About This Product

Care for the whole family's fabrics with this large capacity top load washing machine. The Smooth Spiral stainless steel wash basket helps prevent snags and the two-way wash action agitator thoroughly cleans fabrics. Choose your water level on any cycle with water level selection and wash a load in as little as thirty minutes with the Quick Wash cycle.

Highlights

  • No matter which wash cycle you choose, Water Level Selection lets you select Auto Sensing to adjust water based on load size or the Deep Water Wash option to help break down loose soils with more water
  • Help protect fabrics from snagging with this stainless steel wash basket that gently guides clothes during the wash
  • Give your clothes a deep yet gentle clean with the two-way wash action agitator, which turns one way while the basket turns the other, for a cleaning motion that moves fabrics smoothly through the wash
  • Get the extra space you need to wash bulky items with this 3.8 cu. ft. capacity washer
  • Skip a trip to the laundry room with Soaking cycles that start washing whites and colors as soon as they're done soaking
  • Throw clothes in the wash at the last minute with the late lid lock
  • Wash a small, lightly soiled load in as little as 30 minutes with increased spin speeds to remove more water so clothes can spend less time in the dryer. (Based on a 3 lbs. load.)
  • Keep your whites looking their best with a cycle that cleans thoroughly while gently caring for your clothes
  • Care for colored fabrics with a cycle that uses cold water to provide optimal fabric care
  • The Bulky/Sheets cycle takes care of bedding as well as those bulky winter jackets.
  • Clean your delicate items with an intermittent wash action and slow spin speed, to provide everything you'd expect for gentle fabric care.
  • Ensure dirty loads get the care they need with an extra rinse to wash away any lingering soils or detergent.
  • Run the AFFRESH cycle every 30 washes with an AFFRESH Washer Cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washer.

      I bought this washer without an agitator, can I purchase an agitator and add it to this washer?
      ByDec 27, 2024
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      This model Washer is designed with an impeller. An agitator can not be added to it. We hope this helps.

        If a full load only gets less than half a tub of water then how can that clean?
        ByDec 16, 2024
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        This model uses an impeller in the bottom of the wash basket to rub clothes against each other to clean, instead of filling the tub with water. For additional information, please refer to the Use and Care manual located on the product page.

          I've had this washer for just over a year and now it does not work. It seems to enter flood mode every time we use it and must be unplugged after every use. It is no longer useable and will try to drain and fill at the same time. How can this be fixed?

            This is confusing as one part of this description does not say you can remove the agitator and make it to an impeller like some of the whirlpool washers but when you go to the further description it says it gives you the choice. Which is it?

                What Customers Say
                Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                Customers say the Whirlpool top-load washing machine offers a large capacity and efficient cleaning performance, particularly appreciating the auto-sensing water level feature. While many users find it easy to operate with straightforward controls, some express concerns about the noise level during operation and the effectiveness of the agitation, especially with larger loads. Overall, the machine is viewed as a reliable choice for everyday laundry needs, though some customers wish for more manual control over water levels and additional features like a fabric softener dispenser.

                You’ll get precisely 12 good months
                If nothing else, I appreciate this product’s reviews for letting me know that it’s not just me dealing with the issues this washing machine has presented. Just like the rest of these recent reviews, barely a year after purchase (15 months) the control board and connected pressure switch are defective and need to be replaced. Currently the machine does not function at all, it gets clothes wet and then just makes the drain pump run 24/7, with error codes F8E1 & F3E1. I have no doubt that once I replace this defective piece the washer will work great again. However as indicated by everyone else here having the *same* issue as me, this is clearly a manufacturing issue that is either refusing to be recalled, or was intrinsically designed from the start to barely outlast the warranty. Either way, very frustrating.

                  Do not buy
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would never purchase this washer it’s terrible. It doesn’t clean my laundry no matter the size or setting I choose. It hardly uses any water some clothes don’t get wet even when I do small loads with deep fill. It also doesn’t seem like it agitates at all the cloths seem to be in the exact place or very close to where I put them in. This has been the worst experience with a washer I have ever had.

                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was came in our brand new house. We had a front loader before. It works really good and has a lot of wash options. I am very happy with the washer overall.

                      Do not waste your money!
                      Absolute garbage worst washing machine I have ever had. No matter what cycle I chose or how small or large the load nothing is getting cleaned I have tried everything. The “Deep Fill” doesn’t even fill the washer half way. My cloth come out just as crusty and dirty as they did when I put them in the machine.

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far this top loader does what it's supposed to do. My only rebuttal is i wish it would agitate the clothes better and take on comforters better.
