Why is my Whirlpool W10856086A Washer not maintaining the correct temperature when washing many loads?
Your hot water tank may not have enough hot water to keep up with the number of hot or warm washes. This is normal.
What to check if my Whirlpool W10856086A load is not rinsed properly?
Water faucet must be on. Inlet valve screen on washer may be clogged. Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
Why can't I select some settings on my Whirlpool Washer?
See the 'Program/Cycle Guide' for the available settings and options for each cycle.
Why is my Whirlpool W10856086A Washer not spinning and clothes are still wet?
If your Whirlpool Washer isn't spinning and clothes are wet, it could be due to a tightly packed or unbalanced load preventing correct spinning. Check the 'Cycle Guide' for recommended load sizes. Also, make sure you are using HE detergent and following the manufacturer's directions. Too much detergent can also cause this issue. To remove extra suds, select RINSE & SPIN without adding detergent.
What to do if my Whirlpool W10856086A Washer won't start?
If your Whirlpool Washer won't run or fill, ensure the water faucet is turned on and that the hose is properly attached with water flowing to the inlet valve. Also, check that the inlet valve screen isn't clogged and that there are no kinks in the inlet hose restricting water flow.
Why is my Whirlpool Washer not draining properly?
If your Whirlpool Washer isn't draining properly, check the drain hose installation. Ensure it's properly secured to the drainpipe or tub using the drain hose form, and avoid taping over the drain opening.
Why is my Whirlpool W10856086A vibrating so much during spinning?
If your Whirlpool Washer is vibrating during spinning, make sure you have removed the transport bolts. Refer to the 'Installation Instructions' for how to remove them.
Why is the door of my Whirlpool Washer locked after the cycle?
While this option is on, the load is tumbled periodically for up to 6 hours. The door remains locked during this time. To unlock the door, cancel the TumbleFresh™ option by touching the Power button.
What to do if my Whirlpool W10856086A Washer door will not unlock?
