Check that the top of the drain is at least 30" (76.2 cm) high (as measured from the floor.) If the drain is below 30" (76.2 cm), the water will start to flow out of the machine due to gravity. The flow of water can create suction (siphon) and the water will continue to drain out of the washer.
The issue you're experiencing means that the washer didn't fill up with water quick enough on its last load which can be caused by not having the lid open, too many clothes in the tub, or low water pressure. The good news is that it's simple to reset this issue.
Make sure the drain hose is not clogged, and is hung over the drain hose hook. Fill the spin basket halfway with water, and try spinning again. Lift the end of the drain hose to prevent water from draining. Fill the spin basket halfway with water, and then run spinning after releasing the drain hose.
Check the water inlet valve
Water flows into your washing machine during the wash and rinse cycles through the water inlet valve. If your washing machine won't stop filling, the valve may be damaged or stuck open.
No washer movement: Washing machines spin and jerk quickly to loosen dirt on fabrics. No or little movement during washing cycles often means you need a new drain pump.
Usually, if the drain pump isn't working properly, you'll hear an unusual noise or notice leaking from the washing machine when it is running. If your pump is malfunctioning, you'll need to replace it yourself or call a professional to replace it for you.
Often the nozzle doesn't immediately drain all of the remaining water, so after some time (even a few hours later), the water tension holding in the water breaks and the last amount of water is released or spurted from the fill nozzle.
Examine the Water Inlet Valve: The machine will continue filling if the valve that lets water into your washer is stuck open. This may require replacement or repair by a professional. Inspect the Pressure Chamber: Washers often use a pressure chamber and hose to control the water level.
If your washing machine drains out while it is filling, the problem is likely to be caused by the water inlet valve. Unplug your washer and shut off the water supply. Make sure the screens which are inserted into the valve are not dirty. Clean them if they are.
Washing machines that leak from the bottom may be off-balance or have damaged tub seals, faulty water line connections, broken water level switches, malfunctioning tub cover gaskets, or damaged seals between the drain hose and water pump.
Washing machines overflow for a variety of reasons—the leading culprit, though, is a clog in the drain pipe. Lint and other debris come off of clothing during the wash cycle and are drained from the unit alongside the dirty water, potentially leading to clogs that can wreak havoc on your drain pipe.
A gap between the drain hose and the drain pipe must exist to allow airflow. The air gap will break the suction. This will prevent water from continuously being sucked out of the machine (siphoning) as it fills.
Valves at the points where the hot and cold water hoses enter your washing machine control the flow of water into the machine. If these valves become stuck open, or if their seals become lost or compromised, the water will continue to flow into the machine.
Drainage Issues: Clogs or kinks in the drainage system can impede the flow of water, resulting in wet garments post-cycle. Regular inspections can help. Incorrect Cycle Setting: Choosing the wrong washing cycle, especially a delicate one, may not provide the necessary spin to remove water efficiently.
Drain Hoses and Water Inlet Valve Issues
If the drain hoses are loose or worn out, whether a cold water hose or a hot water hose, water can easily leak from the washer when it's not in use. The same goes for the water inlet valve, which controls the amount of water that enters your washing machine.
A start button on your washer's control panel not working despite the rest of the lights coming on is the most common Whirlpool washer issue you will encounter. Taking off the control panel to try and find the cause will let you see if the solution can be DIYed, or a professional needs to be called.
A common issue affecting both front-load and top-load models is leakage from the door seal. This problem may arise if the seal is dirty, has loose items caught in it, or is torn or damaged. Addressing this issue is essential to maintain the efficiency of your washer and prevent water wastage.
A Whirlpool washer is typically a reliable machine. However, like any other appliance, it is subject to breaking down. One of the common error codes that users may encounter is E1/F9. This error code appears when the washer's control board detects that the washer cannot drain.
