How Whirlpool Washers Are Built
Some front load models have an owner-accessible drain pump filter at the lower front of the cabinet, usually reached by removing a small access panel or drawer. Source: Whirlpool - Cleaning the Pump Filter - Front Load Washer
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
