Q: Does the water fill from one place or multiple?

A: Hello MzForza, water will fill from multiple areas depending on the cycle that is selected. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances! Sincerely, Aisha B.

Q: Does it make your clothes smell like mold?

A: I'm actually happy to answer this question! I had the same exact problem with my front loader. I purchased this washer and it has blown my mind at how well it cleans! I'm using same soap I used for my front loader but the fresh smell lasts days and days after washing and drying. No more mildew musty clothes. I recommend this washer it's tough on clothes in a good way. I love the DEEP WATER setting which I know is taboo to say but I feel like it helps wash the clothes even better. Hope this helps!

Q: Hi can you wash large blankets? I just lost my cabrio after 11 years and it was a large tub. I’m trying to figure out if I should get an ajecteter.

A: Hi Paloma! Due to different styles, and fills of comforters it is hard to determine which ones will or will not fit. As there is no standard size, fill, or shape, we cannot determine if the washer will be able to accommodate your particular bedding. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Q: I have a new Whirlpool washer model # WTW8500DC. How do you cancel or abort a wash cycle in mid-cycle in order to begin a new cycle with different settings?

A: Hi Alfred, touching the power button once while the washer is on will cancel the current cycle and turn the washer off. We hope this helps!

Q: How do you add bleach? Is there a dispenser to add bleach to a load?

A: Yes, there is a dispenser for liquid bleach only.
