There is a control module behind the button, maybe the screws became loose and it is falling away.

push and hold the cancel button in untill it starts to drain let it finnish draining and stop them it will start again let me know how you get on

Good luck. Mine did the same and they sent their technicians out to fix the problem. A&E comes out and replaces the tub ring. They told me the washer is now made with the tub ring in place. When he opened the washer up I noticed I now have rust inside my washer. I have spent a month trying to get Whirlpool to replace my washer but they will only replace parts. A&E came out to replace the tub ring and now my door creaks and my washer does not go back together correctly. Hopefully you can justreturn the washer to where you got it. Read other reviews on line. It sounds like this washer is a lemon. Sorry!

not a good idea it only collects more dust dirt and debris

could be the water pump or the motor windings gone bad

bad water inlet valve

check the water inlet valve and the water temperature sensor

Washer fills with water and overflows: The water pressure level switch is a pressure activated switch that is used to determine the correct water level in the tub. This part is normally located behind the control panel and will have a hose or air dome tube that connects it to the tub. On washers that use an electronic control, this switch may be located at the sump area below the tub. As the water fills in the tub it will compress the air in the tube and push against a diaphragm inside the switch. The switch will control the water inlet valve and turn the valve off at the correct water level. If the tube has a leak, not enough pressure may be created to activate the switch and the washer may overfill. If the switch is defective it may also cause the machine to overfill. To determine if the switch is bad, you should first eliminate the air dome hose as a problem. Look for signs of cracks or worn areas on the hose. Remove the hose and submerge in water. Seal one end and blow air into the other end and look for bubbles. Check for an obstruction in the hose as well. If the air dome hose appears to be ok, then the water level switch may be defective. You can test it with a meter and with a manual test? ( first locate it in the panel, it has a plastic clear tube hose going into it, remove that tube from its connection, now put another small tube or hose into the slot where it was and have the machine set to wash cycle with water in it. Blow into the other end of the tube. If the machine starts to wash. the pressure switch is more than likely good ( No wash- then THE DIAPHRAGM IS BAD AND SWITCH HAS TO BE REPLACED). The other item to check would be your water inlet valve. Check it for continuity with a multi meter it should show Ohms or a closed circuit. To test it when water is overflowing unplug the unit and see if it still overflows or continues to fill. If it stops when unplugged. Then it is not a water inlet problem but an electrical signal problem going to ur water inlet valve. Possibly from the panel or board.

also called the stator assembly? under the tub near the motor

That is a characteristic of bearings gone bad. You should look into replacing the bearings.

check pump

rocking movement

capacator

change same

check inter lock or lid lock

check springs also shock,s

Clogs in a Cabrio commonly occur when the drain pump becomes obstructed. The following link explains step-by-step how to access the pump(s) and clean them out:

The Cabrio is unique in that it has two pumps and a fairly large tub capacity compared to most washers. If the wash tub has any standing water, make sure you drain it from the tub prior to removing any drain hoses. Otherwise, you will have a potentially large mess to clean up. Using a wet/dry shop vac to pull a vacuum on the drain line is an effective and easy way to drain the tub.

If you have any questions about any of the these procedures, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.
