Wow.....such clear, simple instructions. Been fighting with my washer for a couple of days. Finally tripped over your video, and thought I'd give this a try. Used the information you provided to identify the problem (bad water pump). Luckily, you also had another video on how to replace my pump. Following your instructions to the letter. I just replaced the pump. I'M DOING LAUNDRY NOW!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thanks so much for your help! I had a repairman look at it while I waited for your response and he felt like the rods needed replacing. I hope this includes your recommendations.
Nice! Thanks for the comment! and encouragement!
bummer!... Thanks for the tip! I'm glad you got it working again!
Thanks so much for teaching us how to fix the washing machine.. got jamed.. but it's c8 now.. let's hope it works again. Thanks so much.
Great! As far as clearing the stored codes on that model... I don't think so. As far as I can tell it keeps a full error log that cannot be cleared. If you find a way I would love to hear about it! Thanks for the comment!
were you able to get it to do a diagnostic test like in the video?
@OftenMisled You take the good with the bad I guess and just keep on going... I'm sure I've accidentally flaked on my manners a time or two...not often though! it always feels good to get a thank you :) Thanks for the comment...
Thank you, I reset and it is actually is washing a load, the only problem now is the timer is going the different minutes for heavy, normal, medium, light minutes flashing (like it's changing the minutes 40,37,34, 31 and keeps decreasing in minutes as the load processes. So I'm waiting to see how long this load washes.
Great! Thanks for the comment!
Amazing, solved my problem, ready to go back and do what I enjoy the most in this beautiful world.....LAUNDRY.....of course! Thank you!
The faint click may be the relay in the board closing to energize the pump. You may want to double check the connections to the drain pump. To be sure you would need to measure for 120 Volts AC at the wires to the drain pump. I would start with that if there was a clog in the tub you should still hear the drain pump turn on.
I'm sorry to hear about that! I would turn it in as a loss to the insurance company... The control board is probably shorted out but even if you replaced that part all 3 motors would be damaged. Good luck!!!
@xzqzq My pleasure. Thanks for the comment!
The SD code is usually for suds or a long drain code. you may be able to get it to work by letting the suds turn back to liquid and then trying to drain/spin again. if that doesn't work you may have a problem with your drain pump, pressure switch or control... but probably the drain pump. hope that helps! Good luck!
Awesome video thanks for the help. I received a fault code of F68. Could you shed some light on this. Thanks for the input.
Hi again and thanks for the great video. I ran the diagnostics, but the washer stalled at C7. Obviously, the drain pump is not working. I did the diagnostics test for pumps but it doesn't work. I had tested the pump with an outside source of power and it works fine. Do you think I need a new control board? Help please. Thanks
Thanks for the comment! It's always encouraging to hear success stories!
My cabrio does not agitate. It fills with water skips the agitation process then bak to draining. It agitates towards the middle of the cycle it seems out of wack
Sorry for the delay in getting back with you on this question. So that I understand the problem, What do you mean by "it fills for a few seconds then goes to next step in cycle"? I don't quite understand. Thanks!
I want to thank everyone who posts here for helping diagnose my machine codes. In replacing my discharge pump, I noticed I was getting water level change errors then after,only to find someone at my house had nearly turned the water off to the valves thus causing "lack of level change" errors. This may have been what was causing the clothes to entangle and so on which was another part of my original story. Stick to those codes folks. Your machine is talking to you.
@xzqzq It takes a very long drain time to activate the LD and F32 error codes. So you probably do have a blockage somewhere. I usually use a Shopvac to suck out as much water as possible from inside the washer, then tip the washer back so you can get at the drain pump (unplug it first and be ready for a lot more water.) Partially remove the hose from the tub to the pump and get the water under control, then remove the pump and have a look inside. If it's clear, are all 4 fins intact?
That is the newer style of Cabrio that Whirlpool released after I created this movie. It is completely different mechanically and has kind of a tricky diagnostic mode. Take a look at the lid striker that is attached to the lid (the part the inserts into the lock.) The back of the strike is open and leaves the internal magnet exposed allowing it to swell with rust. When that happens the lock cannot close all the way so it will do what you are describing. If not email me through my website.
OHHHH MY GOD AFTER 3 HOURS IT WOKRED. YOUR VIDEO WAS LEGIT. I FIXED IT ❤❤❤❤❤ THANK YOUUUU. YES IM SHOUTING OF HAPPINESS 🙌🏽🤣🤣
Hahaha! Glad it helped! 😁
It's a little tricky on that style of washer. You have it right and it should work if the timing is correct. If it does not then you may have a board problem. Think of it as a safe combination but before you start the process clear the knob at least three full rotations to the left... then one click each: R - R - R - L - R with a very short pause between each move. If it works all the lights should turn on.
You will need to measure for 120 VAC out of the control where the drain pump plugs in on "P4" terminal when the pump should be running... Hopefully you have a broken wire or bad connection... If you need parts I would greatly appreciate it if you purchase through the links on my site. Thanks for the question! Good luck!
This diagnostic was a great gift!!!!! Performed this on my cabrio and got it to cycle through and corrected itself! Keep up the good posts! People really need them!
I did not find any recall information on the duet, oasis, or bravos washers or dryers... if you do find info please post!! Thank you!
@Alprazolam Thanks for the complement! your video looks good... don't take it down.
Hello, great video! I did a diagnostic and came up with a f72. Any suggestions on what to do next? It will not spin at this point
@applianceassistant
Well, it has been taken apart - super easy to work on. A wash cloth and a piece of bra wire had lodged into the drain, and when the pump was removed a quarter fell out. Damage wise, two of the fins in the pump were broken, so I'm just going to buy a new one and save the old pump as a spare, just in case. Can you recommend any kind of "simple" method of flushing the drain pan of anymore trash without a tear-down?
Does this work for the dryer, same make and model just the dryer to this set?
I'm getting the LF code during the rinse cycle only. No water is being sprayed over the clothes thus triggering the LF code. There is no problem filling at the start of the cycle though. Are there seperate valves for filling and rinsing?
Depending on how gummed up the hub and drive shaft are it may be easy and may be a pain... The cap of the agitator/wash plate will come off by prying from the side seam with a screwdriver. Then remove the 7/16" bolt and remove the agitator. you should see the hub. You then need to look it over really good for striped gear teeth anything that might keep the basket from lifting free when the tub floats. I have more info on my website. Good luck!
My whirlpool Cabrio has a F code. I'll be sure to try this and come back with the results. Gee guy, thanks alot.
Very helpful.....my button was the end of cycle signal button. 😉. Now let’s just hope I can figure it and fix it !
The drain pump should be on at C7 until the inner basket drops and is engaged on the basket hub + 10 seconds...Do you here the pump making any noise? if the pump is running and just not moving water it may be broken or clogged, you may also have a clog at the outer tub where the drain pump connects. however, if it is not being energized you would need to check if power is getting to the pump from the control's P4 connection.
Sounds like the inner tub is hung up... It should move up and down on the drive shaft pretty smoothly. When the tub fills with water it should allow the tub to float up and disengage from the drive hub for agitation, then drain out and sink to engage the hub for spin. You will need to pull the inner tub and check the hub. You may also want to clean (with sandpaper) and lightly lubricate the drive shaft. Hope that helps, good luck!
Great Video, Any chance you know how to get a Whirlpool Cabrio wtw5550xw0 in diagnostics mode? my will spin sometimes other times not drain and sometimes it will pause thru the cycle and i have to hit start again and it will spin and drain but never say done when its done talk about a 600$ pile of junk
F51 is an RPS (Rotor position sensor) error. That is the sensor that detects motor movement. They like to do this error but the RPS is almost never the cause. Sometimes unplugging and reconnecting the connections to the sensor and the control board several times will clean of any corrosion that has built up and may be causing the communication error. I have a repair guide on my website, but accessing the lower RPS contacts is not very easy. Might be worth a service call if you trust a company.
Have a Kenmore Elite Oasis. Ran the full diagnostic mode and everything works. Problem is when I actually go to start a wash load, power comes on but start button does't work.
Can anyone help?
thank so much for your help ,very good video
I'm having trouble with my whirlpool cabrio. it's displaying f 54....... can anyone help fix this issue?
Hi, I have an Ld code with my Oasis washer (HE). It stops after the wash cycle before spinning, so it stays full of water. The water intake is normal. I took the pump out and it's clean, and so are the drain system and the basket. The pumps works fine (when I connected it to an outside source of power). I always use the right powder (no sudding). There is no moisture or rust in the control board area. I unplugged it for a while and restarted it, same thing. What else could the cause be? Thanks.
Did you get any codes by doing the diagnostic test?
Have the Whirlpool Washer Cabrio Top-Load Model WTW5640XW3, have no water coming in at start up, went thru the diagnostic error code look up procedure, and only got F0 and E0 readings, can you help me?, still no water. Seems to go thru thru the water attempt twice I can hear a valve, and the lid locks like it should....no water entry....Thanks a million
Thanks I really make it work
F51 is a rotor position sensor error so you may also need to check the wire connections to the RPS. I would start with cleaning the drive shaft and see if the F51 comes back. You need to pull the motor stator to check the RPS so hopefully it was just a fluke. If you look under the washer the round plastic disk (rotor) should be clean, if there is water or rust residue on it you have a larger problem of the tub seal leaking : ( hopefully not... Good luck!
On a Whirlpool Cabrio, if you get a 0L or a UL code. The bottom load sensor on the stator could be bad. Watch Cabrio videos on here for better details. The washer will usually stop with 3 minutes left and give error code.
oh yea/? I replaced that, bearings, seal, shaft and rods and stator doesnt have cracks im about to put it for trash, these washers SUCK!!!
F32 code
Hi, I have a maytag bravos washer. During the spin cycle it will bang around and knock around so hard the machine stops and gives me an error code. This happens even if I run a test with no clothes inside the machine. I think the drum is loose. What can I do to fix it? Thanks in advance. Your site is very helpful to a layman like myself.
@applianceassistant Hi do I let each code go through it's stage or keep clicking because my washer have about 4 codes that would show up it runs a little but I kept going through each code and after I decided to was a small load it stopped again on 13 mins left of spin cycle
F1 is a general control board error : (
Any other symptoms? Or is it not working at all?
Neat video. Thanks !!
Getting the dl error door lid? What can i do?
We have a Cabrio Washer WTW8100bW. It runs fine but when it changes to the next cycle, we get an OL code. My wife has to change the cycle manually. The manual says over load but that’s not the case. Light loads. Any suggestions?
I have a whirolpool cabrio washer, when the machine is in the cycle of strikes wring sideways grabs and stops noisy and not what the problem is overloaded
I have a Whirlpool cabrio platinum and it is leaking on the inside. Dripping water into the tub. What is causing this drip, I have to put a bucket in to catch it so the water doesn't sour.
That is a calypso washer. id is probably LD for long drain. You may have a problem with the drain pump... fairly common problem on that washer type.
“Ld” flashes if it takes longer than 5 minutes to pump out water to a point where the operating
pressure switch resets.
The automatic service diagnostics mode is activated by pressing:
SOAK - SOIL LEVEL - SOAK - SOIL LEVEL
Pump Motor correct resistance values
RD to WH 10 - 12 ohms
YL to WH 10 - 12 ohms
RD to YL 20 - 25 ohms
Good luck!
Yasin Polat, I don't have the option to reply to your question... Not sure why but doesn't seem to be any way to comment here or on your page. Sorry. First try unplugging the washer for a few minutes to reset the control. But it sounds like the start button on your washer may be broken... Does the start button feel different from the others when you press it? If thats it, the console is an expensive part but you can get in there with some super glue or epoxy and carefully fix the plastic tab that is probably broken. Good luck!
If you are getting UL and the tub is balanced, the only posibility that I can think of is the control is not properly detecting the load. Probably want to run the diagnostics and see if you get any other codes. There may be a motor or RPS (rotor position sensor) problem.
Its nice he's coming back on a Sunday! Don't rake him over the coals to bad sounds like he wants to get it right... such is the nature of machines and repair and mistakes do happen. Did it work properly after he installed the new pump before he left?
Hi, we have a Maytag Bravos xl and we tried this and it didn't provide any information. any other ways to get a diagnosis?
My Whirlpool Cabrio is giving me the "uL" code with nearly EVERY load (no matter the size or if I try to redistribute the load...even to the point of removing some items that may be heavier than others). What do I need to replace as far as repair?
That means that the basket never reengaged to the drive hub. You will probably need to replace the hub part#280145. They tend to get stripped out.
I do the automatic diagnostic it goes to all All the cycles but at cycle c8 about 5 minutes stops and gives me code f72 what is that can u help please
Sorry for the slow response. That would most likely point to your motor getting hot... You may have something like a small sock stuck between the inner and outer tubs. I have a service manual for that washer available on my website. Its not to difficult to pull the inner tub out and check.
My Whirlpool Cabrio washer, type 580, wtw6400sw3, cy0270534, is faulting during the rinse exhaust, showing ' LD' at @ 13 minute mark. I took the drain hose off, made sure hose & drainpipe clear, ran diagnostic, showed only ' F32'... Attempted a new wash load - worked OK for the wash cycle, faulted at the end of rinse cycle. Any idea what the problem is ? Thanks for the help !!
Sorry for the delay! What is your washing machine's brand and model number?
What is your washer's model number and original problem? That step should be drain and slow spin... Do you hear the drain motor? is the water draining out of the washer okay? Is the outer basket spinning at all?
Sorry for the delay in response! I put a link in the description of the video for the diagnostics guide on my website it is much more complete than this video.
F68 is a stored version of F1 which is primary control failure It's vague so hard to say for sure but you may need a new control : (
The F70 code is a stored version of oL which is overloaded... it means that the inner tub did not float up off of the hub as water was filling the washer. This could be caused by something like a sock getting between the inner and outer tub and jamming the inner tub from moving freely. It can also be caused by rust on the drive shaft and center tube of the inner tub that is not allowing the tub to rise. You need to remove the inner basket and take a look... Hope that helps! Good Luck!
This wasn't my problem, but this explanation led me to the problem. Thanks!
Could it be weak springs?
@@Socal_fisherman626 not usually on an F70 that would most likely lead to an out of balance error instead of an overload error.
The basket sits low! When I try to push the basket down, it bottoms out
@@Socal_fisherman626 it could be a secondary issue. But should not cause the F70 code. There are no sensors for detecting that symptom, except for the ul “unbalanced load” the over load F70 is related to how much time/water is required to make the inner tub float, and disengage from the drive hub.
I ran the diagnostic test and now what? I have whirlpool cabrio model # wtw7600xw0. It is givong me error code f2, which from an interet search seems to be a stuck button. How do I fix this? Or what is my next step aftet diagnostic. Thank you for all your help! You really are great :)
My Cambrio doesn't show 88 or any number. I hold the SOIL LEVEL button for 3 seconds, release, hold, then release like you've said( or I have hearing problems) and it didn't work.
I have an error code F0E5, could you please tell me what that means
Thank you
Hello, I have Whirlpool Cabrio Model WTW6200SW2 washer, during the cycle UL comes up on the screen and also no matter what load size you have choosen it over fill the water in 2nd rinse and then spin at the time to rinse therefore sill lots of water. Once I pause the machine and then Start again the remaining load finish normal but if left un attended then flooding... Please help. Thanks
on the newer whirl[pool cabrio washers how do i acess the diagnostic codes,
Hi I have wtw6400sw0 sd code on my washer it drain fine but when it wont go to spin cycle it wil stay on 8 min and after few min SD code wil showup
my washer is saying f2 and is constantly making a beeping noise. replaced both boards and it still dont work. sometimes it will come on and sometimes i get no power at all. does anybody know wht this could be?
I have been getting an oL code on my washer. I did this diagnostic test and CO popped up and then it has C1 and started to run a cycle. And also had the add garment light on
Me too, any luck?
@@cool33onthescene ended up throwing it out
@@michaelb4456 tough smh
Hi again, I tried your 3 second process and it's showing Error "F70", then I hit the key again to go to ** mssg then it went through C1, C2... cycle.
Now what do I do to fix the "F70" Error and what does it means?
are there instructions on how to do that somewhere? my cabrio keeps quitting with the oL code like 15 minutes into a wash out of no where and i dunno what to do.
I have the exact washer mine runs the water cycles but wont spin any ideas?
Many of these washing machines are having a problem with the early version of the suspension rods that suspend the tub. The new suspension kit seems to be solving the problem, it has a new cup that is installed on the top side of each of the four suspension rods. Part number is W10189077(50.00) for the set of 4. If you do order them please buy through the links on my website so I get a little commission : ) or I can drop ship them to you if you email me through my web site. Good luck Thanks!
Oh for joy!! : ) Thanks for the post! I'm glad it helped!
I’m getting error code LE on my whirlpool Cabrio. The washer works just fine but at end of cycle if I don’t turn machine off manually the whole cycle starts again all on its own.
I have the Whirlpool Cabrio all the sudden it stops spinning out starts shaking like crazy you have to fix the clothes and make them right even to make it spin out and then has time that don't even work what needs fixed
Perfect!
I'll check the pump, thanks. Diag. showed F32 & F33 the last time I fiddled with the washer.
i turned it to drain and spin to try and get the water out...all i hear after pressing start is a very faint click... it isn't the lid lock click because thats louder... there was nothing stuck in the long drain (which was the original LD code I saw displayed when it stopped draining the other day) when i ran the diagnostics it says F32.... which i thought was the drain pump... how do i check the internal basket to see if anything is stuck there.
i went through the diagnostic mode and all works except for C9, doesn't drain whirlpool cabrio wtw6600sw1 any advice please help
mine keeps giving me a HC code, I looked into it and it means hot cold water lines reversed... I ran hot water upstairs so I could identify the hot water line and hooked it up the the machine where it says hot... same with cold blah blah... why would it be saying that?
Thanks brother, So I spend $240 bucks on a new controller but now I'm getting a F83 display and after 8 mins of running it skips to 4 mins failing to agitate and drains completely. Any Ideas?
Hi i was watching your video, and i just wanted to know were i can get a manual for the machine. I bought this machine on creigs list and in very good condition almost brand new. He did not have the manual and it is hard to know what the machine is doing when a certain light goes on and i do not know what it means. Well anyways the whirlpool cabrio wtw6400sw can you please give me some feed back. thanks jp
When my whirlpool cabrio goes into the drain and spin cycle it gives me a ld code. I did the diagnostic test and got a F32 error code. Can you tell me what that means?
I have a cabrio that is getting to rinse/spin and then popping up with LD error. I checked line and seems to not be clogged. I also ran diagnosis test and stayed on C8 and would go no further or shut off. Any suggestions?
If the hose is not clogged then the drain pump may be bad. Do you hear the pump trying to work? If it's not getting power then you may have a loose connection, bad wire, or bad control board : ( Hopefully its just a bad connection... Good luck!
The pump was bad. Thanks a bunch for your help
tara Sanders Thanks for the update! That really helps others with similar problems!
Unplug. Let set 1min... plug in .. raise and lower lid 5 times in 30 seconds... ... worked for me.. reset the motor/circuits..
i have a maytag bravos xl and it is giving f l what does it mean?
Help i have a Cabrio wtw5500 model...is there away to find a code for it? It seems like the sensor may not be recongnizing that the lid is closed and it won't stay locked. It will lock to start and the it unlocks and won't continue the wash. Please help!
I have a Maytag Bravos that is stopping in cycle and showing a F 54 Code?
no, i purchased the drain pump myself and installed it... it is still not draining and giving the same LD code and F32 when i run the diagnostics..the repair guy didnt have the part and said it would take 4 days to get... i got it much faster... the repair guy said he forgot to check the control board with the meter?
I know this test well, but I have a problem with the new maytag bravo washers. Model mvwx700xlo, In that tech manual it says to clear the board by turning the selector knob counterclockwise then within 6 seconds turn clockwise 1/2 sec, turn clockwise 1/2 sec again 1/2 sec then counterclockwise 1/2 sec, then clockwise 1/2 sec. I've tried this on several Maytag Bravos and can't get it in diagnostic mode!! Please if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong???
I'm in the military my washer was in storage for over 3 1/2 years. I re-started and does not complete the wash cycle. Water fills no issues but does not wash; after a few attempts of washing goes to spin and at the end I get OL with a really small load. any suggestions??
Same here was you able to find out what was wrong with it
Anyone find out what this was?
