My washer will not spin and the clothes are all wet.
For model number WTW5500XW2
PartSelect logo
Hi Victoria, Thank you for your question. If the washer is not spinning, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the shift actuator, the lid latch assembly, the driver belt, the washer drive pulley, the capacitor and the lid latch strike. You will need to test the electronic parts with a multimeter. For the other parts, you will need to make a visual inspection. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Washer is very loud when drum is spinning. Everything functions properly. The unit is in a mobile home with not much room around it. Can I see inside thru the top cover without removing the entire case. If it's just a belt I can probably replace it on my own
For model number WTW5500XW2
PartSelect logo
Hello John, thank you for your inquiry. A loud noise during the spin cycle, while everything else functions properly, often indicates an issue with the drum mounting hub, part number PS2581262. We would recommend checking it to solve the problem. 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.
