To reset and recalibrate your Whirlpool washer, unplug the washer for 1 minute. Plug it back in, open and close the lid 6 times within 12 seconds. This resets the control panel. For models with a calibration cycle, turn the dial to 'rinse,' press start, and let it complete its cycle. This ensures the washer operates efficiently. Always refer to your user manual for specific instructions.
