Whirlpool washing machines are often celebrated for their practicality and efficiency. And with customizations like the 2-in-1 Removable Agitator, it’s evident that Whirlpool cares about consumers’ biggest laundry day woes.
But even the most foolproof machines can malfunction. Mr. Appliance® offers Whirlpool washing machine repair services to fit your needs. If your Whirlpool appliance starts to break down in any way, we have you covered — even if your warranty doesn’t.
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.
