Cabrio Platinum Top Load Washer Off Balance
I have a Top Loading Whirlpool Cabrio Top Load Washing Machine that is constantly showing the UL Unbalanced Load on every load I wash now and I can't get the washing machine to spin long enough to get the water out so i I can put the clothes in the dryer. I have removed teh panel board but can not seem to figure out if there are clips on the front or side holding the casing on. I want to see if maybe some clothing got between the basket and wall of the washer. Very Frustrated and in need of desperate help. I do not have money to call a repairman. Can anyone help me out with this issue? I would be forever grateful!
