I need replace the control board?
When the Whirlpool Cabrio displays an F1 error, this means the the control board is having difficulty communicating with the motor. To fix your F1 error, you can first try to unplug your washing machine for 15 minutes and then plug it back in. If this doesn't work, you will need to replace the control board

Whirlpool did a recall on this problem here is there number try this first. Whirlpool 1-800-253-1301
On a number of ranges this can mean a number of things, the most common being
a failed ERC(EOC, Clock assembly)or a faulty touchpad. Firstly if you are using
a recent Maytag range it may pay to test the oven sensor as described above
as this may cause an F1 error if faulty (may apply to some other ranges as
well) this is not a common cause but is worth discounting.

not likely. first thing is to unplug the unit for a few minutes. then plug it back in and try to run any cycle again.
if the buttons are hard to push, then you may have a "user interface" needing replaced. if it won start on any cycle, then it might be a control board.
i would check to see how old this is as it might be under warranty.
if its not covered, then call whirlpool and ask if they can help you with the cost of the repairs.
you would be surprised to find out that they do give concessions on alot of these to keep people happy.

F1 means the control board is shot. Call whirlpool and they should take care of the parts and labor even though your machine is out of warranty.

If you own a Whirlpool Cabrio and are experiencing an F1 error, you're unable to finish or start a load of clothes. When the Whirlpool Cabrio displays an F1 error, this means the the control board is having difficulty communicating with the motor.
To fix your F1 error, you can first try to unplug your washing machine for 15 minutes and then plug it back in. If this doesn't work, you will need to replace the control board. The only tools that you need to replace the control board is a Phillips screw driver and a 1/4" hex head driver. Be sure to unplug the machine from the electrical outlet before performing any repairs.
After unplugging your Whirlpool Cabrio washer, carefully pull the washer away from the wall (Watch your drain hose and the two inlet hoses.) Next unscrew the 3 screws located on the back of the Whirlpool Cabrio. Next, take a picture or make note of where each plug connects to the control board. Next, unplug each plug and the pressure tube. Lastly, unscrew the 1/4 screw then remove control board. Replace with new control board and reverse your steps to install. The new board will fix the Whirlpool Cabrio F1 error.
Hello & Welcome to FixYa
F1 error in your whirlpool cabrio indicates bad
control board and should be replaced to resolve the error code. However, you can
contact Whirlpool as well prior to replacing the control yourself as I have
seen whirlpool paying for the parts themselves just because this is known to be
a common issue. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.
