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
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
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- Washer not spinning. Redistribute an unbalanced or overloaded load, cut back on detergent to avoid excess suds, and remember delicate cycles spin slowly. Source: Whirlpool - Front Load Washer is not Draining, not Spinning, or Leaving Wet Loads
- 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
