Then, make sure the ON/OFF button is pressed, the water tap is open, the door is completely closed (child safety), and a program has been correctly selected and started.

    Why are the spin results poor on my Whirlpool AWM 5500?
    • M
      Mrs. Amy GomezAug 14, 2025
      Poor final spin results on your Whirlpool Washer can occur due to several reasons. If laundry is too wet, try adding smaller items to balance the load and repeat the spin cycle. Also, excessive foam can prevent spinning, so ensure you're using the correct amount of detergent. The program might be interrupted due to no water supply or a blocked pump. If the pump is blocked, switch off the appliance and clean the pump, then restart the appliance.

    What does Water Stop fault mean on my Whirlpool AWM 5500?

      A Water Stop fault on your Whirlpool Washer could be due to too much foam or a leakage in the inlet hose or appliance. If there's too much foam, switch off the appliance, unplug it, and close the water tap. If there's a leakage, carefully tilt the appliance forward to drain the water, then reconnect it, open the tap, reselect the program, and press 'On/Off'.

    Why is there detergent left in my Whirlpool AWM 5500 Washer dispenser?
    • M
      Mrs. Jackie Holloway MDAug 27, 2025
      Residue in the dispenser of your Whirlpool Washer after a wash can be due to the siphon not being correctly installed or needing cleaning. Also, insufficient water supply could be the cause. Check if the mesh filters between the inlet hose and the tap are clogged and clean the filter two or three times a year.
