Cabrio Washer - tub damage on very top flange

I have the complete service manual for the Cabrio washer. Go to
http://appliancecafe.com and click on the repair forum link on the top of the page, signup for the forum and then you will have access to the service manual area. Go to the washer section and the Cabrio service manual is the very last post. Let me know if you have any problems getting it.

Your model has a bearing under the tub which is probably going bad and needs to be replaced. cabrio washer bearing replacement YouTube

Lid switch needs to be replaced.

Yes this is a common problem

if it sounds like a jet taking off, its the bearings. got to replace the tub. bearing comes with the tub

there is the main tub seal that could be leaking and it is between the tub and transmission.

I also had an F50 code on my Cabrio top load washer. Went through all the diagnostics, removed the tub, checked the motor, etc. After a lot of research, purchased a new control board (part #W10189966) and....it works even better than before....no more noise and spins perfectly. Very easy to install (3 screws and one bolt.) Please don't waste your time (like we did) checking all these other areas of the machine. The part was $155. (google it for best price new) and worth it if it will last another year or more...
