Fixing A Whirlpool Cabrio With Spin Issues!

[@rickeykeeton4770]

Glad you mentioned rps sensor. I have a Cabrio that seems to fine, except it stops counting dow in spin at 17. I was thinking maybe rps sensor. I will also check for cracks in the stator. Comment?

Hi! I bought a used one of these a few years ago. It always seemed really sensitive to off balance loads. It has gotten progressively worse until today it made it all the way to the rinse and spin cycle and gave me a plain "f" error code each time it quit. I have taken all the wet clothes out and repositioned them and even removed ½ the load but I can't get it to go through the rinse cycle. I even powered it off, unplugged it and tried the drain and spin by itself and still no. It acts like it's doing that thing where it's trying to shift the load to make it work and then errors out. While its trying to shift the load it making a really loud knocking noise when it's trying to shift modes, kind of like the sound when your bearings are bad on your car or the u joint goes bad. Do you think this might be caused by that same issue? I had a kenmore duet W/D combo before this one that had the spider arm crack after 3 years. I bought the whole new replacement drum and we never fixed it. The whole set is sitting in the garage along with the new tub/spider arm replacement still in the box!😩 My grandma had the same brown kenmore washer and dryer my whole life until she passed away. It ran for at least 25 years with only one repair visit! Why is everything so breakable these days! It's like they don't even last 10 years!💔 I would appreciate any advice you could give me right now... I'm just not in the position to replace a washer at this moment. 😢 Thank you! ❤

My Whirlpool Cabrio made it 12 years without needing a repair, but I never loved it as the water sensor process seems to take forever. I'm torn now about bringing in a repairman to fix it or buying something new knowing the new ones are junk. It's not perfect, but I'm still hanging on to my 1989 Kenmore dryer! My mom inherited a freezer from my grandma. It was still going strong at 40 years old. I was tempted to have it sent to my house when Mom passed, but it wasn't frost free and that's a deal breaker for me.

Also, do i search my washer model number to find the part or does the part have a model number on it?

[@heritageranchchoraleandvar3055]

Could the RPM sensor be the cause of the problem? Not just the stator?

[@4thompsonof]

Are all the rpm senor the same for cabrio washer machine having trouble finding

[@bobryberg4360]

great video and thought I would try to replace the stator but when I checked our local parts store he said that my model did not have a stator. I have a cabrio model #WTW5840BW0...it has the same issue of not spinning. Do you know what part may need to be replaced to fix this model?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Are you sure you have a cabrio? As far as I know, all cabrios are direct drive machines with a rotor and stator motor. If it's not spinning, the first thing I would do is spin the drum by hand. If it makes a howling sound like a freight train, the washer is trash. If it is hard to turn, you may have an object (towel) stuck between the two tubs. If the tub checks out ok there js a chance the RPM sensor is bad.

[@UncaSmelly]

Great video! I took mine apart, and rotor/stator seem to be in good condition but still won’t initiate the spin! What else could that be?!

[@ismaelalvarado706]

I believe that's the problem in my machine. Now my question is how should I test the RPS sensor..?? 🤔🤔 thanks very much very helpful 👍👍

[@robertschluga78]

So my stator was cracked like yours. I didn't do the rpm sensor. I still have the same issue. Also will the codes clear if the issues are solved?

[@amykhiry873]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!

[@frontlinemedia4270]

I looked at all of your video and you don’t seem.to have one where a whirlpool washer is not filling up. It appears to be a bad tub valve. I took it apart and it must be missing a rubber piece that shuts the tub. What is the correct name for this valve? Thanks

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Washer inlet valves

[@frontlinemedia4270]

@@DuctTapeMechanic no. The tub valve. But I didn't have a discharge hose hooked up, so that is probably the reason it didn't fill and kept running out

[@wabbott444]

Liked video! I have a Whirlpool Cabrio wtw 6400 3. My washer seems to agitate perfectly fine the tub does lift freely but on the spin cycle it just continues to do a slight agitation rather than an actual full spin. I checked my stator and it does have cracks. I found a great condition stator online for about $45 bucks. It seems worth the Gamble. I like these washers because they're easy to fix. Would you confirm that my symptoms sound like the stator?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Yes, spin issues can definitely be caused by a cracked stator or a bad rpm sensor. I would start with the stator since it has visible damage. Best of luck

[@wabbott444]

@@DuctTapeMechanic I bought a used stator and rpm off of eBay, to be delivered in a few days. Visibly both parts on eBay looked in top condition, and considering the cost vs. NEW parts, it starts to beg the question of just getting a new appliance so I went used. I'll keep you posted how it goes.

[@wabbott444]

No luck. Replaced with a stator with no cracks. Came with an RPM Sensor. Same issue. Anyone have ideas?

[@wabbott444]

Ok... my issue was a $10 washer tub hub. Didnt spin. Error 71 but also 72. Check your hub people. If Agitator spins and tub doesn't, hub is your issue.

[@jpeepz]

​@@wabbott444I'm having the same issue but my stator isn't cracked. Can you give me anymore info on this tub hub? Where did you find the replacement?

[@stevenstygles]

How do you figure what part will fit?

[@hoppy72]

now, where can I get this part? cause this is exactly what my washer is doing. Its almost 13 years old and i would like to fix it.

[@wabbott444]

@hoppy72 I bought one off ebay

[@YOUandMeRealtyDotCom]

Thanks For Sharing! 👏 Sometimes The Splined Plastic Pieces That Mate With The Metal Shaft Splines Can Wear, Which May Cause Slippage, Either On The Bottom Side (Motor ROTOR) or Top Side Drum (HUB Assy.). Something Gotta Give, Metal Beats Plastic… 😉 #ChasingTheuLCode 😵‍💫 #GotCabrio? 🫣

Electronic Cabrio washer won’t rinse

[@cindybahr2]

My Cabrio spins off balance EVERY time and just quits!

[@SerendipityTravels]

18 months after bying a brand new from Lowes a spin sound like a jet is about to land on your roof. Costs more to fix than machine is worth. Piece of Sh***. Stay away. The best Whirlpool can take pride in doing is to offer you a 24 month payment plan to pay off your repair bill. Lol. Laughing stock offer!!

[@mikee7706]

What makes it do that?? Mines so loud at the moment. Also seems to be stuck on high spin.
