Thanks for the videos. I just fixed our 40 year old washer in 20 minutes with $5 worth of parts on Amazon. New $800 appliances are crap and designed to fail in under five years.
Eddie you are a genius thank you for your video now I do not have to resort to cleaning clothes on rocks, your video plus my engineer husband we are back washing clothes inside. Your videos are the bomb. Keep them coming.
Glad I saw this comment. I have an older model that is stopping mid cycle and had a suspicion that it could be a capacitor. Guess I'll be checking that out tomorrow
I have the same machine. Discovered F7E5 and F7E6 after watching your video. My machine takes for ever to run and doesn't spin to dry. Will comment later if I was able to fix it. Thanks for the video.
I decided to go ahead and take the extra hour to read the instruction manual and found out that the fault codes actually tell you exactly what is wrong with the machine....with a wrench and screw driver I was able to fix the machine following the code indicators. The most complex problem is undoubtedly the control board capacitors if you get those fault codes....you have to know how to solder and buy capacitors to do that part....otherwise the parts are not that complex for the other problems...like in my case it was the drain motor being clogged with cotton balls codes F9 and E1....simply had to remove the motor with 3 screws and remove the clog and reattach....all fixed up...took only 1.5 hours.
Thanks for the video. I have the exact same washer with the exact same problem and code and the exact same capacitor is blown. Where can i buy a capacitor and should i replace it with one of higher voltage like you did or just keep them all the same. 60 miles south of Tulsa and don't know if i can get those from Radioshack anymore and wife is pissed!
To run diagnostic, make sure all LED indicator lights are off. You have to start at 12 O' Clock (at Normal) and rotate the knob counterclockwise until you get to 12 O' clock (Normal cycle) again. Then in 8 seconds you must go three forward, one back, one forward. That will start diagnostic mode. Then to get the code. You go one right, press start, then go right again. I have the same washer and that's how I learned to do it and works every time.
it doesn't matter where you start. its looking for the back and forth points and timing. cant do it to fast or slow and you and you cant do it back to back without doing something else
Different Cabrio but the same blown capacitor. That's at least three on this comment section alone with the same fault so I have to believe there's something in the design of the board that makes this cap susceptible to failure. Anyway, replaced the cap for about $1 (16 volt) and all is as it should be. Thank's Eddie!
I just bought one, I fucking hate it!!! It keeps stopping mid cycle and give me a F and goes back to 51. Give me the old fashion agitator any day, this shit is for the birds.
Im working on a similar machine with out the digital screen. The start button is on the bottom right . Anyways the washer first will fill but the fill valve starts of slowly trickling then will fill more later on. Customer complains the washer takes for ever to go thru almost impossible to go go the next cycle and sometimes clothes come out wet when and if its done. I am suspecting the control board. What do you think? Maybe also be tue water valve thats bad. Im stuck lol
@fastEddie i have the same washer and mines keep saying lid lock, it sounds like its trying to start buy does not spit water out or moves,sometimes it goes right to getting water and washing.
sounds like the pump is blocked. there's a coin cech inside the tub but you will have to pull the inner tub to get to it and is probably ceased on the shaft. so good luck little butty.not fun
I paid Lowes 687 dollars for my Cabrio and it is only 7 years now and gone over the hill. Red light blinks on and off and will not do a thing, no hum or buzz but just a clicking sound in the control box as the light blinks. Lid will not lock and it is a new lock and catch also. Control box shows good with green light on in it, so is it the motor?
The Whirlpool Cabrio washer is awful. Bought new at HD thankfully I bought full warranty. After 5 repairs in a few short years I had the opportunity to inherit my mothers mechanical washer and dryer, which I gladly took and sold my Cabrio to my neighbor with a full disclosure of all repairs and receipts, sold for $150, I think I got the top of the line Cabrio which now I have learned never to do again. Yesterday my mothers 30 + year dryer died, I can get it repaired for $277 but not sure what to do. As much as I want to keep the dryer I think I need to buy a new one as simply made as possible. My 30+ year washer is still working well, so I am keeping until it doesn't. My opinion and advice as a senior citizen now, is don't buy anything that has a lot of computer technology because the repairs are many and can be very very expensive if you did not by a warranty. Buy a warranty if you venture to get one of these HE high tech washers.
Hope you can see my question. I have the same washer. Just got it. It turns on but no water comes out. My hot water Fossett dont work. I just have cold water. Could be that the reason of the problem?
I have this very same washer..I HATE IT!! I have had problems with this machine ever since I got it!! Nothing but junk!! Going back to the non digital washer.
I felt the exact same way ; but I decided to go ahead and take the extra hour to read the instruction manual and found out that the fault codes actually tell you exactly what is wrong with the machine....with a wrench and screw driver I was able to fix the machine following the code indicators. The most complex problem is undoubtedly the control board capacitors if you get those fault codes....you have to know how to solder and buy capacitors to do that part....otherwise the parts are not that complex for the other problems...like in my case it was the drain motor being clogged with cotton balls....simply had to remove the motor with 3 screws and remove the clog and reattach....all fixed up...took only 1.5 hours.
My cabrio washer goes from half the was cycle to spin. It don't run its full wash cycle nor does it rinse or spin out. Can anyone help please. I've done the diagnostic on it and it says ol the same as when its done washing
I had this very same washer and it was a lemon from the start. A month after we installed it the transmission went bad. It was still under warranty so they came out and replaced the transmission. 2 months later it went bad again. In total the transmission was replaced 4 times withing the first year. After that it always had issues from time to time with not completing the cycle. A few weeks ago the control board went bad. That was the last straw. I replaced it with a Maytag machine. I know Whirlpool and Maytag are actually the same company but I am hoping that the Maytag will last longer. The Whirlpool Cabrio is nothing but junk.
Whenever I try the calibration only 3 of the lights come on. The spin and done light will not come on!! I have searched the web far and wide to find the issue or at least the error code. Please help it’s for my elderly grandmother!! (Edit) doesn’t have the digital display!!
I have the same washer with no digital screen. Stopped mid cycle with the lid lock engaged and I can't clear anything to open the lid to get the manual!!! Ive unplugged it several times... gone through the hokey pokey on the knob and I don't speak Klingon so I have no idea what the machine is trying to tell me! I dropped out of psychic school, my intuition is on the fritz and my gut is currently busy with last nights brisket! How in the corn bread hell do I unlock this blasted lid? I would chuck the entire thing out the back door if my favorite jeans weren't currently being held hostage within this sorry excuse for a washing machine....
I think it might be time to call somebody. Unfortunately Im not a psychic either. If you have went through all the steps in the video already and it didn't relinquish its evil power grip on your favorite jeans its time to call a professional.
If it is like mine, it is the bearings going out. I replaced my bearings on the shaft and it fixed the problem. I ordered the parts kit from Amazon for 59.00 I believe.
Horrible, horrible, horrible washers. Horrible. Nothing but absolute JUNK!!!!!!! I'd wager WP is more interested in pleasing Wall Street than the consumers.. Junk! Junk! Junk! Junk! Junk! Stay away.

Thank you for taking your time to video and share this. Replaced the same blown capacitor for $2.15 and it worked.
Glad I saw this comment. I have an older model that is stopping mid cycle and had a suspicion that it could be a capacitor. Guess I'll be checking that out tomorrow

Thank you so much for this video. It was instrumental in our fixing our washer. Thank you, thank you!
Hi heavy breathing my hubs walked in and said what are you watching!! 😂🤣
Awesome instructions, thanks so much for posting this!
Thank you so much for the video !!!
Wow thank you so much this helped us a bunch.
Old school agitator style for me. No electronic controls either. A fraction of the price and they last forever
Im going back to the old style the new ones cost to much to fix
Ours is 6 years old and running like a champ. We do about 5-6 loads per week.
The hell? Why are you here???
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

it doesn't matter where you start. its looking for the back and forth points and timing. cant do it to fast or slow and you and you cant do it back to back without doing something else
turning it counterclockwise more than two points just resets the diagnostic initiation so that you can start the diagnostic initiation
Where do you buy caps for the washer?
Can u give me an idea of what that may be?
Different Cabrio but the same blown capacitor. That's at least three on this comment section alone with the same fault so I have to believe there's something in the design of the board that makes this cap susceptible to failure.

It's the loudest machine I have owned.
I know in the beginning I thought jeezzz its awful
Nice job very helpful I've been through about 10 videos see or seem to work nice job hopefully other feel that way

Pull the codes. use the tech manual . Past that use your gut
What about the digital screens for diagnostic?
@fastEddie i have the same washer and mines keep saying lid lock, it sounds like its trying to start buy does not spit water out or moves,sometimes it goes right to getting water and washing.
sounds like the pump is blocked. there's a coin cech inside the tub but you will have to pull the inner tub to get to it and is probably ceased on the shaft. so good luck little butty.not fun
you can also check out the newest video maybe thats your problem
Can you take this washer and take a control board to another one of these
I have the almost the same washer ..my doesn't have the digital screen on the top right corner ..so how would I diagnosed mine
lights below the dial its in that tech manual
if i have helped you at all please subscribe it helps my channel stay alive

Try the actuator. It's a little round red thing on the bottom

It needs both hot and cold to work now it doesn't have to be hot just supply water to both valve
Would it be better to just buy a new washer then replace the board

This is what mine is doing. Did u discover the issue?
did you find answer?
How much did it cost you to replace all the capacitors?
How do I do this if I don’t have a digital screen ?
with the lights below the knob

THe tub bearing will go out soon on these junky things.Pure junk!
Or you can fix the bearings
Can I get some help with my cabrio ? When it’s in a wash cycle it makes really loud noises
Mine too heeeelp
If it is like mine, it is the bearings going out. I replaced my bearings on the shaft and it fixed the problem. I ordered the parts kit from Amazon for 59.00 I believe.
Mine stops all the time I'm so sick of this shit screw it I'm gonna go to laundry mat
Blessings, John 3:16 (NIV). Jesus loves you. God bless you and your family. Thank you.
Throw it out and buy a used direct drive Whirlpool, problem solved.
Horrible, horrible, horrible washers. Horrible.
Nothing but absolute JUNK!!!!!!!
I'd wager WP is more interested in pleasing Wall Street than the consumers..
Junk! Junk! Junk! Junk! Junk! Stay away.
I don't have the screen but I figured out how to get my codes manually. But I have 3 different ones and now I don't know where to start! :(
the video shows what the codes mean
Yes. But mine are different than yours...
My code is saying E1 F7
Never buy this piece of crap if you want a long lasting washer
