	Good suggestion, change and debris in the pump happens all the time. Thanks for taking the time to post the tip.

	I had a problem with my cabrio washer squealing and humming, ended up being loose change in the pump. if your up to it pull the back off and unhook the rubber 90* that connects to the pump on the left, then stick your finger in there and feel around for some change. i have had to do this more than a couple times. just my $.02

	Noises are extremely difficult to diagnose without being there to hear the type of noise and its approximate location. Again, although I am strongly in favor of repair, for this model I can only advise you again to replace the machine

	I dont see the bearing listed as a part of the stator or the rotor. Is there a bearing, if not what is the making the screaming noise when the machine spins out.

The new machines are being heavily discounted, and they will do just as good a job washing your clothes. I think the Cabrio added a lot of complex technology without adding to the ability to clean the laundry.

	I have a 3 yr old Whirlpool Cabrio that is making a lot of noise during the spin cycle. The local Whirlpool dealer sent a tech out. He said it was the bearings in the motor that would need replacing at $350 for the part and at least $200 for the labor. He is trying to sell us a new washer. Which motor do I need. Parts tech sent me a link to the rotor and the stator motor. I thought it would look like a regular electric motor. Please advise.:confused:
