Check to make sure the front controls are plugged in to the control board. Otherwise, replace top control interface. Not cheap.

I work for an appliance repair company and I had a recent service call for the same exact situation on this washer. I also know that Rotary Position Sensor is linked to the F-51 error code. I have found that this is not always the case. On this paticular call the F-51 error code was caused by a piece of clothing (sock, wash cloth, etc.) being stuck or jammed between the internal basket and the outer tub. I removed the cloth and the washer ran fine, so give that a check first before you spend the money.
SOURCE: fixing error code po350 (ignition coil malfuntion)
yes this code is a coil issue and without getting very deep it can be triggered by a defective spark plug, the knock sounds like maybe a carbon knock, run a coup[le of cans of upper cylinder cleaner in the gas tank when u fill, STP gas treatment is one of these products, if the knock persists then have the dealer check for a hard carbon problem in cylinder's or a possible piston or engine rod bearing noise.
SOURCE: Cabrio washer is giving an F 51 Code
The "F51" error code is common problem with the Cabrio. This is an RPS sensor error. The sensor is mounted along the motor windings under the washer and detects the rotation spin speed. The sensors on these units can go bad, causing the error code, and it has been a frequent problem. I would recommend you contact Whirlpool first (due to the unit only being a year old) and see if there is a recall or upgrade on this part. I believe there is. The repair would then be covered by the manufacturer. If I give you the steps to access and/or replace the sensor at this point, you may be voiding any existing warranty you may still have. Some components carry a longer warranty than your normal one year limited warranty from the manufacturer. Something you may consider.
If you have further questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you in some way.
SOURCE: I have a whirlpool Cabrio, what does LF error code
The LF error is a water supply fault. Both water supplies must be connected and fully opened. The inlet hoses and valves both have strainers that may need cleaning as this could obstruct the water flow and also check that you don't have any water leaks. The unit requires a minimum water pressure to operate so anything that could prevent the unit getting this pressure will cause this fault. Hope this helps you out!

Hello & Welcome to FixYa Error code 5d/Sd means suds have been detected. To solve this
problem you have to take the bottom front panel apart and then clean the drain
filter pump assembly completely, make sure the washer is unplugged before
working on it. Please get back to me if you have any other questions. Kevin
Hello & Welcome to FixYa
F1 error in your whirlpool cabrio indicates bad
control and should be replaced to resolve the error code. However, you can
contact Whirlpool as well prior to replacing the control yourself as I have
seen whirlpool paying for the parts themselves just because this is known to be
a common issue and yes even if its a 4 yrs old they have to fix it. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I'm having the same problem.
Needed a new control panel which whirlpool paid for only to break again 3 months later which whirlpool wanted 400 for. Just trashed it and got a 500 dollar ge washer. Works a million times better. Do yourself a favor, trash the washer.
