Whirlpool Calypso Washing Machine (by 3 users)

the washer just stopped in the middel of the rinse and won't start or nothing just like it was unpluged

The closest I can get to an F5 error code is a FL or SL code. There is no F5 error code in the manual. FL meaning the pressure switch tripped too soon and SL is suds lock, meaning too much detergent. The sqeaking sounds is probabley the U-joint which sits under the wash-plate. They have revised this U-joint with a new kit. They also updated the software in the control board to eliminate the 30 second fluff at the end of the wash. Complaints were grey marks on the clothes caused by this fluffing. Depending on the age of your washer, these upgrades may be covered by the manufacturer. You would need to call Whirlpool. Catriver..post back.

the water don't draing

I have the same washer!!!! Our repairman says they are the worst machines they ever made. Have all sorts of errors, codes...all the time. I will use it until it blows up, and then call my repair guy, and ASK him what kind of washing machine he has. This is a real piece of garbage. Very dissappointed in this washer. (the matching dryer had to have a heating element replaced right after the warranty expired.) They sure don't make em like they used to. *sigh

I have a whirlpool calypso washing machine. It has been sooo
sorry. It has eaten my towels and other things. When I say eaten...it has pulled the threads out into the little holes which are in the bottom of machine. Also my clothes do not come out smelling fresh. This machine should be recalled and money given back..If there is a law suit I sure as heck want in on it..
