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?

My washer makes a low humming sound when I try to start a load.
It’s a Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum.
Water does not fill the tub.
The last cycle I ran it would continue to give me a code “LID”.
It started giving this code during last spin cycle.
I have emptied the washer and tried to reset several ways according per instructions above but still no change.
I thought my water pressure through faucet could be weak causing it also but all water pressure in this area is fine.
It has done this before and we unplugged and it finally started working again.
I am having this same issue – please help
Mine have no problem UNTIL I used the ‘rinse and spin’ to finish a set of vestments!
Have the ul code,c showed ten minutes on clock, after reset, went back to twelve minutes, would NOT high speed spin, showed unbalanced load even with an empty tub!
When reset is done and restarted no diagnostic lights go on only sensing light and lid lock lights are lite up.
I was right about valve sadly i was wrong about price cheapest i can find is at least 120
I have a whirlpool cabrio washer and all the lights come on but it won’t do anything. I tried to put it in the error mode and it won’t go into trouble shooting mode
My washer seems to stop before wash cycle so clothes are soak wet and not clean . We have reset but nothing works .
