    Hello
    The reason for the error F27 in the Whirlpool washing machine is a badly connected programmer plug, please pay attention as it was, it fits in the middle of the socket and on the left. I am sending a photo of the correct connection and the reason for the F27 error.

    Hello
    I will stick to the topic. I have a washing machine from scrap metal displays F27. It turned out that the plug was to the max on the right. I switched as in the picture to the max on the left and now error F23 pops up. What is going on?

    To check the hydrostat and heater for leakage.

    When I turned the hydrostat for a while (3-paddle), the F 23 stopped appearing, but the engine starts for a second and stops over and over again. After a dozen or so times F06 pops up.

    If the washing machine was on scrap and it is not known in what conditions it can be expected that this is not the last mistake she indicated. Maybe saving it would be good to dry all components, because from what I read there will be moisture everywhere if not water. However, the hydrostat, as a colleague mentioned above, is unadjustable if you started to shoot it. As for the F06, it depends on how the engine starts, because if the tacho is damaged, the engine wants to spin, and if the tacho is ok, the engine turns smoothly right and left.

    From what I remember, error F06 caused me a broken relay in the driver. I would check the relays and motor brushes, and preferably the motor itself on the table, if there is a short circuit or breakdown. If you ask, the Whirlpool washing machine is easy to do.

    Hello,

    The washing machine at the end of the wash or when attempting to start the rinse / spin program crashes F27. Activates interlock, relays tick three times and error F27. I do not know if this is the case but three days ago I repaired the lock (replacement of the lock and the burned triac 108W6E). The washing machine worked without a problem, did 10 washes, and today F27. I checked the connections, checked the heater and leakage, connections to the motor and brush rather ok.
    Any suggestions where to fumble? If it's a module, what elements might be suspicious. Thank you in advance for any tips.

    Thanks. I looked at this thread before. I don't know what 1M resistor is there.
    I disconnected from the network daily and started rinsing / spinning without error. I also replaced the bearing on one side. It was dying slowly. I test.

    It is about motor relays and it is worth focusing on them at the beginning.

    These are, however, brushes. I exchanged and the guitar.
    Great appreciation for Whirlpool engineers. They programmed the washing machine's death perfectly. The blockade falls, the triac burns in the controller, if it does not help and you can fix it after two days the brushes are running out :-)
    The plan seems to be perfected:
    - in a month after 24 months warranty the bearings fall once from one to the other
    - the top cover is slowly rotting
    - five years after purchase, everything is poured one after the other at intervals of days
    - a man is buying a new washing machine.
    - there was Whirlpool, so it chooses another brand Bosch, Polar, Indesit, hoping that the other company will be more durable. The poor man does not know that the new differs from the old one only visually, and inside it is the same crap.

    In my washing machine AWO / D 5520 / P, the reason was a broken wire from the wiring harness at the engine. It is worth checking the cable connections at the drive, because they often also cause a problem with the F-06 code.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the F27 error in Whirlpool AWO washing machines, primarily attributed to a poorly connected programmer plug. Users share experiences with various error codes, including F23 and F06, often linked to issues with the hydrostat, motor relays, and wiring connections. Suggestions include checking the hydrostat for leaks, inspecting motor brushes, and verifying cable connections at the drive. Some users report that replacing components like the lock and triac resolved issues temporarily, while others express frustration with the machine's reliability and design flaws. The conversation highlights the importance of thorough diagnostics and component checks to address recurring errors.

FAQ

TL;DR: F27 on Whirlpool AWO can present as “Activates interlock, relays tick three times” and can return after 10 washes; this FAQ shows how to fix it fast. For Whirlpool AWO owners dealing with F27/F23/F06 during rinse/spin. [Elektroda, gRRubasek, post #18534127]

Why it matters: Fast, targeted checks prevent unnecessary board swaps and get your washer running again.

Quick Facts

What does Whirlpool AWO error F27 actually mean, and what’s the first fix?

F27 often indicates a wrongly seated programmer plug. The connector seats in the middle/left keyed position. Reseat it gently and fully. Do not force it to the extreme right. This alignment cleared F27 in the reported case. [Elektroda, orajc, post #17166863]

How do I correctly seat the programmer plug to clear F27?

  1. Unplug the washer and access the programmer connector.
  2. Withdraw the plug, align to the socket’s mid-left keyed position.
  3. Press straight in until fully seated; avoid the far-right position. [Elektroda, orajc, post #17166863]

I moved the plug and now get F23—what’s going on?

F23 flags a pressure or leak issue. Check the hydrostat and the heater for leakage. Replace or repair as needed, then retest. [Elektroda, młody2066, post #17537642]

Is the hydrostat adjustable, or should I replace it if I turned it?

Do not adjust the hydrostat. If you turned it, replace it. Moisture can also create new faults in scrap-rescued machines. “the hydrostat ... is unadjustable if you started to shoot it.” [Elektroda, młody2066, post #17538621]

Why does the motor start briefly, stop, then show F06?

In F06 cases, behavior depends on tachometer feedback. With a damaged tacho, the motor tries to spin but cannot regulate. With a healthy tacho, the motor reverses smoothly. That pattern helps isolate the failure. [Elektroda, młody2066, post #17538621]

Can F06 be caused by motor relays or worn brushes?

Yes. One case traced F06 to a broken relay on the control board. Check the motor relays for cracked joints or failure. Inspect motor brushes for wear and replace if short. Bench-test the motor for shorts before reassembly. [Elektroda, orajc, post #17555680]

Where should I focus first when F27 returns during rinse/spin?

Start with the motor relays. Poor relay operation can stop spin engagement. “It is about motor relays and it is worth focusing on them at the beginning.” [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #18536164]

It clicks three times, then F27—what does that symptom tell me?

That symptom indicates the interlock activates and relays tick three times, then F27. It occurred after a lock and triac repair and roughly 10 washes. [Elektroda, gRRubasek, post #18534127]

F06 appears only after many start attempts—what does that signal?

Repeated brief starts followed by F06, after about a dozen attempts, confirms a persistent drive-side issue. Investigate the motor control path next. [Elektroda, romanik99, post #17538053]

Could a broken wire at the motor cause F06?

Yes. A broken wire in the motor harness caused F06 in an AWO/D 5520/P case. Inspect and repair the drive-side wiring. [Elektroda, Heinrich9001, post #19307236]

Are worn brushes a realistic cause of F27 or F06?

Yes. Replacing worn brushes cleared the fault for one user. If your brushes are short or uneven, replace them. Re-run spin and check. [Elektroda, gRRubasek, post #18537985]

I pulled a washer from scrap. Should I dry it before diagnostics?

Yes. Expect moisture everywhere, even standing water. Dry modules, motor, and harness before testing. Power with everything dry to avoid false codes. [Elektroda, młody2066, post #17538621]

Someone said “throw away the hydrostat.” What do they mean?

When a hydrostat has been tampered with, replace it. Adjustment attempts can render it unreliable. “You can throw away the hydrostat.” [Elektroda, Kenworth 18, post #17538076]

Should I bench-test the motor off the machine?

Yes. Check for shorts or breakdown on the bench. Verify smooth operation and insulation before refitting. Also inspect the brushes and commutator. This helps isolate board versus motor faults. [Elektroda, orajc, post #17555680]

After power-cycling, my rinse/spin worked; I also changed one bearing. Is that useful?

A full power disconnect cleared the error for one user. They also replaced one side bearing that was failing. If your drum growls or drags, fix mechanical issues and retest. [Elektroda, gRRubasek, post #18536114]
