We have a Whirlpool Cabrio Top Loading Washer Model WTW6600SW1 in which we just replaced the control panel. The washer will take on water and will go through a wash cycle up to the rinse cycle, where it will drain and spin, but it will not go through the rinse cycle and it leaves the clothes sodden with water. Running a Rinse and Spin will have the washer rinse with the detergent, though it will not spin and drain properly. Using the Spin and Dry option will make the washer spin and drain properly. We ran a diagnostics test on the washer, it went to C1, took on water and finally showed an 'oL' error code, stopping the diagnostics. Would this sound like a problem with the rotor sensor? Or something else? Any help would be appreciated!

SOURCE: washer stops and shows oL over load

The "oL" error code in the Cabrio and Bravo washers means the motor is sensing an overload ("oL") condition. While this could indicate a problem with the motor, it usually doesn't. Most of the time, you'll see this error code when one of two things is going on:

1) There's a piece of clothing stuck between the inner basket and outer tub.

2) The tub is not floating freely, usually because it's seized to the drive shaft by rust and crudus; FYI: this condition is almost always caused by using non-HE detergent in this washer. Also, be aware that, if this is the case, it can be very difficult to remove the basket from a badly corroded drive shaft, could even be a two-man job.

Here is a video to help you get into the machine.

Keep me posted!
