How to fix a Whirlpool Washer that won't start?
- J
  Jennifer Gardner DDSAug 15, 2025
  If your Whirlpool washer isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the power cord is correctly plugged into a grounded, three-prong outlet and that you're not using an extension cord. Check that the outlet has power and reset any tripped circuit breakers or replace blown fuses. Note: If problems persist, it's best to contact an electrician. Also, the lid must be closed for the washer to run, and the washer pauses during certain cycles, so avoid interrupting it. Overpacking can also be an issue; remove some items, rearrange the load evenly, add detergent, close the lid, and press START/STOP. Avoid adding more than one or two items after the cycle begins to prevent tight packing or imbalance.

How to improve cleaning performance of my Whirlpool 2DWTW4705EW1?

  Brandon HaleyAug 21, 2025
  To get the best cleaning results from 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. Ensure you're using a load size (water level) that matches the load being washed. Using too much detergent can also hinder cleaning, so measure it carefully and follow the manufacturer’s directions based on load size and soil level. Select a higher soil level cycle option and a warmer wash temperature for better cleaning. For tough cleaning, consider using the Jeans cycle.

What to do if lid locked light is flashing on my Whirlpool 2DWTW4705EW1 Washer?
- B
  Brandon HernandezAug 26, 2025
  If the lid locked light is flashing on your Whirlpool washer, ensure the lid is fully closed, as the washer won't start or fill with the lid open. If a cycle was stopped or paused 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 for large loads or heavy fabrics.

What to do if my Whirlpool Washer load is not rinsing properly?
- J
  Jessica WilkersonAug 28, 2025
  If your Whirlpool washer isn't rinsing correctly, start by checking the water supply. Ensure that the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed, both hoses are attached, and water is flowing to the inlet valve. Both hot and cold water faucets must be on. Also, inspect the inlet valve screens on the washer for clogs and remove any kinks in the inlet hose. Using too much detergent can also prevent proper rinsing, so always measure detergent and follow directions based on load size and soil level. Avoid tightly packing the load, as this reduces rinsing efficiency. Choose a load size (water level) that matches the load being washed.

  If your Whirlpool washer is using the wrong water temperature, begin by verifying the water supply. Make sure the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Both hoses must be attached to both the washer and the faucet, ensuring 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.

Why are my clothes tangling in my Whirlpool Washer?
- S
  Suzanne GarciaSep 4, 2025
  Clothes can tangle in your Whirlpool washer due to how the load is loaded. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items and using the recommended cycle for the garments being washed. You may select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed; however, items will be wetter than those using a higher speed spin.
