Thanks for choosing FixYa. What all codes are you getting? The numbers?

There have been a lot of reports where technicians have been ordering RPS's prior to the common fix for the problem which is the control board. This is a common problem and the control board fixes F50 faults in most cases.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

F error in your whirlpool cabrio indicates bad control and should be replaced to resolve the error code. However, you can contact Whirlpool as well prior to replacing the control yourself as I have seen whirlpool paying for the parts themselves just because this is known to be a common issue. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Hi Jane from retired Englishman in SW France,

Normally I would advise cleaning/clearing the drain filter but for some reason the Cabrio does not have an easily acccessible filter fitted just before the drain motor like other washers of other (sensible!) manufacturers.
So- it is really a case of having you, or someone else, check the drain motor itself to see if IT is blocked and the drainage pipes/system. Sorry ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Hi, the OL code means Overloaded..
OL flashes when the machine/motor control detects a load size that exceeds the washer's capacity.Open the door lid to clear display, remove excess laundry, then restart the cycle.

A Door Lock Error occurs if the door cannot be locked. It will try to lock it six times before displaying the error code. It has happened because Door lock mechanism is broken or removed from door. It may also happen due to Door switch/lock unit failure. To resolve the issue follow these steps---
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Check door switch/lock unit.
3. Check the wire harness connections to the door switch/lock unit and Central Control Unit (CCU).

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
(pre-typed- I don't type that fast!)

If you have checked that the hot and cold water taps are turned on fully and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking both the hot and cold water inlet filters. Turn the taps off and remove both hoses at the washer end. Inside each inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace each one and the hoses. If after turning the taps back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot or cold water control valve. Sorry but it needs a service call and a check that it isn't the control PCB ;-0(
