What Makes Whirlpool Washer Repairs Different
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
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
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- Washer won't start. Check that the washer is plugged in and the breaker has not tripped, turn off the control lock if it is on, and reset the washer by cutting power for at least a minute. Source: Whirlpool - How to reset a washing machine
- 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
