Cabrio Washer Help
I have a Cabrio washer model # wtw5500xw2. The lid lock broke so we replaced it. Now it will lock but will not go beyond sensing. It makes a noise like it is working and clicks then nothing it just says and repeats. I believe the codes I am getting are F7 E5, F5 E3, and F8 E1. The washer worked great before this. Can anyone help?
