Started a load of clothes and the lights on the front panel all of them started to blink, so many beeps I couldn't keep up with them I tried to count and find a pattern when I pushed thee start pause button. I have been on google for 3 days trying to find the solution. I did find out how to get the code with the flashing lights by pressing 3 buttons 3 times. My first code is 8 1. The second code is 8 2. I don't know if I should concentrate on the first code or the second code so I have been concentrating on the 81 and I started from my wall. The hoses were old and when we moved here I was unable to get them unscrewed so we just went with what was there. There was rust and so I had the hoses removed with someone's help. 3 days agoI put brand new regular hoses on and I cleaned the screens/filters they were not that bad. Before hooking my new hoses to the machine I turned the water on both hot and cold to see if I had pressure and it was good pressure in my eyes.
The machine still lights up and sounds off when I try to start it like the 4th of July. The beeps and lights wont stop till I either unplug or press the start button.

My door lock seems to be working like normal.

I can run diagnostic mode and all seems to be working fine and when it is done it shuts itself off like a normal load of clothes.
This is the first problem ever with this machine.
Is my next step the the inlet valve or should I just go to the main control board?

Is there water in the tub? I think I see what in the tub in your video. Put it in RINSE/DRAIN/SPIN and see what it does. It should drain and spin after rinse, I want to make sure your drain pump is working properly first.

If it doesn't drain, unplug the washer and check your drain pump filter for a clog, there is a video in the part link below that shows you how to access it.

Here's the drain pump for your model:
Drain Pump WPW10730972


If it drains fine, then I'm attaching your tech. data sheet below, do what it says for F8E1:

I did get it to drain once or twice. I ran the diagnostic and it adds water and drains well enough for me to unscrew the coin catch and only get a few drops of water. I ran it for you on RINSE/DRAIN/SPIN and video it. I thought for a bit that it was just going to work. Towards the end it started with the beeping then running then beeping again then running. It ended on just beeping and quit. Thank you for your time!

I wanted to add that during this video I thought I smelled a very faint burning smell. I have smelled this 2 other times while trying to figure out what is wrong. My nose if usually very good at smelling things but this is so faint that I doubt I smell it.

Good video!

You may want to UNPLUG THE MACHINE FIRST, then remove the MCU(Motor Control Unit) and look at the circuit board closely and see if you notice any burnt spots on it, IF SO then its the culprit.

Here's the MCU for your model:
WPW10384843 Electronic Control Board


If the MCU looks good, then its possibly the CCU.

There are no noticeable signs of any burning on either board.
Thanks again for your time. Greatly appreciated

Ok, the MCU looks good, then its possibly the CCU that's the culprit.

Thank you so much for your time! I will be ordering the CCU very soon. Weighing the cost of part vs a new machine. This is the first this machine had any problem so I think I will keep it going

Ok, sounds good, let us know how it goes.
