F06 code - see below.
F11 code - see below.
Door switch problem - see below.
The F/06 is:

New motor or new motor control board has been very successful in repairing the F06 fault code.
110. 45862400 or 110.45862401 Whirlpool made for Sears. Here is what the F11 means.
Possible Causes / Procedure
I'm having a problem with my HE3t washer. I select a wash option and then the start button and the washer does nothing. I do not see any errors codes at all. The door opens and closes with no problems.
The red light on the wash cycle select just flashes. I've unplugged the washer for 5 minutes thinking the washer needs to reset but still nothing.
Check your door switch button, its just above the door latch, sometimes that button has broken, or the door has dropped a bit, not aligning correctly.
In case others need this door latch assembly, here is the part you can order:
Manufacturer part # WP8182634
