- Key Specs
- Color Finish: Gray
- Product Height: 42 1/4 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 1/2 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: 28 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: 57 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
- Capacity: 5.3 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: true (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: Impeller (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.)
- Washer Load Type: Top load
- Matching Dryer Model Number: WED8500DC, WGD8500DC
- App Compatible: false (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)

Q: Does the water fill from one place or multiple?
A: Hello MzForza, water will fill from multiple areas depending on the cycle that is selected. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances! Sincerely, Aisha B.
Q: Does it make your clothes smell like mold?
A: I'm actually happy to answer this question! I had the same exact problem with my front loader. I purchased this washer and it has blown my mind at how well it cleans! I'm using same soap I used for my front loader but the fresh smell lasts days and days after washing and drying. No more mildew musty clothes. I recommend this washer it's tough on clothes in a good way. I love the DEEP WATER setting which I know is taboo to say but I feel like it helps wash the clothes even better. Hope this helps!
A: Hi Paloma! Due to different styles, and fills of comforters it is hard to determine which ones will or will not fit. As there is no standard size, fill, or shape, we cannot determine if the washer will be able to accommodate your particular bedding. We apologize for the inconvenience.
A: Hi Alfred, touching the power button once while the washer is on will cancel the current cycle and turn the washer off. We hope this helps!
Q: How many minutes is the quick wash cycle?
A: 38 minutes
Q: How do you add bleach? Is there a dispenser to add bleach to a load?
A: Yes, there is a dispenser for liquid bleach only.
