A Whirlpool washer at 617 Greenfield Ave SW in Canton, OH wasn’t draining properly. The homeowner called Louisville Appliance Repair when their front-loading washer stopped completing wash cycles. Our diagnosis revealed the drain filter was completely clogged with debris.
The Problem
The customer reported their FL washer was not draining. The machine would fill and agitate but wouldn’t pump out the water at the end of the cycle, leaving clothes soaking wet.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found a sock and miscellaneous debris had completely blocked the drain filter. Additionally, the inlet hose was partially disconnected, causing water to leak down the front of the machine during fill cycles.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Cleaned the filter of sock and miscellaneous debris, reinstalled the partially disconnected inlet hose
- Result: Washer is draining properly and no longer leaking
Is It Worth Repairing?
This Whirlpool WFW9400SW03 is a quality front-loading washer that typically provides years of reliable service when properly maintained. Since this repair only required cleaning and reconnection with no parts replacement, it was absolutely worth fixing. These machines are built to last when the drain filter is kept clear.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers
- Check and clean the drain filter monthly — it’s located behind the small door at the bottom front of front-loading models
- Inspect hose connections quarterly to ensure they remain tight and properly seated
- Leave the door and dispenser drawer open after use to prevent mold and mildew buildup in Whirlpool front-loaders
