Whirlpool Washer Lines and Features
What a Whirlpool Washer Technician Deals With
Some front load models have an owner-accessible drain pump filter at the lower front of the cabinet, usually reached by removing a small access panel or drawer. Source: Whirlpool - Cleaning the Pump Filter - Front Load 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
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
