A Whirlpool Cabrio washer in Canton wasn’t spinning and made a really messed up noise when it tried. The machine would still wash and go through the wash cycle, but the spin function had failed completely. We found the tub hub had worn out and needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported that their Whirlpool Cabrio won’t spin. When it tries to spin there’s a really messed up/funny noise. The washer will still wash and go through the wash cycle normally.
Diagnosis
During inspection, we identified that the tub hub had failed. This component connects the wash basket to the drive system, and when it wears out or breaks, the washer loses its ability to spin properly while other functions may continue working.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W10528947 — tub hub
- Work performed: Replaced tub hub
- Result: Works great
Is It Worth Repairing?
Whirlpool Cabrio washers are generally reliable machines worth repairing when they have isolated component failures like this. The tub hub is a wear item that can be expected to fail over time, and replacing it typically restores full function to an otherwise sound appliance.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Cabrio Washers
- Clean the washer tub monthly with affresh or a vinegar cycle to prevent buildup that can stress drive components
- Avoid overloading the machine, which puts extra strain on the tub hub and drive system
- Balance loads properly to reduce vibration and wear on internal components
