How to fix the F11 code?

"lindsay.harman F11 is an indication of a communications problem between the machine control board and the motor control board. Possible causes:

you could try a proverbial hard reset by following the procedure below.

To clear and restart the control follow the these steps:

Unplug or turn the circuit breaker off for 10-20 minutes.

Reconnect the unit to the power source by turning the breaker back on or plugging the washer back in.

Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the display.

Download the service manual from the bottom of this page and let us know if and what works and what does not."

I just went through the same problem with wash interruptions due to F11 codes on my Kenmore He3t. Sometimes I would show the dl (door lock) code as well. Tried snugging electrical connections and the plug/plug in techniques and managed to limp along for a while that way. After checking for pricing on a new washer control board ($210 best price) I opted for a remanufactured one through Ebay fulfilled by Partsimple.com for $81. The part arrived two days quicker than the estimated delivery, installed easily and solved my problem/s. The part number is 8181692.

"Had this exact problem. My Kenmore elite is 20 years old. I ordered the new housing communication panel part number 46197030068 off of eBay watched a YouTube video of how to change it out and voila operating normal and no code. All for $280 with 3 year warranty. My family kept saying just get a new one but I was determined to fix it. What did I have to lose. Thanks for the information.

i drain out the water and particules on the filter at the bottom of the washer and connect it again to power and the door unlocked and is running again.
