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?

I have a whirpool wtw5000d I did a load of laundry it got stuck on spin cycle clothes were spun out I cancelled it so lid unlocked now I am trying to do another load and it wont start it wont reset and when I unplug power and put back in lid locks and wont let me wash
I have a whirlpool Cabrio WTW5500XW0.
We just replaced the Shift Actuator 2 months ago, but the handyman did not Calibrate. Is that needed?
Now it is acting up. First, the Lid Lock light turns ON even when Power is Off. I have to unplug to reset it.
Then, it won’t complete a cycle without the Lid Light turning ON at different points of the cycle. Had to unplug each time. Smelled something burnt. The last major failure was on a Drain and Spin cycle, when it gave out a loud cracking sound!!
Got into diagnostic mode. 3 Fault codes: F7, F1, F7. I don’t know how to tell the Error Code.
On the first F7, it was the Done light ON. Is that an E0?
On the F1, it was the Spin light ON. What Error Code is that?
On the last F7, both the Rinse and Spin lights are ON. What Error Code is that?
