My Whirlpool Cabrio washer was just moved in. It is an older one and works until it gets near the end… an oL code comes up and the clothes aren’t completely spun out…. I need suggestions…. Wondering if it can be related to the computer due to the move.
Is this a good question?

@jannelleca28636 the OL means Overload or an unbalanced load/mechanical issue. Bottom line is that the motor cannot turn the drum. The common things to check are that there may be too many clothes, or heavy wet items. Sometimes decreasing the load will resolve that.
Now here is the not so easily fixed and diagnosed cause for this. A faulty motor, cracked rotor, or even a faulty RPS (Rotor Position Sensor) can give the OL code as well. Try the easy stuff first. After that you will have to take a look at the more involved possibilities. Let us know what you find our and let us know what exact model your Cabrio is.

That means too many clothes or too much weight in the washer
