Whirlpool Washer Lines and Features
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
Some models sense load size before filling, tumbling or spinning the drum briefly, and then set the water volume to match, so a partly filled tub is often normal. Source: Whirlpool - Why won't my washing machine fill with water
Whirlpool Washer Symptoms and First Checks

- Washer leaking. Check that the inlet hoses have their rubber washers and snug connections at both ends, then make sure the drain hose is secure and the house drain is not backing up. Source: Whirlpool - Leaking Water Underneath - Washer
