What a Whirlpool Washer Technician Deals With
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
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
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- 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 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
