Whirlpool Washer Won T Start Washing

My whirlpool washing machine won t start the washing cycle after the water filling cycle.

Whirlpool washer won t start washing.

The wash cycle won t start if the direct drive washer doesn t fill or the water level pressure switch doesn t detect that the washer filled. First ensure that power is getting to the electrical outlet. This video shows how to troubleshoot a top load direct drive washer that won t fill. If the power cord is not getting power replace it.

Use higher water level. The following steps should be used to reset your whirlpool washing machine. This type of washer doesn t lock the lid because it spins the basket at lower speeds than a vertical modular top load washer. If the line fuse blows the washer won t start.

Rinse wash and stop. However this is very rare. Make sure hose clamps are tight both inside and out of the washer. If the electrical outlet is receiving power but the washer won t start the power cord might be defective.

This will cause the machine to not do anything after it fills with water. To determine if the power cord is defective use a multimeter to test it for the cord for power. Washer will not spray rinse. Rotate your dial until you have the following three lights illuminated.

When you turn it back on it should be reset. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault use a multimeter to test it for continuity. Instead the direct drive top load washer stops if you lift the lid. Check hoses and replace.

Then turn off your washer and unplug it for ten seconds. If the lid switch in your washing machine goes bad the washer will think the lid is in the open position. In addition you should investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to blow. Use of low water level with high agitation.

Turn off the washer. Your top load washing machine has a safety feature built in that will not let it agitate or wash if the lid is open. If you don t resolve the underlying issue the new fuse will blow too.
