Whirlpool Duet 4.2 Cu. Ft. 8-Cycle High-Efficiency Front-Loading Washer: If you're not sure what your laundry load needs, that's okay — this large-capacity washer does. It automatically adjusts washing actions, such as tumbling and cradling, based on the fabric type and soil conditions of each load, so your laundry gets a powerful clean that's also gentle on your clothes.

Laundry Buying Guide

  • 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 14 different washing motions to provide the right care and cleaning for your clothes.
  • Releases detergent at the right time: Detergent and additives are held in the dispenser and then released at the correct time during the cycle for optimal fabric care.
  • Large 4.2 cu. ft. capacity: Do more laundry in fewer loads. Wash 25 or more bath towels or a queen-sized comforter in a single load.
  • Wash all your garments and linens with 1 of 8 cycles: Cycles are designed to help you wash your items without damaging them. Includes Normal, Heavy Duty, Cold Wash, Delicates, Eco Sanitize, Quick Wash and more.
  • Choose the best water temperature for your clothes: Four temperature settings — cold, cool, warm and hot — help you ensure the water's just right for your fabrics.
  • Keep germs out of your bedding and clothes: The Eco Sanitize cycle with Oxi helps eliminate 99.9% of common household bacteria.*
  • Vibration control keeps your washer quiet: Sensors detect when your load is out of balance, while a 6-point suspension system helps redistribute the load automatically and minimizes movement of the wash drum during the spin cycle.
  • Front-load design: Washing with minimal agitation decreases wear and tear to your clothing. Also, front-loading washers save water and energy. With an optional stacking kit, you can add the matching dryer (sold separately) and save space.
  • Start your laundry faster: Tap Touch controls remember the last cycle and settings for a quick touch start.
  • Smooth Wave stainless steel wash drum: Helps protect fabrics from fraying and snags.

Q: What is the CEE rating for this washer?

A: Hi Terry, Prior to purchasing this Whirlpool washer (WFW72HED - Duet 4.2 Cu. Ft. 8-Cycle High Efficiency Front-Loading Washer), I researched water-efficient washing machines. This washer is rated CEE Tier 2 (as of July 2015). CEE revised their list/ratings monthly; you can find them, here: http://library.cee1.org/content/qualifying-product-lists-residential-clothes-washers Hope that this helps you!

Q: Do you have to use pods or can you use liquid soap?

A: You can use either just needs to be HE detergent. I use liquid more than pods.

Q: How long does it take to wash a regular load and does it come with a fabric softener deposit?

A: Imelda, these washers can run longer than your previous washer, but as they use less water they can run for a longer amount of time and still use less energy. This washer has the Precision Dispense system. You can put in detergent, softener, and bleach in as necessary per load and do not have to wait to add the softener. It will be in the dispenser area, separate from the detergent.

Q: Stackable

A: Yes this unit is stackable. I have this set and it looks great and takes up less space once stacked.

Q: How to start dryer

A: undefined

Q: what does E 1 mean

A: E1/F9 means it's clogged and can't drain (needs a new drain pump) or the computer board is faulty.These machines suck if this happens because your machine locks and you can't retrieve your laundry so you ether buy a new one or pay for repairs that cost more then a new one. If you still have one just replace it,ours lasted 9 years with no lots of issues.
