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
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
Whirlpool Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- Washer shaking or walking. Remove the shipping bolts, adjust the feet until all four sit firmly on the floor, and spread heavy and light items evenly in the drum. Source: Whirlpool - Washer is Vibrating, Walking or Moving
- Washer not draining. Confirm the lid or door is fully latched, then look for kinks or clogs in the drain hose and make sure the standpipe height is within range. Source: Whirlpool - Top Load Washer not Draining, not Spinning, and/or Leaving Wet Loads
