Why is my Whirlpool LSA1300 Washer vibrating or off-balance?
J
Julie TurnerAug 16, 2025
Your Whirlpool Washer might be vibrating or off-balance due to several reasons:
* The feet may not be in contact with the floor. Ensure both front and rear feet firmly contact the floor, and the washer is level.
* The load could be unbalanced. Load dry items in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Adding wet items or more water could also cause this. Redistribute the load without covering the agitator.

If your Whirlpool Washer is leaking water, check the following:
* Ensure the water inlet hose is tightly attached.
* Make sure all water inlet hose flat washers are properly seated.
* If the washer is not level, water may splash off the basket.
* Check all household plumbing for leaks, including the drain pipe, water pipes, and taps.
* Unbalanced loading can cause the basket to be out of alignment and cause water to splash off the tub.

Why does my Whirlpool Washer make noises?

Victoria BondAug 31, 2025
Your Whirlpool Washer may be making noises because:
* Objects are caught in the washer drain system or within the basket. Empty pockets before washing, as loose items like coins could fall between the basket and tub. It may be necessary to call for service to remove the items.
* Metal items on clothing, such as metal snaps, buckles, or zippers, are touching against the stainless steel basket. This is normal.

Why are there dry spots on my Whirlpool LSA1300 Washer load after the cycle?

Dry spots on your Whirlpool Washer load after the cycle are normal. 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.

Joel NelsonSep 6, 2025
To prevent fabric damage in your Whirlpool Washer, consider the following:
* Empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before washing to avoid snags and tears.
* Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.
* Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall and load with dry items only.
* Avoid tightly packing the load; load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Load with dry items only. Use a cycle designed for the fabrics being washed. Add only 1 or 2 garments after the washer is started.
* Always read and follow garment manufacturer’s care label instructions. Use appropriate programs based on fabric type and load size.

What to do if my Whirlpool LSA1300 won’t run or fill, or stops working?
M
Megan PaceSep 12, 2025
If your Whirlpool Washer won’t run or fill, or stops working, consider the following:
* Check that the water inlet hose is attached to the tap and has water flowing to the inlet valve. Ensure the water tap is on and the inlet valve filter isn't clogged, and that there are no kinks in the inlet hose.
* Ensure there is power to the outlet, do not use an extension cord, reset a tripped circuit breaker, and replace any blown fuses.
* Make sure the lid is closed, as the washer will pause during certain cycles. Avoid interrupting the program cycle. The washer spins the load before filling to determine load size.
* If the washer is not loaded properly, remove several items and rearrange the load evenly in the basket. Then, close the lid and press the Start/Pause button.

Why is the estimated time remaining incorrect on my Whirlpool LSA1300 Washer?
D
Daniel RogersSep 12, 2025
The estimated time remaining on your Whirlpool Washer may be incorrect because:
* The machine detects an unbalance and adds extra water for automatic correction, which lengthens the cycle time.
* Fill and drain time is not included in the 'Time remaining' to avoid errors due to field variations like low water pressure or minor variations in drain height.
