Whirlpool Washer Lines and Features
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
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 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
