio, Bravos, or Oasis washing machine. Unplugging the washer may fix the issue temporarily, but the board will need to be replaced to ensure the error does not come back
Why doesn’t the manufacture put out a recall on these washers ours broke and they covered the parts but not the labor. I don’t think I’m the only one with this problem after searching on the internet.
We have a Kenmore Elite Oasis and it is a piece of junk!!! F1 errors all the time, the lock on the front broke….$125 bucks just to fix the lock., the F1 errors I would have to press stop then start about a dozen times, then again mid cycle about half a dozen more times. Then the other day during an F1 error it stopped working completely…..tub filled with water and clothes! Now the lights are on but no body is home! Repair man coming out to fix it…. in a WEEK!!! Apparently needs new control panel. the washer is a piece of garbage!!!!!
Hi, and thanks for taking the time to post your comment friend. You are not the only one with those feeling for sure. The Whirlpool Cabrio and the Kenmore Oasis are basically the same washing machine. They both have a horrible repair record and more than one common repair issue. Most appliances have at least one common repair. These washers have several. I know these washers well and have been servicing them regularly for years now. I hope the appliance man can get you up any running.
