Q: QuestionIs there a "Spin only" setting on this machine? How do I get the water out if it somehow stops mid cycle before spinning?

Asked 3 years ago by MandJ.

• A:Answer Didn't try yet but maybe I have solution... Go into your Whirlpool app and hit shortcut to show all washer features. Then go into utility cycles. I think drain and spin should do it. Hope that works. I've had same issue few days ago so wish i knew about this.

Q: QuestionCan you use laundry pods in this machine?

Asked 2 years ago by NanaT.

• A:Answer Hello NanaT. As long as you use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.

Q: QuestionI added some bleach to the liquid bleach compartment for a load of sheets. Can I assume that the bleach was all used in the one load? Or does some stay in there? I don’t want to accidentally ruin a color load.

Asked 2 years ago by BleachQueen.

• A:Answer Hi BleachQueen, the bleach would be used all for one load, however, we would recommend using the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle after as bleach is a liquid and without proper cleaning, may stay behind.

Q: QuestionDoes Whirlpool have a user manual that explaines all of the features that are available on this machine? Why do I have to go to this Q&A to find out about things on this washer? The manual that comes with the washer is really useless for operating it.

Q: QuestionCan you wash a king size bedspread in this?

Asked 3 years ago by ridgerunner.

• A:Answer Yes you can, you'll want to remove the agitator and probably choose the bulky cycle. However, it will most likely get off balance and spend one or two cycles using a lot of water trying to self balance. Then it won't be able to, and you'll have to manually distribute the weight of the comforter around the drum. Our previous front loading washer was much better at washing king blankets and comforters.

Asked 3 years ago by Deeper.

• A:Answer It can! It has a sensor to sense the amount of clothes you have in there to determine the water level. It also has a faucet button you can press to fill it with more water. It will not overflow, but stops after it is filled and/or 10 mins.
