Cabrio WED6200SW1 Dryer

by Karen
(Colorado)

This dryer is a pile of junk. It is so noisy can't be in the kitchen or family room when you use it. Bought it with the matching Cabrio HE washer on February 15, 2010. Had three service calls on it because it is so noisy. They have'nt been able to repair it. Very disappointed in this product and the way I've been treated by Whirpool and the service company. I would not recommend it to any one and I will never purcahse another appliance from Whirlpool.

Cabrio Dryer WED6200SW1 F1 code won't reset NEW
by: Anonymous

Cabrio dryer F1 code displayed in diagnostics

Tried the obvious-even replaced control board

F1 Fault still displayed in diagnostics but seems to run
Fine despite code not clearing even after control bosrd changeout.

Anyone run into this ? Any other possible reason for
F1 fault ? Wiring harnesses all appear fine- no other faults &
Dryer seems to run normally & hears as expected.

Puzzled. :(

Should have read the reviews NEW
by: Anonymous

Our Cabrio Wed6200SW1 never really worked correctly from the start. Most times it would not dry properly. Then it started overheating, then it failed. Repaired it twice and it died again. No more Whirlpool products. The name does not mean quality anymore.......

good until junk NEW
by: Anonymous

3 or 4 years it worked and then one day it didn't, not worth paying for new board and installation so bought a GE plain jane dryer with fewer sensors and electronics, still not cheap 600$ but hopefully it will last

Garbage dryer NEW
by: Anonymous

Bought this dryer in April of 2010. In March of 2012 the motherboard had to be replaced at a cost of $335. Then in October 2014 the thermal fuse went at a cost (with 1 year warranty) of $200.00. The dryer got so hot the clothing burned our hands! The thermal fuse went out again in November 2014 ... we've decided to throw it out and replace it with Plain Jane dryer. Sounds like this model was a lemon from the start - with all of these complaints, I think we should consider a class-action lawsuit!

Reliability no longer a Whirlpool concept NEW
by: Fed up!

Dryer electronics are pathetic! Since I am not an electrical engineer I will probably be discounted. But, when a sensor fails three times in four years and they wanted me to by an extended five year warranty, it says something. When a sensor fails and takes out the main control board two of the three times, that says something. When you cannot. Get help, that says something. Guess Whirlpool is just a marketing company now since they no longer know how to manufacture anything.

Expensive piece of junk
by: Zany1

3 years old and have replaced sensor once. 10 days later dryer quits again with same sensor problem. If sensor fails after this repair will look for a plain Jane version. Whirlpool use to build quality products. I guess they no longer value customer loyalty.

I purchased my Whirlpool Cabrio Washer and dryer set almost 3 years now, and I must say that I have not had any issues with either machine.
They are very spacious, I can fit 1 queen and 2 twin comforters to wash at a time with no problem, and they are both very quite you can't even tell I'm washing or drying.

Worst Washer and Dryer
by: Terryhtx

Cabrio 6200 Washer and dryer are the worst set I have ever owned both twist any sheet or shirt in to rope. even on delicate my no iron shirts are more wrinkled than when I wear them. Whirlpool offers no help except to call for service and "They can't find anything wrong" Will never by from Whirlpool again they don't stand behind there product.

WHIRLPOOL CABRIO JUNK
by: nat

Bought washer and dryer from Lowe's on 11-18-2009. On Jan 10 2012 the heating element touched the back of the cover causing a short, this caused the heat to stay on even when the dryer was off.If this happens when you are not home you could burn your house down. Had to unplug the dryer call the repairman. Jan 23 2012 dryer is broke again, this time the thing comes on but will not start (heat or tumble) all lights are on like normal but no action. Whirlpool says they have had no problems with this dryer. I have to call B.S. on that. JUNK DRYER WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER WHIRLPOOL PRODUCT...

Where is the service?
by: Customer eXperience ????

Buying from Whirlpool is like buying from a black hole. Once you leave the store with the appliance, all you get from the "Customer eXperience Center" is an answering machine. I guess it is slightly better than the help desk that is in a foreign language like "Peggy" on the commercials. Actually to contact them, can you believe this, the instructions on their site say to send them a written note telling them the issue and a daytime phone number that they can reach you at. Don't they have email or some computer system that would be easy????

Signed,

Whirlpool Cabrio dryer is garbage
by: Anonymous

We purchased our Cabrio dryer in Pennsylvania a little over two years ago, and have already had one service call. Last week the heating element died, which basically leaves us with with an $800 paperweight! The Whirlpool Cabrio is complete junk, and I will never purchase another Whirlpool product again.
