F1 means the flood switch has activated because water has leaked onto the tray underneath. When you tip it over the water runs away to one side & lets switch reset for a short time. Unplug power from machine. Remove bottom kick panel below door & trim panel behind that one. This will allow you to look through into base of machine & tray. Right in middle near the front is a switch mounted on a plastic holder with a piece of polystyrene under it,this is the flood switch. If tray is wet, you will need to dry it as much as possible with a sponge then hairdryer. Once dry run machine & watch under for any water coming back & where from. Before running the machine, go over all of the wheels inside the cabinet that are attached to the walls for the basket runners to glide on. Tighten each one. If they are loose then water will get through the screw hole. This is one common place for leaks.
