Water just trickles when filling
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Mark, thank you for your inquiry. We suggest you take a close look at the water inlet valve to check whether its screens are clogged or not. Clean the screens. Try disconnecting the hoses on the back of the machine and cleaning the screen in the inlets. If this does not help, we recommend replacing the water inlet valve, part number PS11757114.

when it spins it shakes alot wobblyi just put new rods in it and was working just fine but all of a sudden it started shaking
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Herman, Thank you for your question. If your washer still shakes and moves after replacing the suspension rods, you will likely need to replace the suspension springs. These springs help the tub maintain proper alignment. If they are damaged or worn, they will need to be replaced. You should also make sure that the washer is level and that you are not overloading the washer as this may also cause the washer to shake and move. We hope this helps!

What causes loud banging on spin cycle? How can I fix it?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Thomas, thank you for asking. We suggest checking for any obstructions between the tub and drum first. You can also check the drive block, spanner nut and tub seal for wear or damage. If they are good, you may have a damaged gearcase, washer drive pulley or belt. We hope this information is useful!

  • David from Los Alamos, NM
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
A detailed Service Technician Service Manual is hidden inside the machine on the front panel. It is hidden by the bleach dispenser input. It gives a list of fault codes and instructions for calibration after repair, resetting fault codes, and a manual test mode for stepping the machine through each mode on command. The Tachometer faile d which would not let the machine come up to maximum spin speed. The tachometer is part of the solenoid actuator that shifts the transmission. It is not specifically called out in the manual. Any failure causes the lid lock light to blink which gives the appearance of a lid lock failure

Defective lid latch - Cabrio Washer
97 of 124 people found this instruction helpful.
  • William from Wakefield, RI
  • Very Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
The instructions that came with the part were worthless. Essentially, unplug, put in new part, plug it back in. I spent a considerable amount of time on the internet and finally found a video showing how to open the top. Unlike other models, it is held down by clamps in the back rather than clips in the front. Once finding this inform ation the installation was simple. Remove the clamps and the back of the console, slide the top forward and lift, remove and replace the lock and reassemble. You don't even have to remove the hoses.
