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 just moved. When tried to use machine. The sensing light flashes and if I open and close lid water disperses into tub for a few seconds and stops. And then washing machine doesn’t do anything but sensing light turns on solid without flashing.
I tried the resetting procedure but not it isn’t resetting. My model is a WTW5000DW1. Thank you.

And about every other load I wash will not spin the load without doing the rest. And it’s just about every load if it’s a small load. I haven’t had it very long at all. I thought it may have something going out electronically. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I have a whirlpool cabrio washer model number wtw5500xw3. I was running a cleaning cycle on the washer and when I was wiping the condensation from the surface I bumped the knob and now my washer won’t do anything. I had to for the door open to empty the water from it . How do I get my washer to come back on?

We bought a used Cabrio Platinum washer (WTW8500BWO) and when I plugged it in water came out of the back. It fried the board. We replaced the board and the broken water inlet valve. It will still not come on. There is no error code. It made some beeps and it still did not work so I unplugged it again. We have tried both of the resets on this website to no avail. Have you any idea?
