Description
Features
Adapts to your load
Adaptive Wash technology uses sensors to determine the fabric type and soil conditions of each load. Then it automatically adjusts up to 11 different washing motions to provide the right care and cleaning for your clothes.
Low-profile impeller provides thorough yet gentle cleaning
The impeller's seamless surface and unique vanes drive clothes from the outer rim to the center of the wash drum, where the deepest cleaning happens.
Large 4.3 cu. ft. capacity
Do more laundry in fewer loads. Wash 25 or more bath towels or a queen-sized comforter in a single load..
12 wash cycles for customized cleaning
Lets you choose the perfect cycle for your load. Includes Normal, Heavy Duty, Quick Wash, Bulky Items, Casual, Deep Water Wash and more.
No more soaking outside the washer
Give your clothes time to soak before the wash cycle starts by simply selecting the Presoak option.
Deep Water Wash cycle
Helps eliminate the need for pretreating by helping to break down heavy soils.
Clean Washer cycle
Deep-fills the washer to clean areas that low-water systems don't typically reach.
Choose the right water temperature for your clothes
Five temperature settings help you ensure the water will never be too hot for your fabrics or too cold for your detergent to work properly.
Vibration control keeps your washer quiet
Gap dampers and springs minimize movement of the wash drum during the spin cycle, so your normal household activities won't be interrupted by noise.
Top-load design
Lets you load and unload from a standing position. Plus, you can easily add forgotten items to the load once it's started.

Excellent washer
||Posted .I love this washer... it is basically like a front load washer but top load so no seals to worry about leaking like on a front loader. Takes a little bit to get use to being there is no agitator but you load it like there was one. I have had it a week now and I am more then satisified. I would recommend this washer to anyone and when on sale its a deal. Bought the matching dryer to and didnt know till we hooked it up it has a light in it when you open the door.

Problems. Low Quality.
||Posted .Owned for 10 months when reviewed.I’ve owned this 2 years now. Within 3 months had my first service call. Drum was not secure. 2 years later a piece fell out of the bottom of the washer and flooded my laundry room. Thank God for a drain in there. Fix it or go in for a new washer is my dilemma now. I’ve always had great whirlpool washers. Not this model.

Wonderful Washer for a Family
||Posted .This is the first washer I have purchased, and I must say I truly enjoy it! I knew from reading previous reviews that the washer does not stay open while the water is running. I use a powder detergent or pods, so it wasn't a problem for me. This washer works very well. I've had no problems so far, and my clothes come out clean with each wash. I really like the option to deep soak and the many others that come with it. I was worried about it lacking the center agitator, but it has still proved to be a highly efficient washer. You can wash a large amount of clothes or small with a delicate cold cycle. Perfect for a busy family and well worth the money! The last feature I'd like to comment on is the chart offered on the inside of the washer. It is a great guide to use this machine to its full potential. Love this washer!!

What experts are saying
Q: Questionso many bad reviews,, is this washer truly a BAD BUY!?there are so many people on the web, giving bad reviews... I purchased this set, just waiting on delivery in a few days but my concern is if I should change my order for a "better machine" it is truly hard to bas my purchase on a review since it seems people that give their feed back on a product are typically the ones that do only just to complain on the bad part of any item.
Asked by aristr.
- A:Answer Not a bad guy at all for the price. It has a super large capacity....bigger than that of a front loader. It runs much quieter than our old Samsung front loader. The spin is not quite as good but still very adequate.

Q: Questiondoes this machine have a bleach and fabric softener dispensers?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Bleach, yes. Softener, no. For softener you have to choose a particular rinse cycle ("Rinse with softener, or 2 Rinses with softener") and the wait around for the rinse cycle to put the softener in.

Q: QuestionWhy do people complain about wet clothes?
Asked by Me.
- A:Answer I've run two loads so far in my washer. A good size load of towels though not totally full or packed in on deep wash then a load of t-shirts, shorts and two pairs of jeans (probably 15 items). Both were supposed to have a high spun speed. Both cycles ended and it's obvious they had not spin. Clothes were dripping wet in the center of washer. This is what people are complaining about when they say wet clothes. And yes, I loaded it exactly as the directions said. After running the drain and spin cycle, they were properly spun out.

Q: QuestionHow fast does thi swasher complete its wash cycle
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It depends on how you set the controls. One rinse or two? It has a quick wash setting, a heavy load setting, and can be adjusted for light to heavy soil, so there are a lot of variables. But the plus is no matter how long it takes is that you can do a huge load all at once instead of having to split it and do two loads in a regular machine. And it saves on water and detergent.

Q: QuestionWe have this washer and use the correct detergent and put the clothes in so as not to cover the middle. Clothes are still soaked after washing.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer In the manual it says to use certain settings for certain loads. Maybe try 'High' on the spin setting. Also for the wash setting maybe try putting it on 'Heavy Duty' or ' Bedding'. I think this allows for heavier fabrics like jeans or towels, that do soak in a lot of water. I have not had a problem with items being soaked with water after the load is finished accept for one time and maybe one of my kids did a light load and changed the settings and I just assumed it was on the higher setting that I usually use, I'm not sure I didn't check, but the fix was just turning the wash setting to 'Spin' and it gave it that extra spin cycle to get rid of the extra water. My son pointed out to me that he forgot to add the fabric softener during a wash that he did and so when it finished washing he put the softener in the little pull out drawer and then set it to 'Rinse + Spin' and it worked perfect! Oh just one last thing, we fill the washer and don't worry about the middle. I just washed pillows and they were definitely in the middle, so I don't think you need to worry about that.
Answered by SherylH
Q: QuestionIf adding fabric softener, will the washer stop automatically so I can put softener in it?? If not, what is the time frames for when the rinse cycle stops so I can set a reminder to put in fabric softener??
Asked by Cmk.
- A:Answer Whirlpool Load HE Washer - WTW5000DW2 I loathe this washer! The fabric softener settings are there, but you must catch the moment it is ready for fabric softener! I am like most people and am not watching the machine for just the right moment to stop and add softener. This machine uses a minimal amount of water, even in the deep water cycles. I rinse everything twice since the clothes don’t feel clean at end of one rinse. All in all I miss my old washing machine where I could choose the water cycle and had a fabric dispenser. This machine demands that you sit next to it band catch just the right moment to stop and add the softener. Ridiculous considering that no one I know has the time and dedication to do this., Did I mention that I hate this washer?

Q: Questionwith the deep water wash, what is the level of water in the whirlpool cabrio 4.3 cu. ft. top load washer
Asked by mke.
- A:Answer The “deep water “ setting doesn’t work 75 percent of the time. This is the worst washer we have ever had. I keep the setting on deep water and half of our clothes are still dry from not having enough water. Oh and the sensing function is truly annoying. We know how much water we need on our clothes. Small medium large extra large. Period.
