Explore furtherI have a leak in my Whirlpool washing machine
During the manufacturing process, we ensure your washing machine is thoroughly tested so there is no leaks to internal componants after you have installed your appliance.
If you experience any leaking before or during your first use, it is most likely due to there being water still in the washing machine from the testing process.
Please also check the water supply connection (from both sides) as well as the drain hose itself.
If you need any further help, please call us on 0344 822 4224.

My washing machine has a light flashing on it
Newer washing machines come with indicator lights, these flash to indicate that there might be a possible fault. The most common faults presented are:
Pre wash light flashing
This shows that the washing machine is not filling correctly. Please check your fill hoses and ensure it is turned on correctly. We also suggest looking to see if there are any blockages, kinks or leaks in the fill hose pipe.
Wash light flashing
This indicates your programme dial has been moved or adjusted from its original position. To correct this issue, simply move the wash dial to its original position. By doing this it will restore the light to its original status.
Spin light flashing
Indicates that the Whirlpool washing machine has considered the wash load to be excessive or unbalanced. We would recommend removing the clothes, redistributing the load evenly and retry the spin cycle to resolve this.
End light flashing
Indicates that the Whirlpool washing machine has reached the end of a wash programme. If the wash, rinse and spin function lights all flash at the same time, this would indicate a possible blockage in your filter or waste / drain pipe.

Why are the results of my wash poor?
For the perfect wash results, you need to ensure you select the right wash programme, and also the correct amount of detergent.
Please also try not to overload your washing machine as this can produce poor results in your wash as the detergent will not be able to effectively dissolve. Try to rewash your clothes on the right programme, making sure that the right amount of detergent is used.
If the items of clothing are heavily soiled, then do not use the quick wash or ecomony wash option is not used.
You may also need to use a pre wash option beforehand to ensure you ge the best wash results.

There appears to be no electrical supply to my washing machine
Please check the socket that your appliance was plugged in in by using another piece of equipment, this will ensure that the issue does not lie with the socket rather than the appliance itself.
Your washing machine comes fitted with a 13 amp 3 pin plug and also the lead, so please make sure that the right rating of fuse is being used with this.
We do not recommend the use of the appliance with an extension lead.
Please also ensure that the start or on/off switch is in the correct position, and that the door is properly closed.
