Been getting an f51 error code. Washer won't spin on high and has a noisy sound. Since F51 is an error code for RSP stator assembly sensor, decided to check. But bolts are froze can't get them off stator. Any ideas on how to get them off, maybe some WD 40, and it looks like there are some hairline cracks in stator. Could this cause problems in F51 error. Help appreciated.

dont use wd40 near the motor parts..........use some muscle they'll come off i've never seen these seized on ever. And you'll have to replace the stator and the rps which they may sell as just a complete harness some units it's not available alone. Cabrio's are horrible machines your better off not investing any money into it anymore. Call Whirlpool and complain you said it's less then a year it should have a year warranty.

The washer is 5 years old. Don't know why the bolts are froze. Are they turned counter clockwise maybe. The only thing I could think of is WD 40 to help loosen the bolts. Trying not to get WD 40 on motor parts. May not be worth the investment.

You could try some Liquid Wrench.
It is better than WD40 for loosening up things.

Let it sit for a couple hours to let it penetrate.
