I have a Whirlpool Cabrio washer about a year old. When I run a wash cycle it gets stuck in constant loop of wash cycles going on and on. The washer would begin to soak the clothes right after the spin cycle and then go through the entire wash cycle once again. To stop this I had to turn the washer off. Is there a reset I could follow to stop the endless wash cycle or do I need to replace parts?

whirlpool cabrio washer model wtw5500bwo So I started a load last night and it just goes through the wash cycle than rinse than spin than it starts all over again I tried the reset but nothing …. I don’t have a digital display it’s just a nob help plz
My Whirlpool Cabrio is the model WTW5550XW1 and it DOESN’T come with the digital screen to read the error.
The board shows the green light meaning it is good.
I changed the lid lock switch and I see it is working perfectly.
Washer sometimes starts but keeps filling the tank and not stop.
But sometimes doesn’t start at all.
Once start making the cycles and suddenly didn’t keep going.
I’ve tried both resets they’ve not fixed the problem. But mines not in a wash loop. Mine starts to mess up in the rinse and spin. It will sit at rinse or sit at spin.
