How to Perform a Factory Reset on Whirlpool Washer

If you are experiencing technical issues with your Whirlpool washer, performing a factory reset can often help to resolve them. Follow the steps below to perform a factory reset:

1. Turn off the washer by unplugging it or pressing the power button.
2. Wait for approximately one minute to allow the washer to completely power down.
3. Plug the washer back in or press the power button to turn it on again.
4. Within a few seconds, press and hold the "Reset" button on the control panel.
5. Continue holding the "Reset" button for about 5 seconds, until the washer's display or indicator lights begin to flash.
6. Release the "Reset" button.
7. Wait for the washer to complete the factory reset process, which may take a couple of minutes.
8. Once the reset is complete, the washer should power on and display its default settings.

Note: Performing a factory reset will revert all settings to their default values and erase any stored user preferences.

If the factory reset does not resolve your technical issues, it is recommended to contact Whirlpool customer support or schedule a service appointment.
