Restarting a Whirlpool Washer After a Power Outage

When faced with a power outage, it is essential to follow the correct steps to restart your Whirlpool washer to avoid any potential damages. Here is a guide to help you through the process:

1. Ensure the power outage is over and electricity has been restored to your home.
2. Check if the washer is still plugged into the power outlet properly.
3. Confirm that the circuit breaker related to the washer has not tripped. If it has, reset it.
4. If your washer has a display panel, check if it is blank or if any error codes are shown.
5. If the panel is blank or displaying an error, unplug the washer from the power outlet for one minute, then plug it back in.
6. Once the washer is plugged back in, press the "Power" or "Start" button to turn it on.
7. If the power does not come on, try pressing and holding the "Power" or "Start" button for a few seconds.
8. If the washer still does not respond, try another power outlet in case the previous one is faulty.
9. If none of the above steps work, consult the user manual for specific troubleshooting steps or contact the Whirlpool customer support for assistance.

Following these steps should help you restart your Whirlpool washer after a power outage. Remember to prioritize your safety and double-check if anything seems unusual during the process.
