Product review (1 stars): CABRIO is a NIGHTMARE!!!!! SHOULD get a ZERO, but that's not an option here for some reason!!!!
I am happy for those of you who have not had problems w/this machine!  HOWEVER, you seem to be much fewer than those of us who have had issues w/this machine... 2 weeks after we purchased this machine things started to go bad, but I was in denial because I wanted to LOVE this machine so desperately!  It was SUPPOSED to be our dream machine, but turned out to be our laundry nightmare!!!

It all started w/an LD error... okay, that means "long drain" check for a kink in the hose, not enough of the drain hose in the wall drain, blah, blah, blah... a repair man came here & told me it is because of too much soap & taking too long to drain.  I had done my research BEFORE we bought this machine because I was so determined to make it work, that I wanted to make sure I used it right.  Showed the repairman my HE bottle of WHIRLPOOL endorsed detergent, & told him I was using about 2 tsp (if that) of soap for a FULL load... told him I kept checking to see how many suds there were to make sure there was enough, but not too much soap.  He told me to add a bucket of water to the machine if the LD error came up again & to use LESS soap... I smiled & said OKAY, but was thinking that he STILL thinks I am using too much soap... whatever!!!  NOT the case... I know to check the rinse cycle to check for any soap residue & there was NONE.  I also asked him if there was too much detergent, then WHY DIDN'T I get the sud error message, hmmm?!?!?

Of course, the LD error came up again & again & again.  Adding water did nothing, nor did cancelling the load & starting over... I had to unplug it & let it sit EMPTY overnight before it would work again.  Not very productive, let me tell you!  I humored the repairman & even tried less detergent AND same thing!!! had I used any less detergent, I would have been washing my clothes w/water!!!!

Then the whole ridiculous F1 error came up... UGGHHH!!!  WHAT IS THAT???  According to Whirlpool it is an "electrical" issue... the repairmen came here 4 MORE times & guess what, IT STILL DOES NOT WORK!!!!  I have had a new control board (brain), things taken apart & cleaned, etc.  GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!

I am seriously FED UP, & so is my hubby.  He is determined he is going to peorsonally take this machine back to Sears & tell them to eat their return policy... I hope it works... not sure what machine to get next, assuming Sears takes this hunk of junk back?!?!?

I read Fisher & Paykel is great & one of the 4 different repair guys that came here said that F&P has the bugs worked out of their products since they have been around so long... BUT I read some bad reviews on-line & am leery now... I need a machine w/out an agitator (we have a history of our clothes being ripped apart by our washer w/an agitator, so I am not even willing to risk it again.... also a Whirlpool... hmmm?!?!?  We went w/WP again though because we figured that w/out an agitator we would be fine... yeah, nice try.).

Anyway, if you try a Cabrio I hope it works... chances are it won't, but I also like to try things for myself sometimes ;0).  Does anybody else have the F1 error???  Is that the updated code for the F51 error since my LCD screen can't even display 3 numbers and/or letters?!?!?
