How to Close a Cabrio Washer Cabinet

The housing of your Whirlpool Cabrio washing machine is referred to as a cabinet. It's this front housing that protects the internal components of the washing machine. If you are having problems with your machine, such as the drain hose isn't functioning properly, before repairs can be made, you need to diagnose the problem by removing the cabinet. After you assess the repair, replace and close the cabinet.
