I have a Whirlpool Cabrio he wtw6600SW1. Its making a stranger than normal sound and the drum seems very loose and moves much, much more than it used to. Its also not really cleaning like it used to. The drum is very wobbly. I know there should be some play in it, but it seems like there is way too much now. Can someone help please, Im a single mom :( THANKS :)
That sounds like the gearbox has gone bad, I've replaced several that were doing the same thing and were still under warranty

Check the four suspension rods on the outer tub to make sure they are not broken and/or out of placement.

Hello,
The F1 error means that water pressure into the washer is out of range...the control on the washer learns the water pressure coming in from when it was brand new it is capable of learning just the water pressure to your house since it will vary from your neighbors...after it has learned what the normal pressure is if it doesnt see that normal pressure coming into the washer it will throw up the F1 error code
What to check is if water is coming into the washer from the rubber fill hoses with as much pressure as always did...things that could cause lesser pressure is; kinked/crushed fill hose,sediment built up in the filter screens inside of the water inlet valve( can be checked by turning off water and removing hoses and pop screen out from the back of washer where the hoses connect to)
If the filter screens are clear and water seems to coming from the hoses with good pressure...the washer control board would need to be replaced
