About this model
Model overview
Whirlpool lists the WTW5105HW as a 27″ top load washer. Landlords who standardize on one brand often have this washer paired with a matching dryer in the same closet, so a washer fault is a good moment to check the dryer vent as well. The Whirlpool washer repair page has the general rules we follow.
Where water on the floor comes from
A leak under a top loader may come from a loose hose connection at the back, a tub overflow, a pump or hose that drips, or a seal. Follow the water: dry the floor, run the washer for a short cycle and look for wet spots at the hoses first. A leak at the back that drips only while filling points to a supply hose or inlet; a leak that appears during drain points to the pump or drain hose. The code library lists F8E3 as a machine overflow cause.
Long cycles and extra rinsing
If a wash lasts longer than you expect, the washer may be extending rinses, correcting an unbalanced load or waiting on water. Entries to compare: F0E2, where the washer extends rinse time to remove excess suds, and F0E3, where the overload recovery cycle is running. Not every long cycle is a fault.
Condos and closets
- A stacked or closet install may have the supply valves behind a wall panel; ask about access when you book.
- Drain hoses fed into a laundry sink can slip out and spray; check the hose is clipped.
- Washers on upper floors with no drain pan should be watched during the first cycle after any repair.
Do this before the visit
- Close the supply valves if you see water.
- Dry the floor and note exactly where it returns.
- Check for a kink in the drain hose.
- Read and record the code.
- Use less detergent next time and split a heavy load.
Do not run a washer that is flooding, and do not touch the plug with wet hands.
Moving forward
We identify the cause, tell you in plain words and give a written estimate. Repairs start only with your approval. See the Whirlpool washers page for more models, and the WTW5015LW for a similar top loader.
Frequently asked questions
A hose leak often shows during filling at the back connections. A tub or pump leak shows during wash or drain. Note when the water appears.
Not always. The washer may be extending a rinse for suds or running an overload recovery. A repeat long cycle with a small load deserves a visit.
If you have a matched pair, yes, particularly the lint screen and the outside vent. We can service both.
Not before we arrive. We will say if moving it is needed.
