Why are the final spin results poor on my Whirlpool AWO/D 43420 Washer?
Poor final spin results on your Whirlpool Washer can occur for several reasons. The washer has an imbalance detection and correction system. If a heavy item prevents spinning, add smaller articles of laundry and repeat the spin cycle. Excessive foam formation can also prevent spinning, so select and start the Rinse & Spin program and avoid excessive detergent dosing.

Why does my Whirlpool AWO/D 43420 vibrate during the spin cycle?
If your Whirlpool Washer vibrates during the spin cycle, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, ensure that the transport bolts have been removed before using the machine.

If it is not level, adjust the feet until it is stable.
What to do if my Whirlpool Washer shows 'Water tap closed'?
If your Whirlpool Washer displays 'Water tap closed', it means the appliance isn't getting enough water. Check the following: * Ensure the water tap is fully open and the water supply pressure is sufficient. * Check for any kinks in the water inlet hose. * Inspect the mesh filter of the water supply hose for blockages. * Make sure the water hose isn't frozen. * If your appliance has a water supply hose with a safety valve inspection window, and it's red, replace the hose.

How do I resolve the “Clean pump” error on my Whirlpool AWO/D 43420?
If your Whirlpool Washer displays the “Clean pump” error, it indicates that waste water is not being pumped out. Unplug the appliance and check for the following: * Kinks in the drain hose. * Blockages in the filter or pump. * The drain hose is frozen up. After resolving the issue, select and start the “Drain” program or push the “Reset” button for at least 3 seconds, then restart your desired program.
Why does the detergent dispenser in my Whirlpool AWO/D 43420 have residues?
If your Whirlpool Washer's detergent dispenser contains residues, it could be due to the separator in the main wash chamber not being correctly installed or adapted for the type of detergent you're using (powder or liquid). Insufficient water entering the machine can also cause this; the mesh filters of the water supply might be blocked.

Then plug it in again, turn the water tap on, and start the desired program. * “Overfoaming”: Select and start the “Rinse & Spin” programme, then restart the desired programme using less detergent.
