Retiredin1993 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Getting a F06 error. Checked owners manual and it gives an electrical problem. Unplugged washer for 30 minutes and get same code. Plugged into 50 amp service and is good. Any suggestions on what might be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retiredin1993 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Thanks Darryl, I did check that site out, and there are so many things it could be, I think I probably will just replace the whole unit as this one is 6+ years old. Now I just have to research on which is the best brand model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Quick look gives the most probable issue is carboned up motor brushes. A quick swipe with a rag full of brake clean is a cheap solution. Assuming you feel like tearing into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retiredin1993 Posted December 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Darryl, I thought I would just replace the brushes, so I went on line and the only ones I could find on Amazon or EBay were for 220 volt models. I think I will pull the washer Monday and take a look at the brushes to see if they are hanging up and give them a good cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retiredin1993 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Darryl, I decided to tackle the job today. The brushes on one side were ok the other side there were worn pretty good. I tired to find replacement brushes locally and every one telling me that the motor has to be replaced no brushes, the motor is anywhere from $550.00 to $714.00. Hello, a ne3 washer at Home Depot is $648.00. Any way I cleaned the brushes up and the washer is working at the present time. I can not find brushes alone for a 110 volt but can find them for 220 volt for Canada, Germany ant Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 That's a truly crazy price for an electric motor. Must be gold plated, or something. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any difference between 120 and 240 v brushes. Do you have a rewind shop locally to talk to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I didn't think the volts would matter on brushes, so I am going to order a set and see what happens. The way that one side is wearing, it want last long.
