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.

Sounds like you have a transmission leak.The bearing wouldn't throw that much grease.

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

it sounds like the water pump is not emptying properly, blow down the water outlet pipe to see if is clear if not go to the water pump and clean it out there is probably a button , paper clip or other debris preventing it from doing its job eric

Apparently it's a common fault (among others) with this brand/model of washer; as Whirlpool has dedicated a page to it. How to clean the interior of your washer to remove odors

Sounds like a blockage between drum and pump or outlet water hose to drain,or the pump needs replaced

Have you checked the condition of your tub bearings? If they are worn it can give you a ton of problems. There are several videos on YouTube that may help you diagnose your specific problems. I was surprised that this is a common problem with the Cabrio washer. There are tub suspension kits available that help keep your tub centered but I would check the bearings first.

You may have something like screws or nail or something that was in some ones pocket or just fell into the tub . You may have to take the agitator out to get it out unless you can get something under it to get it out. This is pretty common I've seen nails get in a hole & wear a hole in the drum , then you have a leaking drum. Not sure but sounds like this may be your problem. Hope this helps good luck

Sounds like a control board problem

Most likely actuator is not engaging into spin mode or yellow pulley has come loose and not engaging or slipping.

Model # please?

My dryer did the same thing, it was so distrubing noise in the middle of drying cycles, so I turned off the sound switch it went away, now it doesn’t peep any more.

In many cases the spinning motor is problem.

Bite the bullet and tell him, its a lot better to get him or somebody who knows how to do the work than to make it worse or destroy it all together figuring it out. The drum comes out pretty easily, but definitely not a process I would feel comfortable walking someone through
