Trying to install whirlpool cabrio. hoses seem to be connected right but machine won't fill on start, just hums off and on while sensing. any thoughts on what to do next? thanks

I would say that the lock has failed. Either the lock itself or maybe the pin or latch that fits into it when you close the door may have cracked / broken. If the machine thinks the door / lid is still open, it wont let you start it.

Hi Sherry,

The code definition for LF is a LONG Fill (F30). What does that mean is the next question? Here goes.

a. The fill hose may have a pinch or fold between the connections on the pressure in .
b. Are the hose screens plugged at the connections.
c. Is the water siphoning out of the drain hose ?
d. Is the water pressure at peak, check valve, filters before washer.

Now if your savvy hungry. Here is a learning curve link

Okay. The next link is for the manual for your favorite machine. Manuals and Troubleshooting Whirlpool Whirlpool Cabrio Washer Fault Codes . I tried this and you need registration.


I decided to go one step further and track down a printable and savable resource for you. Yes, all, the fault codes and what they mean.

Whirlpool Cabrio Washer Fault Codes

I did pretty good from memory but that link leads you to a printout you can keep right by your washer. Most of the occurrences are easy to fix without a technician. Hope this makes your day. Better. Fare. Well.

Check the screens in the hoses for blockage

when doing the diagnostic testing machine fill up almost full and stop display an ol mode

Possible that the switch is defective, there is fault in the line to the control unit from the switch of the control unit is faulty.
check these one by one.

Humming could be a blockage on the fill solonoid valve remove water fill hose and clean the filter at the valve it pulls out or use an old toothbrush

If it doesn't fill it won't start any other cycle unless you move it ahead yourself. If it hums I am thinking it is trying to fill. Sounds like the valve is turning on to let water in but it is not getting through. My washer has a screen where the hoses go on and sometimes the screen becomes plugging with scale. If that is ok then the solenoid must be coming on but the valve is stuck. Does neither hot or cold settings work? Please rate my answer so I am rewarded points for it.

Hi

If the washer won't fill you'll need to check for the water inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the pressure/water level switch assembly. Inspect the inlet hose coming to the washer for any blockages. If the hose is not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the water will not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve is bad and should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check continuity on inlet valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then you'll need to replace the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is fine then the pressure/water level switch assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Yes that sounds right a hum would be at start of cycle if water flow into was restricted in some manner and washer wasnt filling. What your is the hum the water valve makes when is calling for water yet no water from hoses coming to it.
The things to check are for blocked filter screens inside of ends of water valve on back where hoses attach to.
If you have :AQUAFLOW" brand hoses the internal stopper is hose is bad and hose should be replaced using standard hoses

Also for water coming from house pluming where hoses connect to at wall/faucet/spigot

When I turn the dryer on say to 40min,it shows does not come on and it goes to a F1 on the daily
