A customer in Paris, Ohio called us after flooding on their main floor affected their Whirlpool Cabrio washer. They reported the unit wouldn’t power up and was going haywire after water exposure. When we arrived and hooked up the washer, we found everything was actually operating correctly.
The Problem
The customer’s sink flooded on the main floor and water went onto their washer. Now it won’t power up and just goes haywire. They were sure something fried inside of it.
Diagnosis
After hooking up the washer and checking it thoroughly, everything appeared to be operating correctly. What seemed like electrical damage from water exposure turned out to be a false alarm.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None needed
- Work performed: Hooked up washer and checked all functions
- Result: Everything appears to be operating correctly
Is It Worth Repairing?
Whirlpool Cabrio washers are generally reliable machines built to last. When water exposure doesn’t actually damage internal components, as in this case, you’ve got a washer that should continue providing years of service. No repair costs means this was the best possible outcome.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Cabrio Washers
- Clean the wash basket regularly with Cabrio washer cleaner tablets to prevent buildup
- Leave the lid open after cycles to allow moisture to evaporate and prevent mold
- Check and clean the drain pump filter monthly to maintain proper drainage
