What Makes Whirlpool Washer Repairs Different

Some front load models have an owner-accessible drain pump filter at the lower front of the cabinet, usually reached by removing a small access panel or drawer. Source: Whirlpool - Cleaning the Pump Filter - Front Load Washer
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
