Questionwhy does the product info page say 4.3 Cu under Whats Included?What's Included •Whirlpool 4.3 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle High-Efficiency Washer •Owner's manual is this a Whirlpool 3.6 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle High-Efficiency Washer or 4.3 Cu. please adjust your site!
Asked 13 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The washer is 3.6 cubic feet. Not sure why it says that. The washer is still larger inside than a traditional 3.6 because there's no agitator running up the center. You can fit a lot of clothes in this machine- a full load is very large.

QuestionWhat is a wash plate.Years ago a friend had a Whirlpool I loved the way it pumped the clothes from the top of the washer to the bottom by agitating up and down in a pumping motion. Is that a wash plate
Asked 14 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Dear Valued Consumer: What you are describing does not fit the description of our wash plate in model WTW4950XW. The small wash plate will pull the clothes up and out but does not pump them up at all. Thank you for your interest in our Whirlpool washer.

QuestionIs a buzzing noise normal during the Wash phase?My washer was just delivered today. I am running the recommended cleaning cycle and there is a rather loud buzzing sound about once per second. It might be the washplate turning. Since the lid locks I have no way to look inside and see if it is operating correctly. Is it supposed to be so loud? I live in a condo and I suspect my next door and upstairs neighbors can hear it.
Asked 12 years ago by Mike.
- Answer There are many different sounds the machine makes. You'll get used to them after about a week. They sounded really loud to me at first too, but after I got used to them they were unnoticeable. They're normal- in the manual it tells you to expect some unusual sounds :) I was suspicious at first- but the machine has done a great job cleaning for me.
