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?

Sonia Inniss,
Did the tech tell you which harness you need for your Whirlpool Washer?
Check Amazon for washer harnesses that are inexpensive.

My sense lights on my Whirlpool washing machine wouldn’t come on.
The start button seemed not to be working.
What can I do?
Technician says everything tests good.
I have to get a harness.
My Whirlpool Washer WTW5640XW3 has no Error Codes.
I even ran the Diagnostic test and received FO EO.
When I turn it on the “Sensing Light” turns on and sounds come from inside, but it does not ever lock the lid, nor does the timer time down.
It will keep going forever like this if I let it.
I tried the recalibration process and it did nothing.
