If your Whirlpool Washer won’t run or fill, or stops working, ensure both hoses are attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve. Also, check that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on. Make sure that the inlet valve screens are not clogged, and inspect the inlet hoses for any kinks that may be restricting water flow.
Why is my Whirlpool Washer not draining/spinning and loads are still wet?
If your Whirlpool washer is not draining or spinning and loads are still wet, consider the following: * Ensure small items haven't been caught in the pump by emptying pockets and using garment bags. * Check the drain hose installation, ensuring it doesn't extend into the standpipe more than 4.5" (114 mm). * Lower the drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor and remove any clogs from the drain hose. * Make sure the drain hose fits loosely but securely in the standpipe, without being sealed with tape to allow for an air gap. * Use cycles with higher spin speeds and avoid tightly packing or unbalancing the load.
What to do if 'Sd' (Excess suds) appears in my Whirlpool W10484486A display?
If 'Sd' (Excess suds) appears on your Whirlpool Washer display, allow the machine to continue its suds reduction routine. Ensure you are only using HE detergent, measuring the correct amount based on load size and following the detergent manufacturer’s instructions. Also, make sure the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed, both hoses are attached with water flowing to the inlet valve, and both hot and cold water faucets are on. Check the inlet valve screens for clogs and remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
How to stop my Whirlpool Washer from vibrating, rocking, or “walking”?
If your Whirlpool washer is vibrating, rocking, or “walking”, make sure the front and rear feet are in firm contact with the floor and the washer is level. The jam nuts must be tight against the bottom of the cabinet. If the flooring is uneven, placing a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under the washer can help reduce sound. Avoid tightly packing the load or washing single items; balance single items with a few extra items. Use medium or low-speed spin for oversized, non-absorbent items and the Delicate cycle for items like poly-filled jackets.
Why is water or suds leaking from the door or rear of my Whirlpool W10484486A Washer?
If you notice water or suds leaking from the door or rear of your Whirlpool washer, it may be due to using non-HE detergent or using too much HE detergent. Only use HE detergent, measuring it carefully and following the manufacturer's directions based on your load requirements. Water can also drip off the inside of the door when opened after a cycle has started. Periodically clean the underside of the glass window to prevent potential leaks.

What to do if F9E1 (drain pump system error) appears in Whirlpool Washer display?
If F9E1 (drain pump system error) appears on the display of your Whirlpool washer, check the plumbing to ensure the drain hose is correctly installed and doesn't extend into the standpipe farther than 4.5" (114 mm). Make sure the drain hose is not kinked, pinched, or blocked, and remove any clogs. Use the drain hose form and securely attach it to the drainpipe or tub. If the end of the drain hose is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor, lower it.
Why are my whites gray and colors dingy after washing in my Whirlpool W10484486A Washer?
If you're experiencing gray whites or dingy colors after washing in your Whirlpool washer, it may be due to improper sorting of loads. Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and colors, so sort dark clothes from whites and lights. Also, ensure wash temperatures are adequate; use hot or warm washes if safe for the load and confirm your hot water system provides sufficient hot water. Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water. Avoid overfilling the dispenser, and clean the dispenser compartments regularly.
Why is my Whirlpool W10484486A Washer not cleaning or removing stains?
If your Whirlpool washer is not cleaning or removing stains effectively, ensure the washer is loaded loosely to allow items to move freely.
