I just purchased the whirlpool 2 in 1 agitator. I started the washer on bulky cycle and came back a couple hours later and it was doing nothing with water sitting in the drum. It showed done on the screen and sensor was flashing. I tried doing drain and spin and that did not work. I have tried unplugging it and that did not work. What do I need to do to get the water out?

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 WTW5057LW 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 the washing machine not starting?

Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet and try pressing the "Start" button again. Also, ensure that the lid is closed properly, as the machine will not start if the lid is open.

Why is the water not filling the machine?

Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Additionally, inspect the water inlet hoses for any kinks or clogs that might be blocking water flow. It's recommended to use a cold water supply for optimal performance.

How do I adjust the water level for different load sizes?

To adjust the water level, simply rotate the "Load Size" selector knob to the desired setting. Larger load sizes may require higher water levels, while smaller loads can be washed with lower water levels. Remember to distribute the clothes evenly in the drum.

Why is the washing machine not draining properly?

First, ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. If the drain hose is clear, check if the drain pump filter is clogged with lint or debris. Clean the filter if necessary. Additionally, verify that the drain hose is installed correctly at the appropriate height, as incorrect positioning may impact draining.

How do I resolve excessive vibration during the spin cycle?

Check if the washer is level by adjusting the feet underneath. Make sure all four feet are in firm contact with the floor. Uneven load distribution can also cause excessive vibration, so try redistributing clothes inside the drum. Finally, avoid overloading the machine, as this can disrupt balance and result in increased vibration.
