Whirlpool Washer Model Guides — Complete Models Guide

Fourteen Whirlpool washer guides, the largest washer hub here, split evenly by prefix. WFW5090, WFW5605, WFW5620, WFW6620, WFW8620, WFW9505 and WFW9620 are front-loaders. WTW4816, WTW4855, WTW4950, WTW5000, WTW7120, WTW7300 and WTW8000 are top-loaders. The two families fail so differently that establishing the prefix is a precondition for reading any advice on either of them.

The front-load pages work through the drain filter and hose, the pump, the door lock and the pressure system before they reach the motor control. The top-load pages give the shift actuator, the lid lock and the basket drive their own space, since those produce the classic complaint of a machine that fills and drains perfectly well and then refuses to agitate or spin. Each page names the confirming check, not the likely suspect.

Water and mains voltage, with no gas and no refrigerant. Unplug the machine rather than trusting a paused cycle, and drain it before opening any filter that sits below the water line. On a front-loader, a rumble that grows with spin speed or visible play at the drum rim raises the bearing and tub-seal decision, which is where that question belongs.
