How Whirlpool Washers Are Built
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 smells. Run the Clean Washer cycle monthly, use only HE detergent, take clothes out promptly, and leave the door open between loads. Source: Whirlpool - Removing Odors or Smells - Front Load Washer
- 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
What Whirlpool Washer Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| Sud / Sd | Too many suds were detected, usually from non-HE or too much detergent. Source: Whirlpool - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |
| F5 E2 | The door or lid lock cannot engage, often because something is blocking the latch area. Source: Whirlpool - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |
| F8 E1 / Lo FL | Low water flow into the washer; check the supply faucets, fill hoses and any anti-flood devices. Source: Whirlpool - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |
