How to prevent load from tangling in Whirlpool W10280546B?
- T

  If your Whirlpool washer load is tangling, consult the “Using Your Washer” section. Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed, keeping in mind that items will be wetter than if you used a higher speed spin. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall and reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.

Why is my Whirlpool Washer load not rinsed properly?
- K
  kristinaaguilarAug 26, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Washer load is not rinsed, make sure the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve, and both hot and cold water faucets must be on. Check that the inlet valve screens on the washer are not clogged and remove any kinks in the inlet hose. Ensure you are not using regular detergent, or too much HE detergent, as suds can prevent the washer from operating correctly. Also, avoid tightly packing the washer, as it is less efficient at rinsing when full.

Why is the Lid Locked light flashing on my Whirlpool W10280546B?

  Matthew FordAug 31, 2025
  If the Lid Locked light is flashing on your Whirlpool Washer, close the lid, as the washer will not start or fill with the lid open. If a cycle was stopped or paused using the START/Pause/Unlock button, the washer may still be spinning. The lid will not unlock until the basket has stopped spinning, which may take several minutes if washing large loads or heavy fabrics.

Why are the wash or rinse temperatures incorrect in my Whirlpool W10280546B?

  To address incorrect or wrong wash or rinse temperatures in your Whirlpool Washer, ensure that the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Both hoses must be attached to both the washer and faucet, with hot and cold water flowing to the inlet valve. Check that the inlet valve screens are not clogged and remove any kinks in the hoses. Energy saving controlled wash temperatures are normal.

How to prevent fabric damage in Whirlpool W10280546B?
- V
  Victoria WilliamsSep 7, 2025
  To prevent fabric damage when using your Whirlpool washer, empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before washing to avoid snags and tears. Tie all strings and straps to prevent tangling. Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall, using only dry items. Use the cycle designed for the fabrics being washed, and add only 1 or 2 garments after the washer has started. Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load and wipe up any spills. Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics, so do not use more than recommended by the manufacturer. Avoid placing load items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer.

Why are there dry spots on load after cycle in my Whirlpool Washer?
- D
  Daniel ReyesSep 12, 2025
  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 during the final spin. This is normal.
