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 Cabrio washes WTW6400 won’t change wash cycle options. The light is stuck on the Drain&Spin cycle. The reset does not work. I have unplugged the machine and let it sit. The control board was replaced a few months ago due to a stuck error code.
After a year and a half of running to the washing machine when the done cycle would “click”/unlock this was a God send. Machine would finish washing clothes then if unattended would just endlessly cycle and keep washing the same load. The reset procedure worked great and the problem is solved. Be careful to do the steps correctly as it took me two times to get it right but it worked. Beats the heck out of calling the repair man out. Thank you.

I have a Whirpool cabrio washer that had coins stuck in the pump. We got the coins out but now are having issues with the washer resetting after a load. We have unplugged it and it would start and continue working for a few loads, then it wants to just try and drain and won’t power off or begin a cycle. We’ve taken the back off and unplugged the connection to the pump then reattached it and it worked for 1 load then back to not responding correctly. We’ve tried to clear the panel and see what error codes are coming up, but the panel won’t allow it to be cleared. Is there anything else to try? Ready to chuck this thing off a cliff!
