Gonna Have to call the repair man, ARRRRG

October 10th, 2009 at 09:37 pm

My Washer that I bought in April of 2007 (Out of warranty), will not drain.

Silly me (okay I am using another s word at the thought of a repair man). I opened it mid cycle (was going to add am item). And I guess that comfused it so now it is giving me a F01 Error code, and according to the wonderfully internet I am reading that means my CCU is fried. Hope replacing the CCU is not expensive. Not sure what a CCU is but I think it is like the motherboard in a computer except in a washer.

I priced a new washer so I know when a repair is no longer worth it, $1000 and sadly I paid $1400 for BOTH my washer and drier in 2007. What is up with that I thought the economy was supposedly bringing costs down. Will call tomorrow and hopefully get something scheduled for Monday.

I am really sad about having to pay for a washer repair while trying to pay off my special assessments before the 28th of the month.

S word here, I was going to say I hope they take credit cards so I could hold off paying until the 1st but off course I dont have a cc at this time because CC1 did not send me my new card, and I could not find CC2 when I went looking for it when I was trying to fix my laptop.

F F F (ARRRRRRGGG)

Sorry for the foul language but I am really upset.

    This may not work at all - I don't have that type of washer, but Hubster does stuff like this all the time and it works...sorry if it sounds simplistic...

    But, have you tried unplugging it for a while and then plugging it back in?

    Do you have a 'booklet' that came with the new washer? Maybe it will tell you how to reset it - sure hope it isn't fried.

    I woke up this morning wondering if you have a reset button hidden somewhere on that thing?

    Oh that would aggravate me! It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong by wanting to add an item. How many of us have done that before? All the time! I'm with Lux here - unplug or reset. I'd try "rebooting" it first before calling anyone. Appliances are getting too complicated these days!

    I recently bought a front-loading HE washer for $500. Make sure your not getting caught up in all the fancy buttons they add to it. Buy one for your needs and not what the marketing people think you need. All I needed was a washer that had a normal cycle and delicate cycle. I didn't need a washer to do extra dirty clothes since I don't do work that would make my clothes that dirty.

    I tried the "rebooting" thing of umplugging and then pushing the cancel button... No such luck.

    I tried finding a booklet online since I cant find mine. We have packed up and unpacked and repacked the basement like 6 times over the last year and a half that we have been working on finishing the basement.

    To keep from calling the repair man I went to the laundramat today. Spent $6.25 on 3 double loads and 1 triple load. Man I forgot how expensive the laundry is, and that was without drying. I brought it home to dry. I have two dryers so no point in paying to dry. The matching high capacity drier and a apartment sized one.

    I figure next weekend I could get by with having to do a load of jeans for DS and a combo load of long sleeve tshirts and under things, so 2.50. I am glad that I made sure at back to school time I bought him enough jeans to last a week.

    anonymouse - I am probubly going over board because I want the same washer as I have. I have a matching set with pedastalls and so I hate to now after splurging on the pedastalls switch to something totally different. Oh well I will get it fixed sometime after the 1st of November as I think I can hold out until then doing only the must do laundry.

    I'd rethink buying the exact same one that you have now - doesn't sound like a reliable washer. I just replaced my washer, the one I had prior to that was about ten years old. Same thing - quit mid cycle - the day before vacation and I had to go to the laundromat with three loads.
