Why is my Whirlpool WTW5000DW1 Washer not draining or spinning properly?
- W
  whitneysandersAug 16, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Washer isn't draining or spinning, leaving loads wet, it could be due to several reasons. Small items might be caught in the pump or between the basket and tub; to prevent this, empty pockets and use garment bags for small items. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles with high spin speeds. Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may also prevent proper spinning. Check the drain hose installation and ensure you're using only HE detergent, as too much detergent can create suds that slow or stop draining.

Why is the Lid Locked light flashing on my Whirlpool Washer?
- M
  Miss Laurie GrantSep 12, 2025
  If the Lid Locked light is flashing on your Whirlpool Washer, it could be because the lid is not completely closed; ensure the lid is closed properly. Alternatively, the washer may still be spinning, especially if a cycle was stopped or paused using the START/Pause button.

How to improve cleaning performance of my Whirlpool WTW5000DW1 Washer?
- E
  Elaine HartAug 22, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Washer isn't cleaning or removing stains effectively, consider that the washer adjusts water levels based on load size. Ensure you're not overloading the washer, as tightly packed loads reduce cleaning efficiency. Add detergent, Oxi products, and color-safe bleach to the bottom of the basket before adding clothes, and wash similar colors together to prevent dye transfer. Use HE detergent to avoid excessive suds. Select a higher soil level cycle and a warmer wash temperature for better cleaning. Also, make sure you are using the dispenser to avoid chlorine bleach.

What to do if my Whirlpool Washer is causing fabric damage?
- D
  David GarciaAug 26, 2025
  If you notice fabric damage after washing in your Whirlpool Washer, it could be due to several factors. Ensure you empty pockets of sharp items, zip zippers, and fasten hooks before washing to prevent snags. Tie all strings and straps to avoid tangling. Mend any rips in seams beforehand. Load items loosely and evenly around the washplate, avoiding tightly packed loads. Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load. Always follow the garment care instructions.

How to get rid of odors in my Whirlpool WTW5000DW1 Washer?

  Linda LuceroSep 3, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Washer has odors, it may be due to infrequent cleaning or using the wrong detergent. Run the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle every 30 washes. Also, ensure you are using only HE detergent and measuring it correctly.

Why are there dry spots on my load after Whirlpool WTW5000DW1 Washer cycle?
- M
  morgan07Sep 6, 2025
  If you're finding dry spots on your load after a cycle in your Whirlpool Washer, it's because the high spin speeds, combined with airflow during the final spin, can cause items near the top to develop these spots.

Why are the wash/rinse temperatures wrong on my Whirlpool WTW5000DW1?
- A
  Ashley PerezSep 9, 2025
  If you're experiencing incorrect wash or rinse temperatures with your Whirlpool Washer, first check that the hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Ensure both hoses are attached to both the washer and faucet, and that hot and cold water are flowing to the inlet valve. Also, check that the inlet valve screens are not clogged and that there are no kinks in the hoses.
