Ensure dirty loads get the care they need with an extra rinse to wash away any lingering soils or detergent.

Shocked and disappointed
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Had under 1 week. Washer gets off balance easily. Bangs around so hard that the metal around the feet has bent. Feet are bent now and washer won’t stand up straight. I don’t know how they expect the tiny pool quality plastic feet and thin metal edge around the bottom to support all the weight of the machine and water. When it was washing the clothes it twisted them so badly that it causes damage to the clothes. You have to use detergent pods with it because it won’t run the water to start the load with the lid open. Ridiculous design and not very functional. Just wanted something I could set water level with and have an agitator like the old days. Hope I can get a different model or replacement. Very disappointed with this Whirlpool product and I have always bought Whirlpool products.

Pictures (poor Quality) of Tape on top of washer
Posted .I have been so disappointed about this washer, due to the invisible tape attached above the knobs on top of the washer. After being told not to remove it immediately and waiting till next day I attempted to remove it. Unfortunately tape was stuck so strong that it removed the light blue paint and I had to stop removing the tape. This made the new washer look old and cheap. This washer also makes unusual annoying sounds when changing cycles. Sounds that my old Maytag didn't make.

First Whirlpool appliance
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Takes the guess work out of water levels with the auto sensing feature. Very quiet and efficient. 11 different wash cycles and a "clean washer" cycle as well. Never had a Whirlpool before so i can't speak on the longevity or quality. Seems to be fairly well made.

Junk since day one.
Posted .Purchased this model Amana washer in September 2020. Made noise since day one. Finally called repairman out and it needs 5 Parts replaced due to factory defect in the gear case. Machine is unusable until fixed. Whirlpool, who makes this machine, says parts are backed up. Will take 22+ days to even find the parts. This certainly does not inspire confidence in USA made products.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs this a HE washer?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I do not believe so as it has a full size agitator. It does use HE detergent. I will say my previous machine was HE and it was awful. It left a white residue, assuming lint based, on clothing. Reduced detergent, washed smaller loads (as directed for this issue) to no avail. Ended up either re-washing or running another rinse cycle and most times didn't resolve issue so wasn't very efficient. My new Whirlpool is great. Has auto sensing fill and deep water wash for quilts, sheets and bulky items. My clothes need only one wash/rinse as there is no residue.

Q: QuestionHas anyone had a problem with the washer not turning on? Mine just stopped and it is four months old. Dead as a doornail. And it has a working power source, I checked and rechecked everything. I LOVE this washer and am so disappointed.
Asked by Oldmom.
- A:Answer If it's less than a month old, call whirlpool ASAP, because even if you have geeksquad, whirlpool insists on handling all maintenance/repairs in the first year.
Answered by TrevorPhilips
Q: QuestionDoes this machine have a place to add detergent? Or does it have to be hand poured?
Asked by Wbsbeauty.
- A:Answer The detergent has to be hand poured. Only the bleach and fabric softer has a place to add.
Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionDoes anyone have a way of cleaning the fabric softener dispenser in the agitator, since it can’t be removed (per the manual’s instructions)? I tried using a downy ball to just avoid using it, but the ball didn’t empty like it did in non HE washers.
Asked by Mamabear.
- A:Answer I have always cleaned the softener dispenser simply by putting hot water in the dispenser and running a load, repeat if nessessary
Answered by DrFranklin
Q: QuestionCan someone please measure the exact depth of the machine. I know the specifications show it to be 27” wide by a 27” depth but typically the depth is usually less. I need a depth of no bigger than 26 3/4” to fit down our stairs. Thanks!!
Asked by Pg.
- A:Answer The exact measurement is 26 1/2"deep. This will be a very tight fit.
Answered by BigD
Q: QuestionCould someone measure floor to door height with the door open straight up? Need one that will open under upper cabinets. Thank you.
Asked by Elvis.
- A:Answer The height, with the door open 90 degrees, is 52 inches.
Answered by CommunityAnswer
Q: QuestionOnce the wash cycle begins can it be opened to add an item or is the lid locked
Asked by Mech.
- A:Answer Just hit the start (pause) button and it will unlock and you can start it back up again without restarting your load of laundry.
Answered by Adoll
Q: QuestionIs this particular model (WTW4955HW) specified as a high-efficiency washer?
Asked by Whirlpool.
- A:Answer Yes it is. Still getting used to the filling pattern and the longer time to complete a wash cycle.
