Washer will not start a cycle, control panel has power but Start button does nothing or cycle cancels immediately.

Safety first: Unplug the Crosley washer from the wall outlet before removing any panels. Turn off both hot and cold water supply valves.

Step-by-step checks:

• Power reset: Unplug the washer for 5 minutes, then plug back in and try a Drain/Spin cycle. Sometimes the control locks up after a power surge.
• Check outlet and cord: Verify the outlet has 120 VAC using a meter or by plugging in another appliance. Inspect the washer power cord for cuts, burns, or loose prongs.
• Inspect control connections: Remove the top or rear console panel (varies by Crosley model). Locate the main control board (CCU). Reseat all wire harness connectors one at a time—pull straight off and push firmly back on. Look for burnt spots or corrosion on the board.
• Check for moisture: If the washer recently leaked or was in a humid area, inspect the control for moisture. Dry gently with a hair dryer on cool and leave unplugged for 30 minutes, then retry.
• Test door lock: A failed door lock can mimic F01. With the unit in standby, start a cycle and listen for the door lock click. If there is no click and the door lock shows visible damage, test/replace the door lock first.

If F01 persists: The main control board is likely defective and should be replaced with the correct Crosley CCU part number for your model. This repair involves transferring all wire harnesses exactly as found; take photos before removal. If you are not comfortable working around live voltage and electronic boards, contact a qualified technician.
