Getting F1 error code .

I agree on your diagnoses but still run it through diagnostics. Be sure that the drain pump is not drawing excessive amps, or the control could be compromised.

ACTIVATION OF AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSTIC
TEST MODE
1. Be sure the washer is in standby mode (plugged in with all indicators
off; or with only the Clothes Clean or Done indicator on).
2. Select any one button (except POWER, START, and STOP) and follow
the steps below, using the same button (remember the button):
Press/hold
3 seconds ➔ Release for
3 seconds ➔ Press/hold
3 seconds ➔ Release for
3 seconds ➔ Press/hold
3 seconds
➔If this test mode has been entered successfully, all indicators on the
console are illuminated for 5 seconds with 88 showing in the
Estimated Time Remaining two-digit display.
➔If indicators do not display as described above, the
press/hold/release procedure above may not have been performed
within the time frame necessary for successful entry. Repeat step 2
to ensure this was not the cause. If still unsuccessful, see
Diagnostic: Unsuccessful Entry, page 3.
3. The program then checks for saved fault codes:
➔If there are saved fault codes, see Diagnostic: Saved Fault Codes,
page 3.
➔If there are no saved fault codes, all indicators on the console will
momentarily turn off, then turn back on with 88 displayed. After
5 seconds, the Automatic test, below, begins.

2 above to advance through automatic test steps.
