This particular washer has a test that we can run to see any errors. This can be confusing on this model.
I am including a document below that will describe how to view the old error codes. Use the section that starts with Activating the service diagnostic modes. You can start with the cycle selector knob at any position.

  1. Be sure the washer is in standby mode (plugged in with all indicators off).
  2. Perform the following sequence of movement using the cycle selector knob. NOTE: After reset, sequence "a" through "e" must be completed within 6 seconds. When it tells you to rotate the cycle selector knob, it means 1 click, not a full turn. Once you have completed the cycle knob turns reset and "a" through "e", turn the cycle selector 1 click clockwise from the position it is already in. This is the fault code display mode. Then press the start button. Each time you turn the cycle selector knob 1 click clockwise after pressing start will show you an error code. Note: this washer stores 4 codes if any. The error codes on this washer are displayed in this format: F5 E3, F7 E1, etc. There is an error code chart in the image below.
If there are no error codes stored, I recommend that you start from the beginning (step 1 above) and then run the Automatic test mode. If this unit detects a problem, it will display the error at the end of this test.
Here is a list for the errors.

Calibrating whirl pool washer after repair

Linda. I know nothing about this washer, but I did get this info from the attached link, you may still have to call a tech.
Put into diagnostics (left, right, right, right, left, right) @ done you see errors, @ spin you run calibration(this will clear codes and reset board). good luck

The tub continues to go off balance in spin cycle. Starts out smooth then starts to wobble terribly til the UL shows and shuts down. Support rods are good

There is a little device inside the washer that allows the agitator to spin independent of the drum. If this gets stuck, the washer will try to spin the whole drum instead of just the agitator. This will cause the washer to think the load is too large or out of balance, causing the error code. On some Whirlpools this device is just a washer.

I have a WTW5600XW Cabrio Electric Dryer and a WTW5640XW Top load Washer. I have lost my ring and think it may be in either one of these. I think I forgot it in my pants pocket when I put it in ther

In the washer it could be under the agitator if it is a top loader, if it is a front loader there is really no place for it to go but check the rubber seal around the door. In the dryer it should be in the tumbler or possibly in the lint filter but unless the lint screen is broken or you ran it without one it should not be able to go out into the venting piping etc

Whirlpool washer fault codes

Whether under Warranty or Not this is a Controller Problem and a Tech will have to be called as you won't be able to DIY access a new part from an Appliance Parts Shop or Whirlpool.
Controller or sensor are not repairable but must be replaced as a Unit to restore full function

How do I fix my whirlpool cabrio washer is showing code sD

Ideally, you just run the washer without any detergent and it'll rinse out all the soap. Try that first. My Cabrio started doing that all the time, then stopped spinning out all the water. It had a host of problems and I opted to replace the washer. Hopefully the water rinse will fix the problem for you.
