Ended up watching a video on changing the rps sensor on the bottom of the machine and whilst taking apart, the first two bolts I took off were completely loose. Giving it a shot, I went no further, tightened the bolts and haven't had an issue since. Works like new and didn't have to buy any parts. Thinking those loose bolts may have been setting the sensor off thinking it was uneven load. All good now. Back to washing blankets and comforters. Kylew, GREAT !!! We're glad to know you're machine is up and running. We had a feeling you would find the problem and have it repaired in no time. Your update information should be helpful to those that read the repair forum when trying to repair their "Cabrio" style washer. Thanks Again,

At this point I think I'm going to buy a new one, as the rotor is another $230.
Thanks again for all your help Kampkand, Sometimes that can happen, fortunately not very often. Was pretty sure after all the checks and rechecks you made the washer would be up and running. Sorry it didn't work out. Good Luck !!!

that way you get a new wire harness, sensor and cover. Make sure you install all the parts. That way you have checked cleaned and repaired the drive system, and it should be quite awhile before you need anything else. Ok thanks Joe, I have ordered that kit and will let you know what happens.

I'm wondering now if it is the sensor, although the resistances are within the range specified on the service sheet. here's another video of what it's doing, it won't run very long before it codes. https://www.dropbox.com/s/luwxwc...dcpsuj/IMG_1459.MOV?dl=0 Kampkand, That's a very likely possibility.
