- Product Height: 42.75 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: 27.375 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.)

- Height With Door Open: 57 1/4 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: 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.)

Q: Does this machine add enough water to completely saturate and cover the clothes?
A: Hello, Newer Top Load washers do use considerably less water than older traditional washers. Cycles such as Heavy Duty or Bulky items will fill with more water than the more energy-efficient cycles, such as normal. Load Size selection will also change the amount of water. During rinse, most cycles use a spray rinse. However, by using the Fabric Softener option, or the Extra Rinse option, the washer will use a deep fill rinse. NOTE: Cycles are designed for specific clothing items, and using them other than instructed in the Use and Care Guide may result in less than optimal performance. Using these cycles may increase the amount of time and energy used, and may not meet the standard Energy Star® Standards.

Q: Can you add water to all cycles ?
A: Hello Cindy, you cannot add water to the cycles. We greatly apologize.
Q: I don't see a timer display. How long are the cycles
A: Hello! There are no set range of cycle times for this model of washer. Cycle times vary depending on water pressure in the home, load size, amount of detergent used etc. The unit also has a soil sensor, which would sense the soil on the clothing. Which in return would adjust the time. The time in the display is an estimated time only and may adjust.
Q: Is this Direct Drive or Belt Drive ?
A: Hello! Model WTW6157PW is direct drive. Thank you for your inquiry on our Whirlpool appliances.
Q: How do I turn on the end cycle buzzer
A: Hello! Model WTW6157PW does not have the option to turn off the End Of Cycle signal. Thank you for your inquiry about our Whirlpool® appliances.
Q: Is there an app for this washer? Also how long does each cycle take my old washer had time built in
A: Hello! Model WTW6157PB does not have the use of an App. The cycle time will vary depending on the type of load, cycle selection, and option selection, as well as the household water temperature and pressure. I would recommend changing the soil level to lengthen or shorten the cycles. A lower soil level will decrease the wash time and a higher soil level will increase the wash time. You may view the link for additional information on cycle times. https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/washers-and-dryers/how-long-does-a-washing-machine-take-to-wash-clothes.html Thank you for your inquiry about our Whirlpool appliances.
A: Hello! Model WTW6157PW offers Advanced Vibration Control. Advanced technology helps reduce vibration and helps prevent loads from becoming unbalanced for a quiet, smooth wash cycle. Thank you for your inquiry about our Whirlpool appliances.
A: Hello, The bleach dispenser cup for the Washer model WTW6157PB is located in the front right corner of the unit.

Back in Black ⚡️
Personally I am a big fan of this washer and dryer set! The black pulls things together well and makes the laundry room more aesthetic to help me want to do laundry more. I never have an issue with my clothes get fully clean or dry within one cycle and the detachable aggitator is a big plus when washing delicates! I would 100% repurchase this item again!

I enjoy having the removable agitator on this dishwasher pretty simple to use. The only thing I didn’t like was not being able to pause and restart easily or change settings in the middle of process.
