Washing machines: Washing machine parts and spares Whirlpool spares

One of its machines has the largest capacity we've seen – 10kg

American brand Whirlpool offers a wide range of washing machines, and offers a one-year parts and labour guarantee on all washing machines. If you need to replace a part after the first year, you have several options.

Buying Whirlpool spares

Whirlpool’s authorised spare parts retailer is 4ourhouse, and you can buy Whirlpool spare parts directly from www.4whirlpool.co.uk or by calling 0844 847 4279.

Whirlpool spares are also available from a variety of other online retailers, including Espares (www.espares.co.uk), Partmaster (www.partmaster.co.uk), UK Whitegoods (shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk) and Domestic Spares (www.domesticspares.co.uk).

You’ll need to know the model number of your Whirlpool washing machine before ordering spares, as most parts are model-specific. The model number is usually displayed on the washing machine near the controls.

If you’re unsure what’s wrong with your washing machine, you can use our washing machine troubleshooting tool to help diagnose the problem. Plus, if you want to find out how much spare parts typically cost, check out our common washing machine spare parts table.

Finding a washing machine repairer

You can book a Whirlpool service engineer by calling 0844 815 8989. Repair labour costs start at £85, plus parts. Whirlpool also offers a ‘Repair Plan’ which offers a fixed-price repair including parts, for 10 monthly installments of ‘from £15.90’. This might help spread the cost, and your machine is guaranteed against further repairs for 12 months, but may work out more expensive than a single repair, depending on the parts you need.

Alternatively, you can find an independent recommended plumber or appliance repairer in your area by visiting Which? Local – the local trader recommendation website exclusively for Which? Members. Nearly 3,000 plumbers have been recommended on Which? Local so far.

Latest Whirlpool washing machines rated

We’ve run extensive tests on 13 Whirlpool washing machines in our test lab – read full reviews of each model, and find out whether any models have been awarded Best Buy or Don’t Buy status, in the Which? washing machines reviews.

The models we’ve tested include the Whirlpool AWO/D AS128 AquaSteam, the Whirlpool AWOE 8558 and the new Whirlpool AWO/R5406.

Whirlpool washing machine reliabilty

As well as testing washing machines in our lab, we've also surveyed thousands of owners on the reliability of the machine they have. Find out Whirlpool’s reliability track record by visiting our washing machine reliability page.

Replacing your washing machine

If you discover your washing machine can’t be fixed and you need to replace it, make sure you check out our washing machine reviews before splashing out on a new model. We test washing machines on a wide variety of criteria to find out which perform the best, and have found a Best Buy washing machine for under £200.
