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

Common Whirlpool Washer Problems

• 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 not draining. Confirm the lid or door is fully latched, then look for kinks or clogs in the drain hose and make sure the standpipe height is within range. Source: Whirlpool - Top Load Washer not Draining, not Spinning, and/or Leaving Wet Loads
