F11
This code F11 signifies a communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU), also known as the main control board, and the Motor Control Unit (MCU). This means the two crucial components responsible for coordinating washer operations aren't talking to each other properly
Possible Causes of F11 error code:
- Faulty CCU: The main control board itself might be malfunctioning, preventing communication with the MCU.
- Faulty MCU: The motor control unit could be the one causing the communication issue.
- Wiring problems: Loose or damaged wires connecting the CCU and MCU can disrupt communication.
- Water damage: If the washer has been exposed to water damage, it could affect the control boards or wiring.
Important Note:
- Determining the exact cause of the F11 error requires knowing your specific Maytag model and its year of manufacture. Different models might have different interpretations and troubleshooting steps.
