Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6600SBT Top Load Washer Logo
Anonymous Posted on Mar 12, 2010

My new Whirlpool Cabrio stops repeatedly with the UL flashing it never finishes a wash load, do you have a step by step CD explaining the use of this washer? I am about to return it to the store and get a different brand washer.

I believe this model has a defective control board under the control panel. The new control board has longer times between the drain and the spin. Eliminating the unbalance when it tries to spin with water still left in it. Also check for slow drain this will enhance the problem. The control board is a warrany repair if covered.

Unbalanced load is detected by the machine control and the error code continues to display if the load is not rebalanced by the control through a mini-cycle and the lid is not opened.

Open the lid and redistribute the load properly. Make sure the washer is installed on a level and rigid surface. Use a leveling tool to make sure the washer is properly leveled to avoid the error code "UL" appearing on the display. If the error continues to appear, that's the time to decide returning the unit.

My washer keeps stopping at the spin cycle and says UL for uneven load. The load is not uneven and evey load does this

Hi.

UL is displayed when there is a balancing problem or when balancing sensor is defective.

The first thing to do is checking floor level and putting the machine at balance as explained in the user manual also try distributing the load
. If that does not work there are internal faults that may trigger the fault code. The balancing sensor and the electronic control board must be tested. The machine must be disassembled to locate the problem.

If you need parts see this tip explaining how to find parts and diagrams for most appliances: Where do I find parts and diagrams for my appliance?
