I am in need of the  schematic and repair manual for this appliance.

 

Thank you.

There is a plethora of Cabrio manuals in the downloads section. 

 

Here is the video to show you how to effectively find them.

Before going further with the manual search, will the WED6400SB1 also work for my WED6400SW1?

 

I found the cabrio manuals for the -SB1.  I did a search yesterday, but did not get a hit.  should have watched the Masters' video first.

 

If it will,  then I have the tech sheet and parts list I need.

This is where the work starts. What you have to do is go to a site where you can do some cross referencing. I use APP. Look up both model numbers and then pick a part that would be a main functioning and unique part. The main board would be a great part to check between the two models. If the main boards are the same then the manual should be compatible.

 

The APP cross reference tool comes in handy too!

Thank you Sir.  I will get the APP cross reference tool and do the XRF check.  My wife may be anxious for the dryer to be repaired, but I want to do my repairs, if possible,

No need to do any other cross reference in this case unless the part you are looking for is a cabinet/painted part.

 

If you're doing appliance repair as your trade it pays to learn what the different part of model numbers reference to.

 

In all Whirlpool built lines, the last number of a model number is a revision code and it is important - sometimes parts do change signifitely between revsions.  Usually the last one or two letters are just color codes - in your case "B"=Black, the info you found with "W"=White model, (the only things that will be different are painted panels and trim pieces, just different colors - no other difference).
