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 WTW6157PW 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.

How can I troubleshoot if the Whirlpool WTW6157PW washing machine is not starting?

To troubleshoot if the Whirlpool WTW6157PW washing machine is not starting, follow these steps: 1. Check the power supply: Ensure that the washing machine is properly plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not use an adapter or extension cord. 2. Verify the levelness of the washer: Place a level on the top edges of the washer and check for levelness. Use the side seams and the lid as a guide. Rock the washer back and forth to ensure all four feet make solid contact with the floor. 3. Adjust the leveling feet: If the washer is not level, use adjustable pliers to turn the plastic leveling foot counterclockwise to lower the washer or clockwise to raise it. Recheck the levelness and repeat as needed. 4. Clear water lines: Run water through the hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to prevent clogs. The water should run until clear. Make note of which hose is connected to hot water for reattachment. 5. Connect the inlet hoses: Attach the hot water hose to the red hot water inlet valve and the cold water hose to the blue cold water inlet valve. Hand-tighten the couplings and use pliers to tighten them an additional two-thirds turn. 6. Check for leaks: Turn on the water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount of water may enter the washer, but it will drain later. 7. Secure the drain hose: Use a cable tie to secure the drain hose to a laundry tub leg, drain standpipe, or inlet hoses for a wall standpipe. Ensure that the drain hose is properly installed and secured to avoid leaks. By following these troubleshooting steps, you can identify and resolve the issue of the Whirlpool WTW6157PW washing machine not starting.

What should I do if the Whirlpool WTW6157PW washing machine is not dispensing detergent properly?

If the Whirlpool WTW6157PW washing machine is not dispensing detergent properly, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue: 1. Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergents: Make sure you are using the correct type of detergent for your washing machine. Look for detergents labeled as "HE" or "High Efficiency" on the packaging. These detergents are specifically designed for low-water washing machines like the Whirlpool WTW6157PW. 2. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions: Different HE detergents may have different formulations and recommended usage amounts. Always follow the instructions provided by the detergent manufacturer to determine the correct amount of detergent to use. Avoid using more detergent than the recommended amount, as this can lead to excessive sudsing and reduced rinsing performance. 3. Check the detergent dispenser: Inspect the detergent dispenser for any blockages or residue buildup. Clean the dispenser using a damp cloth or an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe. Make sure not to use abrasive products that could damage the washer's finish. 4. Run a cleaning cycle: Periodically run a "Clean Washer" cycle using affresh® Washer Cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach. This cycle helps remove any accumulated detergent and soil residue from the washer's interior. Follow the instructions in the manual or online Cycle Guide for the optimal cleaning cycle for your specific model. By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of the Whirlpool WTW6157PW washing machine not dispensing detergent properly.

How can I troubleshoot if the Whirlpool WTW6157PW washing machine is making unusual noises during operation?

Use pliers to tighten the couplings. 3. Check for leaks: Turn on the water faucets and check for any leaks. A small amount of water may enter the washer, but it will drain later. 4. Secure the drain hose: Use a cable tie to secure the drain hose to a laundry tub leg, drain standpipe, or inlet hoses for a wall standpipe. 5.
