Possible Causes

Corrupted control board memory, failed main control board, power surge damage, incorrect or failed software configuration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the control board.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Restore power and attempt to start a cycle.
  • Check for moisture: Inspect the control area for signs of moisture or detergent residue that could affect electronics. Dry thoroughly if found.

When to replace: If F14 returns immediately after reset and there are no wiring issues, the main control board’s memory is likely corrupted. Replace the board with the correct Whirlpool OEM part. Some models may require configuration or programming after replacement per service manual.
