About this model
Model overview
The WTW5057LW is described in our library as a 27″ top load 2-in-1 removable agitator washer. The removable agitator is the series detail; we make no further claims about its design. When a top loader of this type has trouble, the agitator and its seating are worth a look along with the usual lid, drain and supply checks. For the general approach see Whirlpool washer repair.
When washing seems weak
If clothes come out dirty or tangled, the cause may be as simple as an overstuffed tub or too little water. It may also be something inside, such as the agitator not seated, a belt or coupling slipping, or the motor losing grip. A washer that hums but does not turn the tub or agitator should be turned off. If you find an item stuck under or around the agitator, such as a sock or wire from a bra, note it down and tell us.
Drain and spin trouble
Water left in the tub after the cycle is covered in Whirlpool washer won’t drain, and a tub that fills but will not spin appears in Whirlpool washer not spinning. Entries in our library worth knowing are F9E2, listed as a blocked drain pump, and F8E1, where the washer is not detecting the right amount of incoming water.
Where it lives
- Many Bay Area laundry closets have a drain standpipe set at an awkward height; a hose that is too long or pushed down can cause drain faults.
- Wooden floors in older flats flex under a full tub and can worsen vibration.
- Shared laundry rooms mean several people with several habits, so look for foreign objects in the tub.
Safe checks
- Remove any visible item from the tub with the washer off.
- Do not pull on the agitator with force.
- Check hoses and valves behind the machine.
- Run a small test load and watch for the first fault.
Never put a hand in the tub while the washer is running or reach through a panel to free something.

Frequently asked questions
It adds a part to inspect, but the diagnosis still starts with the symptom and the usual lid, drain and supply checks.
Turn the washer off and unplug it if the floor is dry, then remove only what you can lift out by hand. Do not force the agitator.
The drain hose, pump or a sensor could be involved. A technician finds which.
Look under the lid or along the tub opening rim, which is where the label is usually found on top loaders.
