There is a significant chance that the garment in the washer is overloading the drum of the machine, causing too much weight and strain on the device. This can result in a lop-sided load, leading to a decrease in efficiency and/or a malfunction of the machine. Adding more garments can help balance out this excess weight, but only if they are not wet or have similar weights to those already loaded.
The reset button on a Whirlpool washer machine is located in the back right hand corner of the control panel. It will be clearly marked with a picture of an electricity symbol with an arrow pointing upwards, and the word “reset” next to it. Pressing this button will cause all settings to revert to factory defaults. This includes wash type, temperature, spin speed, and other settings.
It seems that the washer is not recognizing that it is full of clothes. Since the clothes are not properly loaded, the sensor may be picking up an empty load which would result in this error message. To adjust, make sure to place clothes evenly in two piles for top-loading machines or three piles for front-loading models. For top-loading machines, make sure to place one pile on each side of the center support and one on top of it for balance.
A low detergent level may be due to overloading the washer or not using enough detergent. If this is an ongoing issue, it could be caused by a buildup of residue on the washer. Try switching to a different detergent, adding more detergent, or removing any residue with a rubber glove and vinegar solution.
The Whirlpool washer is indicating low detergent because the pump is not generating enough water pressure. This is most likely due to clogs in the hoses or near the pump. The most common cause of this is not using enough detergent or using an incorrect type of detergent. The washer will need to be serviced by a technician for this issue.
It may be that the load is too heavy for the machine. Opening and closing a “clean” cycle may help to release any excess water. If this does not work, it may be that the machine is out of balance from being overloaded. In this case, you should open and close a “rinse” cycle to relieve water pressure from the machine.
The “OB” on the Whirlpool washer refers to the “oil bath.” The oil bath is a tank of oil beneath the machine that circulates oil over all the parts to keep them lubricated. Without it, if you use too much laundry soap or fabric softener, you could get an “OB” at any point in time which would be an error code for an oil problem.
