Whirlpool Washer Lines and Features
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
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
Common Whirlpool Washer Problems
- 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
- Washer leaking. Check that the inlet hoses have their rubber washers and snug connections at both ends, then make sure the drain hose is secure and the house drain is not backing up. Source: Whirlpool - Leaking Water Underneath - Washer
