Frequently Asked Questions
•What is the best way to check the suspension rods for damage?
Visually inspect the rods for any signs of bending, cracking, or excessive wear. You can also try pushing down on the tub to see if it bounces excessively or if the rods seem loose or detached.
•How do I level the washing machine properly?
Use a bubble level placed on top of the washing machine. Adjust the leveling legs until the bubble is centered. Ensure all four legs are firmly in contact with the floor and then tighten the lock nuts to secure the legs in place.
•What resistance values should I expect to see on the motor windings?
The specific resistance values for the motor windings will vary depending on the exact model. Refer to the technical service manual for your specific Whirlpool Cabrio model for the correct values. Generally, you should see a low resistance reading (a few ohms) across each winding, and no continuity between the windings and the motor frame.
