  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: Black
    • Product Height: 37 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 3/8 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 1/4 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
    • Capacity: 5.2 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: 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: Single-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: WED6157PB, WGD6157PB
    • 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.)

    • Antimicrobial Protection: false (The product includes protective features which are designed to eliminate or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.)
    • Vibration Reduction: true (Additional features, such as sensors that adjust spin speeds or weights that counter unbalanced loads, help to minimize vibration for smoother, quieter operation.)
    • Maximum Spin Speed: 850 revolutions per minute (This is the maximum spin speed of the tub in the final cycle. Higher revolutions per minute (RPM) will remove the water out of the clothes more quickly and effectively which can reduce drying time.)
    • Out-Of-Balance Detection: true
    • Automatic Temperature Control: true (This feature regulates hot and cold temperatures of the water or air within the appliance in order to keep them in the optimal range for each cycle.)
    • Child Lock: true (Setting that allows appliance to be temporarily locked to prevent use.)
    • Delay Start: true (Allows you to program the appliance to automatically run at a later time. This feature helps you coordinate with your household’s water needs, noise preferences, and more. Additionally, operating your appliance during off-peak hours may reduce energy costs.)
    • End-Of-Cycle Signal: true (An audible alert and/or visual indicator that notifies you when a pre-selected cycle is complete.)
    • Time-Remaining Display: false
    • Interior Light(s): false
    • Bleach Dispenser: true
    • Fabric Softener Dispenser: true
    • Detergent Dispenser Type: Single load (Single load dispensers hold enough liquid detergent for a single cycle and must be refilled after each use. A multiple load dispenser holds enough for multiple cycles before it is necessary to refill the detergent. The exact number of cycles completed before refilling will vary as machines with multiple load dispensers will calculate and dispense detergent automatically based on load size and other user preferences such as concentration level.)

    • Wireless Connectivity: None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
