When performing live voltage measurements, you must do the following:
Verify the controls are in the off position so that the appliance does not start when energized.
Allow enough space to perform the voltage measurements without obstructions.
Keep other people a safe distance away from the appliance to prevent potential injury.
Always use the proper testing equipment.
After voltage measurements, always disconnect power before servicing.
IMPORTANT:
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. Most people begin to feel an ESD discharge at
approximately 3000V. It takes as little as 10V to destroy, damage, or weaken the main control
assembly. The new main control assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished,
but a malfunction may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.
Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green ground connection point or
unpainted metal in the appliance
Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal
in the appliance.
Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a green ground
connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle electronic control assembly
by edges only.
When repackaging main control assembly in anti-static bag, observe above instructions.

Do you have a question about the Cabrio WTW8500DC and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Are there any other models comparable to this one WTW8500DC6, for replacement parts? I am trying to Replace the left and right lid hinge and cannot find any online matching that model number.
Comparable models to the Whirlpool WTW8500DC for replacement parts, specifically the left and right lid hinge, include models in the same series with similar structure and design. According to the model number breakdown:
- WTW8500DW is a comparable model, as it shares the same product series (WTW8500), capacity (8XXX = 5.3 Cu Ft), and year of introduction (D = 2014 or E = 2015).
- Other models beginning with WTW8500D (e.g., WTW8500DW0, WTW8500DC0) are likely compatible for lid hinge parts.
These models share the same cabinet and lid assembly, making their hinge parts interchangeable.

Error code 5 on the Whirlpool WTW8500DC washing machine relates to the shifter not moving into the spin position. To address this:
1. Refer to TEST #3b: Drive System – Motor on page 16.
2. Check the shifter mechanism to ensure it is functioning.
3. Reset the washer by unplugging it or disconnecting power, waiting a few minutes, then reconnecting power.
4. Run Service Diagnostics to verify the repair.
If the problem persists, further inspection of the motor and control system may be needed.
