I recently got a broken down VMW cabrio and got it going-a bad capacitor on control board was cause-machine would just buzz and turn off ,displaying a trouble code...on my cabrio,early 2010 MFG,pump is vertical axis-looks like might be horizontal on your slightly later machine.Not real sure of wash effectiveness with factory water levels yet(actually fills quite high for "bulky"loads)but it does spin really nice-seems to balance well and gets up to speed fast.Washed a few loads in the cabrio,then rotated it out of lineup in favor of a 1982 speed queen-that washer now fully tested so might rotate the cabrio back into service for further play :)
