How Whirlpool Washers Are Built

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

Both top and front load models will only run their spin when the lid or door switch registers the lid or door as fully closed and latched. 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 shaking or walking. Remove the shipping bolts, adjust the feet until all four sit firmly on the floor, and spread heavy and light items evenly in the drum. Source: Whirlpool - Washer is Vibrating, Walking or Moving
