What to do if my Whirlpool WTW8900BC is not draining or spinning and loads are still wet?
If your Whirlpool washer isn't draining or spinning, and your clothes are still wet, consider these points: * Small items might be caught in the pump or between the basket and tub. Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items. * Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin for your garment. * A tightly packed or unbalanced washer may not spin correctly. Evenly arrange the wet load for balanced spinning, or select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN to remove excess water. * Also, check the drain hose installation. Ensure it doesn't extend more than 4.5" (114 mm) into the standpipe, is securely attached to the drainpipe or tub, and isn't taped over. Lower the drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor, and remove any clogs.
What does the Sd (Excess suds) error code mean on my Whirlpool WTW8900BC?

Use only HE detergent, measuring the amount based on load size and following the detergent manufacturer’s instructions. If the dial is flashing, reselect your desired cycle using a cold wash temperature, and press START/PAUSE without adding detergent.

Why is the dispenser not working correctly in my Whirlpool Washer?
If the dispenser in your Whirlpool washer is not working correctly, avoid overfilling it, as this causes immediate dispensing. Always select the Fabric Softener option to assure proper dispensing and load dispensers before starting a cycle. Note that small amounts of water may remain in the dispenser at the end of the cycle, which is normal. If you have low water pressure, you may notice residual powder in the dispenser; selecting a warmer wash temperature might help, depending on your load.
What causes fabric damage in my Whirlpool WTW8900BC?
Fabric damage in your Whirlpool washer can be caused by sharp items in pockets during the wash cycle; empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before washing. Strings and straps can tangle, so tie them before starting the wash. Mend any rips and broken threads in seams beforehand. Avoid tightly packing the load; instead, load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate to allow items to move freely during the wash. Use the cycle designed for the fabrics being washed, and add only one or two additional garments after the washer has started.
Why is the load tangling in my Whirlpool Washer?
Load tangling in your Whirlpool washer can occur if garments are not loaded as recommended. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate, avoiding loading garments directly over the center of the washplate. Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items and use the recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
