Whirlpool Washer Repair – CANTON, OH (WTW6200VW0)

A Whirlpool washer on Fohl Street Southwest in Canton was making a growling noise, wouldn’t spin, wouldn’t complete cycles, and wouldn’t shut off — the customer had to unplug the unit to stop it. We found the drain pump had failed and was causing all these symptoms.

The Problem

The customer reported their washer makes growling noise, will not spin, will not complete cycle, will not shut off — customer must unplug unit to stop it.

Diagnosis

The drain pump had failed completely. When a drain pump goes bad on these Whirlpool models, it can cause multiple issues including preventing the spin cycle, stopping mid-cycle, and creating unusual noises as the motor struggles with the failed component.

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Whirlpool model is a solid mid-range washer that typically runs 10-12 years with proper maintenance. A drain pump replacement is a worthwhile repair on these units, especially if the rest of the machine is functioning well.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers

• Check pockets for coins, tissues, and small items that can damage the drain pump
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Whirlpool’s Affresh tablets to prevent buildup
• Leave the lid open after use to allow moisture to evaporate and prevent mold
