Know Your Whirlpool Washer
How Whirlpool Washers Are Built
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
Common Whirlpool Washer Problems
- Washer not filling. Make sure both hot and cold supply valves are fully open, the fill hoses are not kinked, and the inlet screens are not clogged with sediment. Source: Whirlpool - Why won't my washing machine fill with water
- Washer won't start. Check that the washer is plugged in and the breaker has not tripped, turn off the control lock if it is on, and reset the washer by cutting power for at least a minute. Source: Whirlpool - How to reset a washing machine
