Whirlpool Duet Dryer F01 Error Code Fix | Control Board Replacement

Our Whirlpool Duet dryer (Model WGD9200SQ1) won’t start, giving an F01 error code. Looking to save significant money I tackled the job and captured it on video for reference. The general approach in the video is likely relevant to other Whirlpool brands like Maytag or Kenmore (Sears) too, part numbers may differ, please do your own diligence.

This is the replacement part I use in the video:

(It’s a different part number than the part that failed but is compatible and working great now several years after the fix) other exact match part number links listed below.

These are the steps I took:

Unplug your dryer and carefully move it away from the wall you’ll need access to a couple machine head screws. Keep in mind you are still connected to a gas line.

Remove the top panel gaining access to the control board (2 machine head screws, use a nut driver).

Carefully remove the various plugs from the wiring harness into the old control board. Some of these have a rocker release, others pull straight out, the ones at the end of the control board have a latch style release. Take your time here, you don’t want to break or force anything here as you need to re-use the harness and connectors as is.

Remove machine head screws at the ends of the metal cross piece that holds the dryer control board. Slide the cross piece toward the rear to remove it from the front slot, and lift it out.

Remove a single machine head screw that holds the control board to the metal cross piece. The control board can now slide and be removed.

We removed our old control board by releasing it carefully from the 6 plastic tabs holding it into the plastic cradle. Once we had access to the bottom of the control board it was easy to see the point of failure. We tried cleaning the area and re-soldering but were unsuccessful.

My original control board had the following competing serial numbers:
W10182366 (On the plastic cover) https://amzn.to/33ncTub
W10110641 (On the board pink label) https://amzn.to/33kOVzZ
Both appear to be compatible to my dryer model, but do your own research.

Again, this is the replacement part I use in the video:
