- Capacity: 3.9 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: Impeller (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.)

Q: What would cause my washer to spin violently on spin cycle.
A: Hello, thanks for the inquiry. We have provided troubleshooting for the vibration that you are experiencing. Hope this helps! http://producthelp.whirlpool.com/Troubleshooting?startid=5065
Q: What is wrong if it doesn’t fill up like it should with water
A: We apologize for your concerns regarding the low water level in your washer. Please check the following troubleshooting tips: 1. Cycle Modifiers and Water Level Selection Modifiers: After selecting a cycle, you can adjust default modifiers like Soil Level, Spin Speed, and Temperature using the cycle settings buttons. Not all settings are available for every cycle. Water Level (If applicable): Auto Sensing: Turns the Water Level knob to this setting to allow the machine to automatically sense the appropriate water level for the load size. Deep Water Wash: Turns the Water Level knob to this setting to add the maximum amount of water. Note: This option may lead to longer cycle times due to extended fill times. 2. Bulky Cycle Operation (On some models) The Bulky Cycle uses a series of fills while agitating. It may appear to have insufficient water, but the washer will continue to add water over 10-12 minutes as sensors monitor the load. Agitation during the fill improves cleaning and helps reach the optimal wash water level. The fill may pause occasionally for additional mechanical action. 3. Non-Agitator Models (Low-Water Wash Plate System) The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load size, and no water level selector is needed. Loading: Load items in loose heaps evenly around the wash plate. Keep the center uncovered. Important: Do not add more water. Excess water can cause clothes to float, lessening the cleaning action because the clothes must engage with the impeller. 4. Clean Washer Cycle If you feel the water level is lower than when you first started using the washer, run a Clean Washer cycle to re-calibrate the control and reset factory-set water levels. Run this cycle about once a month or every 30 cycles. Maytag recommends using affresh®, which cleans deep inside the appliance, reaching components like the tub, pump, and hoses. If the issue persists, we recommend contacting Whirlpool® directly at 800-253-1301 for further assistance. Our representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST.

Great buy can’t beat the price.
Large capacity. Deep cold water wash. The extra spin and rinse. Just makes it a great buy. Can’t beat this deal Only con is that it makes loud noise on its final spin.

Ok washer
This washer does the job. However, if I could choose all over again I would not get this model. The washing cycles are too long and the auto sensing is incredibly loud. The cycles switching from one to another make a loud noise. I'm not sure how it can be more efficient if it washes longer than my old ancient model did?? There are only 2 cycles basically because if you choose anything other than quick wash or deep wash and rinse your washer will be going for over an hour... Almost 2.. Makes no sense. I would not recommend this washer... The best thing about it is you can put 2 comforters in it or a lot of clothing and it not be cramped...

Follow manufacturer instructions for clean result
I purchased the Whirlpool top-load (impeller) washer to replace a Whirlpool top-load (agitator) washer that failed unexpectedly. The impeller action is much better than the agitator. I like the many options offered for wash temperature, water level and rinse & wash cycles. (The whites w/soak & colors w/soak cycles are favorites.) Follow the manual's instructions on how to correctly load the machine & determine the amount of detergent needed for each size load.
