What Does F1 Mean On Whirlpool Dryer. There are several common situations whereby a Whirlpool Cabrio dryer will not start. The F1 fault code indicates a primary control board failure.

Set the mode selector dial to NORMAL. When the Whirlpool Cabrio displays an F1 error this means the the control board is having difficulty communicating with the motor. On the control panel of the Whirlpool Duet dryer and similar dryers you push both a Power button and an actual Start button to use the dryer.
Set the mode selector dial to NORMAL.
The pressure transducer air hose tubing being pinched or crimped can cause this. Some Kenmore Oasis dryers have a motor control board in addition to the primary control board. Turn the washer off. To reboot or reset the control board on this type of dryer you can try unplugging it or shutting off the house breaker to completely disconnect electrical power for 3 minutes.
