    Quirky features

    The two things I like the least are the fact that you need to hold the start button for a full 3 count to make it start and it doesn't have a delay start. I wish I would have known those features before I purchased. I don't think it would have necessarily made me not buy it, but I was disappointed with these features. That said, I LOVE the wash and dry feature (allowing you to put a small load in overnight and it washes AND dries it!), the load and go feature (you fill the storage with liquid detergent and the machine determines the amount of detergent to use, pulling from that reserve. GREAT for teens doing their own laundry! It also lets you know when the machine it running low). I also like the steam and th sanitize cycles. Those is awesome for pet owners, like myself! The machine is large, allowing for more items and less loads of laundry.

    Huge washer. HUGE!

    It’s big. Large enough that loads I used to have to split now fit with room to spare. Seems to do an excellent job of washing and the time is accurate (my older front-loaders used to stall on 1 minute remaining for about the last 10 minutes of the cycle.) I love the multitude of washing options and the fact that my house no longer feels like an earthquake is happening when it enters spin cycle. Could it be quieter? Perhaps. But a great washer for the value.

    Great Deal on a nice washer.

    The Salesman was very helpful, and we got a great deal on a floor model washer. We especially appreciate the 5.0 Cubic Foot, as this is larger than we were expecting to buy. The WhirlPool does have one strange feature, where you have to hold the Start button while it counts down for three seconds before it will start...

    Very pleased with this purchase

    We had the Whirlpool Duet washer and it lasted 10 plus years. All of our major appliances are whirlpool and we didn't see a need to try a different brand. Here are the things we like about the new washer. Large capacity. Easy to use. A reminder to use the clean setting on the washer every 30 loads for self cleaning. The only thing I would have liked to have seen would have been a little louder end of cycle tone but this is not a big deal.

Questions & Answers

  • Is there a way to keep the drum light on during a cycle, or does it only come on upon opening the door and then turns off shortly after? Also, is there a way to deactivate the Load&Go feature without having to disable it before every load?

    Gr8ful, the drum light will not stay on during a cycle. You will need to disable the Load and GO before each load.

  • What will happen if you want to use the single dispenser but forget to disable the Load&Go light and there is no detergent in the Load&Go Dispenser? Will it automatically seek to push detergent through the single dispenser?

    Gr8ful, if you do not disable the load and go feature, it will still use the dispenser.

  • How do you adjust the cycle time? My old Whirlpool washer took half the time? Why so long & how do I adjust?

    Mo, it is normal for the Washer to take longer than your previous one. The U.S. Department of Energy requires all new washers to use less energy than the washer you replaced. Today's washers not only maximize cleaning performance by using less water, but they mix in cold water to save energy. Additionally, your high-efficiency machine uses sensors to set the optimal wash temperature, cycle time, and agitation speed for your size and soil level of your load. Ever-evolving technology means that your new machine is using much less electricity over a span of time than older machines did. Hopefully, this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool Appliances!
