Whirlpool - 4.3 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Top Load Washer with Smooth Wave Stainless Steel Wash Basket - White
- Key Specs
- Product Height: 42 1/4 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 27 1/2 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 28 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Height With Door Open: 56 3/4 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
- Capacity: 4.3 cubic feet
- High-Efficiency: false (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: Agitator (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.)
- Agitator Type: Single-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)
- Washer Load Type: Top load

- 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.

- 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.

Q: so many bad reviews,, is this washer truly a BAD BUY!?
A: 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: does this machine have a bleach and fabric softener dispensers?
A: 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: Why do people complain about wet clothes?
A: 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: How fast does thi swasher complete its wash cycle
A: 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: Can you open the lid once it starts filling?
A: only if you push the start/pause button
A: 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?
A: 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.
A: 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.
