I just got this machine off someone and it is leaking a little underneath. It is also very loud. How do i fix this or is it just broken?
For model number WTW5500XW0
PartSelect logo
Hi Anna, Thank you for your question. If the washer is leaking, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the hose clamps, the hoses, the tub seal, both the hot and cold water valves, the drain pump, the tub to pump hose, the water pressure hose and the extension hose. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Bonjour moi ma laveuse d'une vingtaine d'années fait du bruit infernal quand fait son cicle de lavage. Comment si les Béring manquerais d'huile . Est ce que just changer le noyau ou si faut changer l'engrenage complet, il y avait beaucoup de monnaie de tomber dans les trous . Puis je veux savoir où je pourrai trouver l'outil spécial pour enlever le noyau?

overfills with water.
For model number WTW5500XW0
PartSelect logo
Hi John, Thank you for reaching out. If the washer is over filling during the fill cycle only, this could be an indication the Water Pressure Hose is clogged and may need to be cleaned or the Pressure Switch that is built into the Control Board is faulty and the Board needs to be replaced. We hope this helps!

Lid Lock light blinking, machine will not start
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 failed 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
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 information 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.
