What Makes Whirlpool Washer Repairs Different
High-efficiency Whirlpool washers need HE detergent only, because excess suds can stop the pump from draining and the drum from spinning. Source: Whirlpool - HE Detergent use in a Washer
The drain hose must run to a standpipe between 30 and 96 inches tall, since a higher drain can let water flow back into the washer. Source: Whirlpool - Top Load Washer not Draining, not Spinning, and/or Leaving Wet Loads
Whirlpool Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- Washer smells. Run the Clean Washer cycle monthly, use only HE detergent, take clothes out promptly, and leave the door open between loads. Source: Whirlpool - Removing Odors or Smells - Front Load Washer
- Washer not draining. Confirm the lid or door is fully latched, then look for kinks or clogs in the drain hose and make sure the standpipe height is within range. Source: Whirlpool - Top Load Washer not Draining, not Spinning, and/or Leaving Wet Loads
