Whirlpool Cabrio - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Mine does exactly all of those things you mentioned. I can't afford a new washer or even a new washer if they gave me a credit I also get white spots on my dark clothes and I am using very little detergent.

how old is machine now? they came out with a new wash plate , designed differently to be less aggressive on clothing. part num W10141017

Lefty, the code means a rotor position sensor error. The first thing you want to do is see if the basket turns freely by hand. I had one the other day where a dish towell was caught between the basket and tub giving the error. You will have to open the top by using a putty knife and pushing in on the clips on each side. They are strong clips so you have to use some force. The whole top will lift up. Next you will have to remove the tub ring. It just snaps off. If you don't find anything between them, then I would suspect the rotor sensor itself. At the factory they sprayed a protective coating on them and sometimes this causes the problem. You would have to tip the washer back. The motor cover comes off witha allen head, just pulls down. Now there is 4 screws that hold the motor in place. Once you drop them, the plastic cover protector will come down along with the motor so observe carefully where it mounts back up. The motor connector will be the 3 pronged harness on the right side of the motor. The rotor position sensor will be on the left. Snap the positon sensor in and out about 8 or 9 times to get the coating off. If this doesn't work, and you keep getting the error, you will have to order the position sensor. I have had to order the harness as well in some cases. Catriver.

The lid switch within the lid lock mechanism is a reed switch and is activated by a magnet located at the center front of the lid. The switch activates when the magnet is near it as when the lid is closed. If the error code is "lid", then the problem is with the lid switch not activating either due to a faulty lid lock mechanism or the lid magnet is weak or dislodged from where it should be in the lid. Place a strong magnet over the lid lock and if the error code persists, the problem is with the lid lock mechanism particularly the reed switch.



Remove the three screws from the rear of the console assembly, if the error code persists, then pull console towards the front of washer to hinge it open and remove console. The machine/motor control assembly is located on the right hand side of the machine that is enclosed in a casing with a clear tube/hose connected to it.



Make sure the lid lock harness is connected snug and fit to the machine/motor control board. If there's no connection problem, strip the wires of pins 1 and 5 and short circuit them. In this manner, the lid reed switch is bypassed.



If the machine works fine, the reed switch is indeed not working. You can install a switch between pins 1 and 5 as a temporary bypass for the reed switch. But you have to switch it off every after cycle and switch it on only when using the machine.

there could be something in your pump.....remove the pump and see if there is not something inside...

Solved the unbalanced problem - open the top of the machine (press in with a flat putty knife about 3" in on the front on each side while lifting up as there are 2- 1" wide catches). Once both sides are unlatched, raise the lid then slightly lift the rear of the lid so that it fits into the curved part at the top of the hinges then open all the way - tape the lid to the top so it doesn't flap about and scotch the lid to keep it from falling back down on you. Now, look around - see all that rust?  The rust has fallen into and gotten underneath one or more of the 4 white plastic suspension "ball joints" which have probably totally dried out by now from their factory grease because of the water, bleach, and rust particles.  Having someone help you, simply lift up on one of the 4 corner suspension rods - gravity and weight is all that holds them down. The white ball will lift out of the socket and still be attached to the rod. Clean out the rust, lightly sand the "socket" with emery cloth, then slop in a fingerful of grease. I used automotive wheel bearing grease with graphite in it. Also scrub off all embedded rust on the white plastic ball. Lower that corner back into the newly cleaned and greased socket and repeat for the other 3 corners. Now when you move the tub around notice how the balls pivot in their sockets like they are supposed to. When they were dry and rusty they wouldn't move enough to allow the tub to twist like it should so it slammed around.  Now, shake your head in disgust that after only 2 years there is so much rust that you wonder if it will make it another year before falling apart, close the lid, and try another load.  That totally solved my off-balance problem where even a single handkerchief would give the UL error. It is still a finicky machine, but at least once again works like it did when new.

Is there water in the bottom of the tub? If yes then open back of washer and remove drain pump (on left side) and pull off of tub and clear whatever is blocking its impeller.
If the water is all gone and drained but pump stays on for several minutes and then gives "LD" fault then open back and check the small clear tube that is attached to the tub. Make sure is not blocked with debris and check tube and tub for anything that could block the small clear tube. If these are ok then remove 3 screws in back of the control panel, pull open control panel and check the clear tub all the way up from the tub to the washer controller board (computer) make sure it is not kinked or disconnected. If not then the problem is most likely the pressure sensor on the (computer). This unit will have to be replaced.
You can test the sensor by doing the following: 1. When the "LD" fault comes on start by pressing the pause button. then pull the clear tube off of the computer board. Then attach a tight fitting drinking straw over the sensor. Press the start button and wait for 60 seconds - If the washer does not start the spin cycle on its own after the 60 seconds then **** on the drinking straw that you attached to the pressure sensor earlier. The sucking action should reset the sensor thus telling the computer that the water is drained and it will start the spin cycle. Just remember if you have to do this to get the washer to spin - that means the sensor is damaged most likely from moisture traveling up the tube over time. The computer board will need to be replaced. I believe it costs $205 without shipping. Hope this helps.

sorry there right ..your not using he or low suddsing detergent ,or your using to much..as the water pumps out of unit the sudds stick to side of tub than when rinse water comes in it washes back on your clothes...i can only give you tips and something to look for...look for water not drainning fast enough ,,cut down on detergent,,wash your dark clothes first..give your unit a bleach clean about a pint of bleach..keep me posted onthejob

I would call the Whirlpool machine repair person for a quote as only an experienced engineer will know what the problem is eric

YOU CAN WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE THE 2 WIRES FOR THE SWITCH AND SPLICE THEM TOGETHER BY-PASSING THE SWITCH MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF BEFOR WORKING ON ,IF ITS A PRESSURE SWITCH THAT WORKS BY THE LID BEING CLOSED TRY TAPEING OR LOCKING IT DOWN THIS MIGHT BE EASYER

First off I hope you have a Sears unit and second you did not pay a penny. Your F 1 error is a Primary control failure. Part W10104830 and one other do F1 and a oL code.
If you own a Sears machine you qualify for a recall under sf26-779B.
There is two parts to this call the board and a washplate
MCU part # W10201186
Washplate # W10077050
Recall will need your name and phone number and the machine model and serial number.

If you meet all of these conditions to the letter call Sears Recall at 1-800-659-7026

See the following Whirlpool Service Manual for the Cabrio.

This should help.
