What Does It Mean When Whirlpool Duet Washer Beeps Three Times?
Whirlpool duet washers have many lights and a beeper that indicates the functionality and faults inside the machine. You can also find these sounds in other Whirlpool washer models.
Three times beep in a Whirlpool duet washer means that the drain filter is clogged or the washing drum is overloaded. Whirlpool washing machines have a drain filter that filters and prevents small pieces of clothes and particles from going inside the drain pump.
Sometimes small items go through a drain cycle in the drain system, such as a hankey, wallet, comb, or any small item. Because of their small size, they go inside the drain hose system.
But the drain filter carries and prevents them from inside the drain pump. This filter only allows wastewater to go forward. You can see this filter in the front right bottom side.
On the other hand, an overloaded drum can cause imbalance. It makes the drum rotate slowly and sometimes burn the motor due to extra load on the motor which causes heat inside the motor components.
You should always check the capacity of the washing drum. Most washing machines have stickers on them that represent how much weight the washing machine can handle.
For example, If there is written 7KG, it means the user can only put up to KG of washing clothes loaded inside the drum.
If the load is extra than recommended, the washer can detect it and beeps three times to tell the user that the drum is overloaded. This is a common mistake that most new users made.
