I had the same issue with mine.....You will have to replace the 4 shock absorbers that hold the drum in the unit. Its really not that hard. I looked on ************************.com and found the parts I needed and then I went to amazon and typed in the part number and they were almost half price. Put them in and have had no issues since. The shock absorbers kinda keep your drum where you put your clothes balanced. Look on you tube for videos on how to fix.

Now this is the postings that I have been looking for.... I think. My Cabrio gets a F70 code and works great until it tries to go into spin. Then it makes a lot of noise, like teeth trying to engage, but not making it. I have checked everything else and tomorrow will check the stator, etc underneath. Thank you guys, and I will post what I find and do.

Didn't think SN was needed...but still have the Code 70 on my Cabrio Model WTW6600sb2 SN CWO0770092. Have checked Rotor,, Position Sensor, Shocks, Stator, and Drive hub. Everything checks out but still have the F 70....and furthermore, I cannot even get it to clear. :(

As you know the F 70 error code is displayed when the machine is overloaded, or the motor can't achieve the proper RPM within the allotted time. "oL flashes when the machine/motor control detects a load size that exceeds the washer’s capacity OR basket can not disengage. This may signify: ➔ Load size exceeds washer capacity. Remove excess laundry, then restart cycle. ➔ Mechanical friction on drive mechanism, not allowing the basket to disengage. With all the previous checks you've made, and if you're sure that the spin basket rises 3/8 of an inch and floats freely, the spin basket isn't cracked or chipped, and the "Teeth" on both drive hubs are not damaged or distorted, then you'll need to check the wiring harness between the RPS switch and the main control board. Apparently the data between the two components would be distorted due to a loose or weak connection in the harness.

Today, I am so sore, you can't believe it.. All the time spent bent over, or crouched behind the washer at 71 years old, is a royal pain. Then there is Murphy....... He decided to literally crush my cut off faucet handle in my hand, so I had to replace the faucet AND redo the small 1/2 inch fitting and the 3/4 inch faucet that was on the 1/2 inch copper tube. Today I am done, and last night I ran two loads of clothes in it with no problem. I don't like it when something starts to work and I don't know what I did to it. However in a few days when my body starts to work right, I will check the wiring very carefully with a meter and flashlight. Thank you very much for responding..... I will post another update next week.

I still do not know what caused the F70 code or the noise when it started the spin cycle....but it is apparently gone now. I essentially took everything apart, and found NO problems, cracks, burn wires etc. The hub gears were good, but there was a lot of gunk on them...so I cleaned them all and also ran a small wire brush up and down the splines. I do not like it when I fix something and do not know what it was that fixed it.

Dandur, If the "Gunk" on the hub "gears" was "heavy" and or Gummy enough, it could have kept the tub from engaging the drive hub properly and caused the F70 code. Remember, in the wash cycle the spin basket has to "float" and disengage the drive hub, after the washer drains, the tub has to drop back down on the drive hub to spin the tub, enough "crud" could create at problem. We're pretty sure that's where the problem was.

Since the sound I heard was like a belt slipping or gears not fully engaging, you are probably right. Although the hub gears were not worn, there are no other gears to make that noise. Like I said everything else looked fine. We (me and the grandson) changed out the tub/motor drive shaft a couple years ago and have had no trouble till recently. I wish there was a way to clear the code, but I guess I will just have to live with it and if there are any problems, I can just go after the new codes.;)
Someone (Betty?) wrote to me and asked for help, but I cannot find where she posted on your site..... I don't want her to feel that I just forgot about her, and am not proficient at moving around your site, so if you can steer me to where I read her post, I would be appreciative.:cool:
