Whirlpool washing machines are reliable and easy to use. They are multifunctional and easy to use. They have modes for delicate washing, washing wool, accelerated programs, washing sports shoes and many others.

The Whirlpool washing machine, the instructions for which are posted on our website, looks great in the interior, it is stylish and beautiful. This household appliance is very reliable and has child protection.

Whirlpool machine history

The Whirlpool machine started out in America, but is now produced in many other countries. For example, in Italy they produce mainly narrow format machines, in Slovakia – vertical ones. It began to be produced in Russia in 2009, combining American quality and Russian assembly.

When purchasing a washing machine, each buyer is provided with operating instructions in several languages. It offers information to be read in small fonts and this is not always convenient. Therefore, below is all the necessary information from the instructions for using the washing machine. You need to take time and study it in order to prevent possible breakdowns and extend the operating time of your purchase.

Difficulties and ways to overcome them

Difficulties that you may encounter when disassembling the Whirlpool washing machine:

in order not to confuse the bolts that secure different elements, they need to be laid out on sheets of paper and the corresponding signatures made; matchboxes are also suitable for this purpose;
when connecting the control board, there is a risk of mixing up the terminals, which can cause damage to household appliances - to prevent this from happening, the wire layout must be recorded on your phone;
some bolts may come out of the thread with difficulty; if they are rusty, they need to be treated with lubricant;
if after assembly any of the elements do not work, it is necessary to check the tightness of the contacts;
To avoid stripping the threads, do not apply excessive force; the bolts must be secured securely, but without force.

Modes of use

The Whirlpool washing machine has many necessary and convenient washing modes. For the convenience of Russian-speaking users, they are written in Russian, with degrees indicated next to them.

Cotton mode

From the name it is clear that cotton clothes are washed using this mode. Washing is carried out at a temperature of 90 to 95 ° C, but it can be changed if necessary. Removes even tough dried dirt. The spin is delicate. Washing lasts from 110 to 165 minutes.

Synthetics

In this mode you can wash different fabrics, temperature from 30 to 60 °C. Wash in 85-100 minutes.

Wool mode

Current mode for the cold season. Gently washes sensitive wool or cashmere items. The spin is weak. Time – 45 minutes.

Delicate

Its properties are similar to wool. This mode is used to wash delicate fabrics: lace, silk, etc. The washing temperature is low – only 30 °C. Clothes don't get damaged. Spin is minimal or absent. The process takes 45 minutes.

Pre-mode

Involves soaking. If you have to deal with very dirty clothes, you should wash them first in this mode, and then wash them mostly. Soaking lasts 20 minutes.

Daily

The mode is intended for any (except capricious) clothes that are worn every day. The process is carried out at 40 °C. From 85 to 120 minutes operating time.

Express mode

Quick wash, takes about 30 minutes.

Eco mode

The name speaks for itself. Washing is carried out on low heat, which saves light consumption. This does not affect the quality of the wash in any way.

The mode is selected on the control panel. The program and temperature are set using the rotary selector. Additional functions are activated when you press the keys. The operating time depends on the selected program.

Add powder

The quality of washing largely depends on the detergent. It may be a powder, liquid or gel substance. It is very important to correctly fill or pour the selected chemical into the equipment.

All Whirlpool washing machines have a powder receptacle or dispenser. It is located on the top left and is needed for dosing the powder. The dispenser is divided into three main compartments. It is necessary to remember the purpose of each compartment and not confuse them in the process:

the rightmost one is used for pre-soaking (when the laundry being loaded is in a very dirty state);
conditioner is poured into the middle one (with a removable plastic element), softening the fabric and giving it a pleasant aroma;
the left one is needed for powder (the volume of the product depends on the volume of things and is indicated on the package).

In order for water and detergent to flow in a timely manner and in sufficient quantity, the dispenser needs to be washed regularly. With poor care, the container very quickly becomes clogged, clogged and even covered with fungus. As a result, the laundry begins to smell unpleasant.

It’s easy to fix this problem: take out the powder receptacle, soak it in a solution of citric acid or soda, rinse with water and put it back in. But it would be correct not to bring the part to such a state. After the cycle is completed, leave the dispenser open to dry and immediately remove any remaining powder.

Other features

The Whirlpool washing machine has many additional functions that improve the quality of washing clothes and items made from any fabric.

“Drum balancing” is designed to distribute the laundry evenly.
"Foam Control" allows you to remove foam for better rinsing.
“Child lock” blocks the control panel of the washing machine.
"Antibacterial" involves steam treatment for deeper cleansing.
The “sixth sense” function determines the weight of clothes. This is necessary for automatic cycle intensity and duration.
"AquaStop" protects against leakage by closing the valves.
“Delayed start” involves setting a timer to start washing. For example, you can set the start to start at night to save energy. Or you can put it on in the morning, timing it so that the washing is finished by the time you get home.
“ZEN” here washing is carried out on a low spin, however, this does not affect the result of the process.
“Colors 15°” is recommended for colored fabrics, protects against dullness and fading. Operates at low temperature, which does not affect the quality of washing.

Other designations

There are symbols whose settings are allowed to be changed. These include manual or quick wash, cold water, economy wash, rinse and spin process.
