Is your Whirlpool washing machine showing an error code? Below you'll find all known error codes, what they mean, and what you can check yourself. All information has been researched and, where possible, verified with the manufacturer. Can't solve it yourself, or does the fault keep coming back? We often schedule a technician within 24 hours.
Problem with the water inlet (no or too little water)
Fully open the tap, check water is coming through, check inlet hose for kinks/blockage
Problem with the water drain (hose or filter blocked)
Check drain hose for kinks/blockage, open the filter in front of the drain pump and clean it (catch water in a bowl)
Problem heating the water or measuring the water level
Reset (unplug for 30 min). Descale (washing machine cleaner or citric acid, empty 90°C cycle). If it persists: sensor/heating element possibly faulty, technician needed
Problem with the motor (can't reach the required speed)
Check the drum isn't overloaded, check all transport bolts have been removed
Motor fault
Try a reset. On older machines: worn carbon brushes possible (can be replaced yourself). If the motor/control itself is faulty: technician needed
Problem with the door (doesn't close properly)
Check the door is fully closed, wipe the door lock with a damp cloth, remove some laundry if the drum is too full
Too much foam in the drum
Empty the drum, run a programme without detergent to remove the foam
