How Whirlpool Washers Are Built
Both top and front load models will only run their spin when the lid or door switch registers the lid or door as fully closed and latched. Source: Whirlpool - Top Load Washer not Draining, not Spinning, and/or Leaving Wet Loads
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
