What's the purpose of the reset button on a Whirlpool washer and how do you use it?

The reset button on a Whirlpool washer serves the purpose of restarting the washer's control board after a fault or error occurs. It is designed to restore the washer to its default settings and clear any glitches in the system.

To use the reset button, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the washer is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
2. Locate the reset button on the control panel of the washer.
3. Press and hold the reset button for approximately 3 seconds.
4. Release the button.
5. Plug the washer back in and turn it on.

The reset process should be complete, and the washer's control board will be reset to its initial settings. However, it's important to note that not all Whirlpool washer models have a reset button, so refer to the user manual or contact Whirlpool customer support for specific instructions related to your model.
