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?

Hi I have a Kenmore elite oasis and the washer is working perfectly fine but when I do a diagnostic to check for error codes and f51 is there and does not come off and the washer works fine. I’ve already tested it 4 ti.es and works fine how do I remove the code?
I have a Cabrio and when I cycle a wash it does just fine but when it ends after a few mins it re starts the cycle again but then stops on wash and lid unlocks. I have tried steps above several times but still does this restarting wash and stop? Any idea what is wrong?
No error code just stops washing after about a minute can’t get lid to open at all unless I unplug it
Whirlpool washer HE brand new out of the box bought 3-11-18. Plugged everything in and stuck on sensing. Filles up, does a couple other things, senses one more time and then nothing. Tried the resets 3 times and still not going past sensing.
