Some commercial Whirlpool washers are coin operated and most are energy efficient. You should have a professional technician install Whirlpool commercial washers to make sure they run with little difficulty. If issues arise with a Whirlpool commercial washer, it is possible to perform some basic troubleshooting before calling for assistance.
-
Check to make sure the washer is properly connected to a power supply if the washer does not work. Turn the "Cycle Control" knob slightly to the right and pull it out to start the washer.
-
Ensure the proper load setting is selected if the washer makes clicking sounds during use. This indicates a low water level.
-
Avoid using more than 1 cup of laundry detergent if the washer seems excessively sudsy or leaks. Do not overfill the washer with clothes, as this may cause the washer to stop.
-
Choose a warmer temperature cycle if the detergent does not seem to dissolve during the wash cycle.
-
Ensure the top of the drain hose is higher than the water level if the water continues to fill or drain even after the cycle has completed.
-
Balance the distribution of clothes in the washer before use if the washer moves or makes noise while in operation.
