“Bleach and Stainless Steel Hi, I am interested in this particular model of Whirlpool front loader, but I see the interior is made of stainless steel. I know bleach is extremely corrosive to stainless steel, but it appears to have a dispenser for chlorine bleach as a feature. It is safe to use chlorine bleach in a stainless steel washing machine drum? Thanks, Megan”

Hello, Megan! Using bleach through the bleach dispenser should not cause any issues to the wash basket. The stainless steel used for the basket is a rust-resistant grade of stainless steel that been treated to prevent rust and corrosion. Thank you for your interest in a Whirlpool washer!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes! It has a coating which doesn't affect the steel. I have the same washer you are talking about and sometimes my kids take forever to get their clothes out. No problem and no issues. No corrosion at all. I've checked!
