Quick help
| What you see | Safe next step | When to request service |
|---|---|---|
| Unknown code or warning | Copy the characters exactly, note whether they flash, and check the complete model and serial label. Match the display using Whirlpool’s model-specific literature, not only the general table below. | Request help if the message persists or the appliance is not operating normally. |
| Washer does not start | Check that the door is closed and no garment is caught in the opening; verify the selected cycle on the control panel. | The control remains unresponsive or the door will not latch normally. |
| Wash finishes with water inside | Visually inspect the accessible drain hose for bends and use the matching manual before attempting drain-filter cleaning. | The machine cannot drain, or the problem returns. |
