Why won't my Whirlpool 1CWTW4845EW Washer start?
- E
  Elizabeth HuangAug 18, 2025
  Your Whirlpool Washer might not start due to several reasons. Ensure the power cord is correctly plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet and that the outlet has power. Avoid using extension cords. Also, check the circuit breaker and replace any blown fuses. Remember, the lid must be closed for the washer to operate. The washer will pause during certain cycles, so do not interrupt it. If the washer is tightly packed, remove some items, rearrange the load evenly, add detergent, close the lid, and press START/STOP. Avoid adding more than 1 or 2 additional items after a cycle has started.

Why is my Whirlpool 1CWTW4845EW Washer not draining properly?
- M
  mwilliamsAug 21, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Washer isn't draining or spinning, several factors could be at play. Small items might be caught in the pump or between the basket and tub; always empty pockets and use garment bags for small items. An overloaded or unbalanced washer can also prevent proper spinning; arrange the wet load evenly and select the Drain & Spin cycle to remove excess water. Ensure the drain hose is correctly installed, using the drain hose form and securely attaching it to the drainpipe or tub without taping over the opening. Lower the drain hose if the end is higher than 48 inches (1.22 m) and remove any clogs. Too much detergent can also cause issues; always measure detergent according to the load size, and use Rinse & Spin without detergent to remove extra suds.

How to improve cleaning performance of my Whirlpool Washer?
- R
  Richard MooreAug 23, 2025
  To improve the cleaning performance of your Whirlpool Washer, avoid tightly packing the load. Add detergent, oxi products, and color-safe bleach to the bottom of the basket before adding clothes. Choose a load size (water level) that matches the load. Always measure detergent, following the manufacturer’s directions based on load size and soil level. For better cleaning, use a higher soil level cycle option and a warmer wash temperature. For tough cleaning, select the Heavy cycle. Refer to the “Cycle Guide” to select the best cycle for your load.

What to do if my Whirlpool 1CWTW4845EW load is not rinsed properly?
- W
  William JacksonAug 26, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Washer load isn't rinsing properly, check the water supply to ensure the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed and that both hoses are attached with water flowing to the inlet valve, with both hot and cold water faucets turned on. Ensure the inlet valve screens on the washer are not clogged and that there are no kinks in the inlet hose. Also, using too much detergent can prevent proper rinsing; measure detergent according to load size and soil level. Avoid tightly packing the load, and choose a load size (water level) that matches the load being washed.

Why are there dry spots on my clothes after a Whirlpool 1CWTW4845EW Washer cycle?
- C
  courtney90Aug 27, 2025
  The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots during the final spin. This is normal.

How to remove sand, pet hair, and lint from clothes in my Whirlpool Washer?
- J
  John GloverAug 30, 2025
  If you find sand, pet hair, or lint on your clothes after washing in your Whirlpool Washer, it may require additional rinsing because heavy residues of these items, along with detergent or bleach, can persist. Add an Extra Rinse (on some models) to the selected cycle.

Why is the lid locked light flashing on my Whirlpool 1CWTW4845EW Washer?
- M
  Michelle KnightSep 1, 2025
  The lid locked light might be flashing on your Whirlpool Washer because the lid is not completely closed. Ensure the lid is closed, as the washer will not start or fill with the lid open. If you stopped or paused a cycle using the Start/Stop button, the washer may still be spinning. The lid will not unlock until the basket has stopped spinning, which may take several minutes if washing large loads or heavy fabrics.

How to prevent clothes from tangling in my Whirlpool 1CWTW4845EW?
- S
  Stephanie WallaceSep 4, 2025
  To prevent clothes from tangling in your Whirlpool Washer: * Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed. Note that items will be wetter than if you use a higher speed spin. * Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. * Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed. Consult the “Cycle Guide” to match your load with the best cycle.

How to prevent fabric damage in my Whirlpool 1CWTW4845EW Washer?
- M
  Maria SilvaSep 6, 2025
  To prevent fabric damage in your Whirlpool Washer, empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before washing to avoid snags and tears. Tie all strings and straps before starting the wash load. Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate, avoiding loading directly over the center. Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load and wipe up any spills. Always read and follow garment manufacturer’s care label instructions, and refer to the “Cycle Guide” to match your load with the best cycle.

Why is my Whirlpool 1CWTW4845EW Washer using the wrong water temperature?
- R
  reneeobrienSep 8, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Washer is using incorrect wash or rinse temperatures, verify that the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Ensure both hoses are attached to both the washer and faucet, and that both hot and cold water are flowing to the inlet valve. Check that the inlet valve screens are not clogged and remove any kinks in the hoses.
