WASHER MAINTENANCE AND

CARE

Cleaning the Washer Location

Keep washer area clear and free from items that would block
airflow. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the
washer.

Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose
failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,
kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses:
Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent
marker.
Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer inlet
valves.
Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper
seal.

Washer Care

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer

Clean and Performing at Its Best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE
detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of
HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended
amount because that may increase the rate at which
detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer,
which, in turn, may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm or hot water washes sometimes (not exclusively
cold water washes), because they do a better job of
controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry
out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing
residue.
4. Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the
window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the door with
a damp cloth.

Cleaning Your Front-Loading Washer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine
cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer
Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,
once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs
sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may
otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Door Seal

1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from
the washer.
2. Inspect the gray-colored seal between the door opening and
the drum for stained areas, soil buildup, or lint. Pull back the
seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for
foreign objects or lint.
NOTE: Unless the Optimal Dispense Drawer is empty, it is not
recommended to use powdered detergent.

To access the drain pump of the Whirlpool WFW5605MW washing machine when it is located at the front of the front loader, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the washer before cleaning the drain pump filter. 2. Open the dispenser drawer by pulling on the handle at the base of the washer. This will reveal the drain pump filter. 3. Remove the drawer by releasing the tab on each side. Push down on the tab on the right side and up on the tab on the left side. 4. Place a broad, flat container beneath the drain pump filter to collect the drain water. Release the black hose from the hose clip, remove the plug, and drain the hose into the container. Empty the container. Repeat this procedure if necessary until all the water has drained. Make sure the black hose is completely dry, replace the plug, and secure the hose in the clip. 5. Lay a cotton cloth beneath the drain pump filter to absorb any remaining water. Then, turn the drain pump filter counterclockwise to remove it. 6. Remove any large clumps of lint by hand from the filter and dispose of them in a suitable waste container. Rinse the filter with water to remove any remaining residue. 7. Reinsert the drain pump filter by turning it clockwise. Make sure to turn it as far as it will go, with the filter handle remaining as close as possible to the vertical position. 8. Replace and close the dispenser drawer. Make sure to insert both rails simultaneously when replacing the drawer. You will hear a clicking sound that indicates the rails have engaged. To ensure proper placement of the drawer, pull it out fully. The drawer should be fully engaged and the rails locked in place. Make sure the drain hose is secured in the hose clip and tucked underneath the cutout.

To stop the washer from blinking and not stopping when turned on again, unplug the machine for a few minutes and then plug it back in. This can reset the washer and stop the blinking issue.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Whirlpool WFW5605MW below.

What temperature should I use for my laundry?

The washing label of your garment shows the recommended washing temperature.

Do I need to use an anti-scaling agent for my washing machine?

It is not necessary to use an anti-scaling agent. Scale deposits can be prevented by limiting washing at high temperatures and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

How do I prevent my washing machine from smelling?

Unpleasant odours can be avoided by occasionally washing at 60 degrees and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

Why is my Whirlpool WFW5605MW not turning on?

First, make sure the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning power outlet. If the machine still doesn't turn on, check the circuit breaker to ensure it hasn't tripped. Also, verify that the door is properly closed, as the machine won't start if the door is ajar.

How can I resolve excessive vibration and noise during the wash cycle?

It's important to ensure that the washing machine is properly leveled. Use a level tool to adjust the feet of the machine until it is balanced on all four corners. Uneven loads can also contribute to excessive vibrations, so make sure to distribute the clothes evenly inside the drum.

How do I clean the detergent dispenser drawer?

To clean the detergent dispenser, simply remove it from the machine by pulling it out until it stops and then lifting it out. Rinse the drawer under warm water to remove any residual detergent buildup and dry it thoroughly before reinserting it into the machine.

What to do if water is not draining properly?

Start by checking if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Ensure that the hose is positioned correctly and not obstructed in any way. Additionally, inspect the drain pump filter for any debris or obstructions, and clean if necessary. If the issue persists, it might be necessary to contact a professional technician.

How can I troubleshoot if the clothes are not spinning or draining properly?

First, confirm that you have selected the appropriate wash cycle and that the machine is not overloaded. If the clothes are still not spinning or draining properly, check the drain hose for any clogs or blocks. Ensure that the machine is not unbalanced, as this can affect the spin cycle. If the problem persists, it is advisable to contact Whirlpool customer support for further assistance.
