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?

We completely cleaned out the washer top to bottom. Drained everything. Tried the resets. We still start a normal cycle and a few minutes in it shows the sd code and than finally starts beeping. Full or empty or with the special cleaning detergent. It doesn’t matter. I have never had so much trouble with a washer. If it’s a major fix we will probably just trash this and buy a used maytag. No more whirlpools for us.
I have a Whirlpool Cabrio WTW5600XW3. First it would not drain and spin and I did some online searches and followed the troubleshooting tips and can never duplicate the results that are shown in the videos, so I did what I have always done. Change the mode to drain and spin to complete the load. Now it gets stuck in the wash cycle and makes a humming sound like it wants to work but does nothing. The remaining time stays the same and the hum continues. I can never get it in diagnostic mode or do a reset. Any help would be appreciated.
my whirlpool cabrio won’t reset. all the lights won’t come on, the machine starts groaning or humming, like it’s trying to work. this started when a load got ran without realizing water to the machine had been turned off.
I replaced the shift actuator and the lid lock and my washer is still not working.the codes said that these two things were the problem. Now it is continuing to blink red in the lid lock. It starts then it locks them unlocks them locks again and this is when it starts blinking red and I can’t do anything I have to unplug it for the light to stop blinking. Can you please help me? Thank you.
i have Cabrio modwlWTW7300XW that is a seasonal machine. it was purchased in 2011.the oL light comes on after washing for several minutes. it is not overloaded. This happens in every setting. I am able to do a washing by moving the settings along to rinse and then spin. a nuisance!
I replaced the lid lock switch and now my washer will not do a complete cycle. We have the whirlpool Cabrio. Being more specific the tub fills up and does not agitate and then it empty’s the water. I tried reset and that didn’t help, is this something you can help me with?
I had the SD code appear on my WP Cabrio Top loader…so I googled ..it said that meant there were to many suds…told me to make sure I was using HE detergent,etc…well I use pods , usually ALL brand, I throw one in …not 20….ONE. I called the repairman who came out and charged me 89 bucks today…treated me like a slow, small child and said you’re using too much detergent. I responded no I’m not I googled SD code and I am not sure why it’s doing that but I use ONE POD. He proceeded to pull my drain hose out about a foot and a half and said it was down to far in the pipe. This took him all of 7 minutes to do. I was very skeptical and said are you sure it’s fixed. Oh yes ma’am it’s fixed. On the second load the damn SD code showed up AGAIN and it’s refusing to spin out when that happens. I am FURIOUS right now. I”ve got a call in to these people but am NOT experiencing any kind of stellar service so what do you guys think I should do? Or try?
