Key Specs
- Color Finish: White
- Product Height: 39 3/8 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 27 1/4 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 27 7/8 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Height With Door Open: 58 1/2 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
- Capacity: 5 cubic feet
- High-Efficiency: true (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
- Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
- Washing Mechanism: Removable agitator (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)
- Agitator Type: Dual-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)
- Washer Load Type: Top load
- Matching Dryer Model Number: WGD8127LW, WED8127LW
- App Compatible: true (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great machine, crumby hose
I bought my whirlpool top loader in January. Reviews said it was noisy, but the store sales person who I have bought items from before assured me it was one of the best washers and not too noisy. We had it installed and it was noisy. We kept hearing this loud banging sound. I looked at it while this was going on and discovered the sound was from the hose banging against the wall as water emptied after the wash cycle. The hose is thin and light. I stapled some foam to the wall and twist tied the hose to it. Now the machine makes less noise than my dishwasher. My wash comes out cleaner than my old front loader. Very pleased. I may ask a plumber to replace the hose with a sturdier one. But right now all is well.
