Common Whirlpool Washing Machine Problems We Repair

If your Whirlpool washer is experiencing issues, don’t panic just yet. Whether you need a repair or replacement part, we can fix most problems with Whirlpool washers. Check out some common Whirlpool washing machine problems, along with some possible causes:

• Makes strange noises: There may be an issue with the drive belt or drive pulley. The tub bearing, which helps the tub spin freely, could also be worn and must be replaced.
• Won’t start: First, ensure there are no power-related issues in your home. On some models, an unlocked lid signals to the washer that it can’t start the cycle. The line fuse, display board, or timer could also be the culprit for a washer that won’t start.
• Lid doesn't stay locked: The door’s boot seal or hinge may be to blame on front-load models. Other possible causes include a faulty door lock or latch.
• Gives an LD error code: An LD error code for Whirlpool washing machines means your washer needs to drain more quickly. The drain hose may be clogged or installed improperly.
• Emits a burning smell: Your washer’s drum may be stuck. If this happens while the rubber belt rotates, it can produce a burning smell. If the belt itself is damaged in any way, it will need to be replaced.
• Accumulates rust spots on the lid: DIY solutions propose cosmetic fixes for removing rust, but we don’t recommend this as it’s a temporary and ineffective fix. Your local Mr. Appliance service professional can help you with this issue.
• Stops in the middle of a washing cycle: Common causes include the lid-lock mechanism being faulty, the water inlet valve, or a control board issue.
• Stuck in sensing mode: If your machine is stuck in sensing mode, you could be dealing with a bad sensor, a control board issue, a clogged water inlet valve, a damaged shift actuator, or a faulty drive motor.
• Leaking water: Pinpoint the source of a leaking washer to determine the cause. You could be dealing with damaged pumps, loose hoses, defective seals, clogged components, faulty valves, worn door seals, or excess detergent. A service professional can help you determine the source and cause.

Types of Whirlpool Washing Machines We Repair

Mr Appliance works with all Whirlpool washing machine types and knows how to identify potential problems and find the right repair solutions for top loaders, front-loading washing machines, and space-saving stackable units.

• Top-load: This traditional style of washer may experience issues with the agitator, drain, belt, and water inlet valve. To maintain your top-load washer, regularly clean the agitator, unclog drains, inspect, and schedule your belt replacement when needed.
• Front-load: You may need to clean front-load machines more often to prevent mold growth. They may also suffer from door seal, bearing, or suspension spring issues.
• Stackable: These machines may face challenges due to weight distribution and plumbing complexity. To maintain a stackable washer, ensure proper weight distribution, check plumbing connections, and use anti-vibration pads.

FAQs About Whirlpool Washing Machine Service

With over 25 years of experience, Mr. Appliance has seen it all when it comes to appliance repair. As an expert in Whirlpool washing machine repair, trust Mr. Appliance to answer your most common questions.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Broken Whirlpool Washing Machine?

If your washer isn’t over 14 years old, we recommend repairing it — although some machines last longer than 14 years. Additionally, if the repair cost is more than a new machine it may not be worth it. If you’re unsure about washing machine repair, contact your local appliance professional for guidance.

What Does Whirlpool Warranty Cover?

Whirlpool provides a limited one-year warranty that covers labor and some replacement parts. However, some appliance models have more coverage than others. Refer to your appliance manual to check your model’s coverage beyond the limited warranty.

What Is the Life Expectancy of a Whirlpool Washing Machine?

Whirlpool washing machines typically last between 14 and 18 years with proper care and maintenance. This lifespan varies depending on usage, water quality, and the specific model.

How Do You Perform a Hard Reset on a Whirlpool Washing Machine?

To perform a hard reset on your Whirlpool washing machine, you have two options.

Option one is to follow this three-step process:

• Step 1: Make sure the machine isn’t running
• Step 2: Unplug it from the power outlet.
• Step 3: Wait at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in.

For option two, hold the “start” and “cancel” buttons at the same time for about five seconds.

For either option, run a short cycle afterward to see if the washer has been reset.

What Is the Most Common Problem With Whirlpool Washing Machines?

One of the most common problems with Whirlpool washing machines is water leaks. Water leaks can occur due to damaged hoses, faulty seals, or issues with the water inlet valve. A Mr. Appliance service professional can help determine the exact source of the leak.
