For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the appliance: If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.

If your Whirlpool WTW5057LW washing machine is not starting after closing the lid and turning on the power, it may be due to a detection issue. Here are the steps you can follow to troubleshoot the problem: 1. Make sure the lid is securely closed: Check if the lid is properly closed and latched. If it is not closed properly, the washer will not start. 2. Check the power supply: Ensure that the washing machine is properly connected to a power source and that the power is turned on. You can also try plugging the machine into a different outlet to rule out any power supply issues. 3. Check for error codes: Look for any error codes or indicators on the control panel. Error codes can provide valuable information about the specific issue with the washer. 4. Reset the machine: Try resetting the washing machine by unplugging it from the power source for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This can sometimes resolve minor issues and restore the machine's functionality. If following these steps does not resolve the issue, it is recommended to seek further assistance.

When I start my machine, it doesn’t fill or spin. It makes a click sound then try’s to drain and shuts off.

The possible issue when the Whirlpool WTW5057LW washing machine does not fill or spin but makes a clicking sound, attempts to drain, and then shuts off could be a problem with the water inlet valve or the drain system. Here are the steps to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check the water supply: Make sure that the water supply valves are fully open and that there is adequate water pressure. 2. Inspect the water inlet valve: The clicking sound could indicate a faulty water inlet valve. Check if the valve is clogged or malfunctioning. If necessary, replace the water inlet valve. 3. Check the drain system: Ensure that the drain hose is properly connected and not kinked or clogged. Verify that the drain hose is inserted into the standpipe or laundry tub at the correct height to prevent siphoning. If the drain system is not functioning properly, it can cause the machine to shut off. 4. Test the lid switch: The lid switch is a safety feature that prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. Make sure that the lid is securely closed and that the lid switch is functioning correctly. If the issue persists after following these steps, it is recommended to contact a professional technician for further assistance.

I am having issues with my 1 year 4 month old Whirlpool WTW5057LW top load washer. I am unable to read the fault codes associated with the machine. I understand the first lights flashing is F and the 2nd set is E but not sure what number the lights mean. The first pic would be the first lights given. Then after that, it flashes done. I also have another code that flashes soak, done, and lid lock and the 2nd flash is soak.

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.
