What This Code Means

F01 appears when the washer's central control board reports internal errors or inconsistent processing signals. The system self-checks during operation. If processing anomalies are detected, the appliance halts to prevent unpredictable behavior. This code reflects a control-system protection response. It does not automatically confirm total board failure.
