What Makes Whirlpool Washer Repairs Different
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
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
Common Whirlpool Washer Problems
- 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
- 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
