Product review (1 stars): Whirlpool Cabrio Washer w/ 6th Sense Technology - Top Loader
We are having the same F1 issues, as all the other reviewers.  Very frustrating & expensive.  The only real fix for this is a $75. service call, along w/ a $300. fancy computer control board part, plus tax.  So, we have put up w/ the beeping, F1 flahes, and restarting our washer, for months -- to avoid this excessive repair (the same cost as some new, basic washing machines.)  Not sure if we will go w/ the fix, or just a new, simple GE washer.
Whirlpool definitely needs to recall this finicky, faulty washer!!
