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 lid lock keeps blinking and not letting the cycle run its course. It will start and skip the .wash cycle completely.
We have the sd-f71 code and while running the diagnostic cycle when in c8 (spin) it seems to be agitating like it is in wash or rinse mode then we get f72.
Our “lid lock light” seems to be malfunctioning. It locks then a few seconds later it unlocks during a cycle making a clicking sound. He washer will proceed as normal but will not spin out at the end of the cycle.
I have a cabrio that clicks “between” all cycles, but still goes thru all cycles. Please help…What part needs to be fixed?
My Whirlpool Cabrio will not fill with water what is the problem I have tried resetting it and nothing
My cabrio platinum will not complete an entire wash cycle. It gets so far then goes to rinse but after that it drains and will not spin out. It’s almost as if it’s out of alignment or something
First my Whirlpool Cabrio washer was stopping on the rinse and spin.
Then when I manually clicked it to the drain and spin the water drained, but left the clothes still very wet even after putting it on drain and spin a second time.
Now it is not filling on the wash cycle.
Sensing light goes on and makes clicks like it’s starting, but doesn’t fill or agitate.
When I tried to reset it, all lights except for the rinse light illuminate.
The rinse light does not go on at all.
