Whirlpool Cabrio H2Low

[Blaiser]

Have a hell of a time with this Whirlpool Cabrio H2Low Washer Model # WTW5500XW1 machine is not agitating nor spinning. Replaced Motherboard, actuator, splutch assembly, lid switch and even tried a new motor that I had sitting on the shelf. Banging my head against the wall on this one. I guess my last resort is a new capacitor before I take a Sledge hammer to it. Any thoughts?

[/size]It will fill and drain though. Tried putting it in rinse and spin - it will rinse but no spin. Also tried quick wash. Tub seemed to fill awefully high before it drained - no spin

You might want to check for a broken wire at the motor, sometimes vibration breaks one.

Where I have had them broken is in the plastic wrap, right where there plastic ties are.

check the wires going to the capacitor they are very common to fail.on (mvw) washers.

If the start circuit was open, the motor would still get run current and probably pop the breaker.

Did ya recal the machine after replacing the parts?

[Blaiser]

Yes I did but no motor movement. I hear the actuator kick in but no movement

I now have 2 of these crappy machines out back. LOL One of em actually I can get into diagnostics and got a bad lid switch code. I ain't in no hurry to fix it. LOL

Check continuity of wires from control to motor. I've found a couple with a break in the red wire where it goes around support at the right rear corner.
