How to fix a Whirlpool AWO/D 049 Washer that won't start and has no lights?
If your Whirlpool Washer doesn't start and no indicator lights are on, check the following: * Ensure the plug is correctly inserted into the socket. * Test the socket or fuse with another appliance to see if it functions correctly. * Make sure you've pressed the “On/Off” button, if your model has one.
Why is my Whirlpool AWO/D 049 not spinning clothes dry?
If the final spin results of your Whirlpool Washer are poor, consider these possibilities: * The washer's imbalance detection system may have reduced the spin speed or stopped it entirely to protect the machine, especially if you loaded individual heavy items. * Try adding smaller laundry items and repeating the spin cycle if a heavy item prevented spinning. * Excessive foam could prevent spinning, so select and start the “Rinse & Spin” program and avoid using too much detergent. * Check if the “Variable spin” button is set to a low spin speed or the “No spin” option is activated.
Why is my Whirlpool Washer shaking so much?
If your Whirlpool Washer vibrates during the spin cycle: * Ensure that the transport bolts have been removed before using the machine. * Make sure the appliance is level and standing firmly on all four feet. Refer to the “Installation Guide” for instructions.
Why won't my Whirlpool Washer start after I press start?
If your Whirlpool Washer does not start even after pressing “Start/Pause,” the door may not be properly closed.
Why does my Whirlpool AWO/D 049 have detergent left in the dispenser?
If the detergent dispenser of your Whirlpool Washer contains residues, it could be because: * The separator in the main wash chamber is not correctly installed or adapted for powder and liquid detergent. See “Detergents And Additives” for details. * Not enough water is entering the machine. The mesh filters of the water supply could be blocked. See “Care And Maintenance” for how to resolve this.
What to do if my Whirlpool Washer stops mid cycle?
If your Whirlpool Washer stops during the program and the “Start/Pause” light flashes, it could be due to several reasons: * The “Rinse hold” option may be activated. Terminate it by pressing “Start/Pause” or selecting and starting the “Drain” program. * If the program has been changed, reselect the desired program and press “Start/Pause.” * If the program was interrupted and the door was opened, close the door and restart the program by pressing “Start/Pause.” * The appliance’s safety system may have been activated (refer to the “Description of red indications” in your program chart). * The water tap might not be open, or the water inlet hose could be kinked. Check if the “Water tap closed” indication lights up.
