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
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
