How Whirlpool Washers Are Built

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 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 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

Getting Ready for the Repair

• Where the washer drains (standpipe or laundry sink)
• The brand, model and serial number from the label inside the lid, around the door opening or on the back of the cabinet
• What happens during the cycle (no start, no fill, no drain, no spin, leaks, noise)

What Allentown Owners Should Know

Lehigh County Authority (Allentown Division), which supplies Allentown, reports hardness of about 13 grains per gallon (hard). Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
