uL Code Error / cracked STATOR

[QUOTE=Clothierti;914512]I have a Cabrio WTW8600YW0 Washer that is throwing codes and acting up. Over the past two weeks I have received an F50, several UL and a few SD. From what I can tell the load has not been uneven and we have not changed our soap usage one bit over the years of owning the machine.

Tonight after I got a UL code and adjusted the load I then got a SD code. The lid lock would not shut off after the SD code and I have to unplug the machine to try and reset the CPU and get the lid open.

The basket spins free and when it gets into it’s spin cycle there doesn’t seem to be any issues there from what I can tell.

Tonight after getting both codes and then the lid open I ran the machine through the rinse, drain cycle to get the clothes dry and it seemed to work fine.[/QUOTE]
Clothierti, The codes you supplied indicate an issue in the drive system. There are several things to check, before you dismantle the stator , rotor and RPS sensor. A stuck article between the tubs, as small as a babies sock or handkerchief can create enough “drag” on the tub to create the error codes. If the basket hub drive doesn’t engage properly, when the water is drained and the basket drops down into position on the drive gear, will cause the error codes. Then you’ll want to remove the rotor and check for a cracked or loose rotor, loose stator bolt, then the RPS sensor and wiring. When you check the basket hub and drive gear, make sure there are no burrs or debris on the “teeth” of the gears. At this point, it sounds like a sensor or stator issue, you may want to start there.
