Q: Where is this washer made?

A: Hey QuickHitmanX7. All of our Washers are manufacutered in the U.S. We hope this helps!

Q: I want to replace my existing whirlpool washer with this one. How do I know it will fit under my whirlpool dryer?

A: Hi kp, the best thing to do is to measure the sides... and check the web with the info of the new one.... or ask customer service if they can compare your model with the new one... It has to be a stackable model..

Q: Washing bath mats is there a extra spin to get all the water out

A: There is an extra spin cycle, drain and spin. Or when you start the cycle you can do extra time or more time on spin.

Q: Does the dryer have a drum light inside?

A: No, there is no drum light inside.

Q: How do I clean the Whirlpool front load washer? The light "clean washer" is on, and it "rings" every few minutes. I don't know what to press, or what to do. Can you please help me? Thank you in advanced.

A: Hello. Please visit https://tinyurl.com/2f7eyhfx and refer to page 5 for instructions on cleaning this model Washer. We hope this information is helpful.

Q: Can I stack an older whirlpool dryer WED75HEFW1. Thanks

A: Best Buy will be able to determine whether your older model will work on a new one. You need to submit both old and new models. I just had to do that having purchased a new whirlpool washer with an older dryer on top.

Q: how much space between wall and washer is required for hook up

A: Hello, charlie. In a recessed area or closet installation when a Washer and Dryer are stacked together, a 5-inch space behind the units is required while 6 inches of space above the units is required. In a recessed area or closet installation with only the Washer, it is required to have 1 inch of space on all sides. In a customer cabinet installation, it is required to have at least 1 inch of space on all sides. We hope this helps.
