UNRELIABLE AND UNTRUSTWORTHY BRAND IN THE INDUSTRY
WHIRLPOOL'S PRODUCTS ARE THE WORST IN THE INDUSTRY!!!
I bought both the washer and dryer for my 80 years old parents for their condo. We had a total of at least 6 service calls/repairs on the washer alone in less than 8 months. The technician kept replacing the control panel which was deemed as the major flaw of the machine. It was a waste of time to deal with these service calls and repairs. They are denying such flaw/defect and refused to replace with another model. I am certain that WHIRLPOOL should already known this major flaw/defect on the machine – STOP SELLING THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS TO CONSUMERS! UNRELIABLE AND UNTRUSTWORTHY BRAND IN THE INDUSTRY!

Worst, most unreliable appliance I've ever had
My apartment building bought a couple hundred of these for a brand-new building. I am on the fourth replacement in one month since I moved in. I have done as few as one and no more than three loads before something breaks. I will never trust whirlpool again. My understanding from maintenance staff is that nearly every washer in the building has had to be replaced. I can't believe what kind of total screw-up happened in whirlpool's design/QA operation, but clearly the staff is incompetent. In addition, the controls are funky and not at all easy to use. DO NOT BUY THIS! The dryer is not much better - takes forever to finish and then it is still not dry - the sensors are inadequate.

Disappointing quality control
Like many other reviewers, my washer's control panel was very fiddly from the beginning. Pressing the power button to turn the unit on was fiddly and frustrating in itself. Then a few weeks into ownership, the unit stopped working and I had to replace it. It took about three weeks to finally get a replacement. The process of getting a replacement required about 10 separate emails and phone calls to their customer service. The replacement worked about a month and a half. The touch panel was also very fiddly. Finally the unit broke just like the last one. I'm now mentally preparing for my next Whirlpool customer service experience as I write this. My recommendation - stay away from the Whirlpool brand. It is terrible.

Okay but....
This machine actually is pretty good. You need to have small loads but the clothes come out very clean and for a smaller house with just two people it's just the right size.
My biggest issue is the presets. Our NORMAL cycle has somehow been overridden and the spin speed is defaulted at slow (not fast like it should be). No matter what I do (unplug and reset the breaker from the panel) i cannot get the machine to reset to factory settings. PLEASE PLEASE tell me there is a way to do this. I just want the computer to reset so all the presets just back to where they need to be. We are in the middle of COVID and it's not a great time to have any technicians stop by.

first time user of compact washer
I've used this washer three times since purchase and don't quite know what to make of it. It's quiet enough and good looking, but I'm not sure that it's getting the clothes clean. I can't see any water in the tub (altho I can hear it), and the clothes are getting wet so the water must be coming into the washer. It takes an hour to do a 'normal' wash so while there might be a water savings, there is the extended electric energy use which seems to negate the 'high efficiency' aspect. After the clothes dry, they have an odd feel to them, as tho not all the soap has been spun out. The jury is still out on this one.

Extremely finicky control board!
I bought this at the end of August, and it did not work. The control board failed, and the machine was replaced. I should be thanking you for that, but the replacement machine, after 3 loads of laundry reverted to demo mode (?), and required waiting a repair man to come reprogram it. After almost two months of trips to the laundromat (I'm 79 years old, and that hasn't been easy!), I'm almost afraid to use this machine for fear that the controls will fail, once again. I am very disappointed in a brand I always thought I could count on!

Avoid - DEFECTIVE Product
I bought this washer in early June 2019. It stopped working (was not able to select any options, get it to work, etc.).
I made an appointment to have it serviced. I had to take off of work in order to be present for the tech. The tech arrived, spent 2 minutes and stated the panel went and it needs replacement. I was then contacted 3 weeks later to be informed that the panel replacement is backordered and they would give me a new washer.
New washer arrived - and, in 2 weeks, it stopped working (today, not 10 minute ago from this review).
#1 - there is clearly a known defect problem, since the tech immediately identified the issue, and...
#2 - all the other reviews on this model confirm there is a defect issue
I have now scheduled a 2nd service call.
They should issue a recall and refund - this product is defective.
Do not buy this product - it is defective.

Never worked. Never will work.
Dear Customer Service,
I am writing in hopes of getting satisfaction on a recent Whirlpool purchase. On September 23, 2019, I bought a Whirlpool - 2.3 Cu. Ft. 10-Cycle High-Efficiency Compact Front-Loading Washer - White, Model No. WFW5090JW, through an online purchase from Best Buy. (Order number BBY01-805644473544). I shopped for a week and because I needed a 24-inch washer I had few choices. Unfortunately, I did not read the reviews before I bought the $900 machine. I have had pretty much non-stop problems since I bought the washer.
The deliverymen/installers from Best Buy were really great guys but were not familiar with the installation process for this model washer. They told me I would have to get a Y hose because there was only one water input connection on the washer. After a trip to the hardware store I realized that advice was wrong—there would be no way to differentiate between hot and cold water with only one hose. I called Whirlpool and was on hold for ten minutes before the woman told me there was no hot water input on the machine—that the washer had a hot water heater in it. She also explained that was the reason I could not use bleach in the washer. Neither of these facts were mentioned in the description of the machine on the Best Buy website.
After reading the reviews and many calls to Best Buy and Whirlpool I have believe this washer is made for mobile homes with limited plumbing options. I recently bought a new gas hot water heater and have no interest in using higher-priced electricity to heat my washer water. I regularly use bleach in my laundry and now cannot.
The reviews for the washer are troublesome, to say the least. The good news is my washer does not shoe or rattle. The bad news is that the washer hasn’t worked properly since the day I first got it. The power button has to be pushed several times to get the machine to turn on. The hot water is tepid.
It took four days for the repairman to come tell me it would take ten days to get the parts to repair the machine. I just spent $20 and two hours at the laundromat.
Yesterday’s conversation with Whirlpool resulted in the person telling me “Machines are made by humans and humans make mistakes.” Care counts!

Excellent Compact Unit!
Bought this awesome compact washer one week ago from Best Buy as an out of the box product. And I couldn't be more pleased with the unit. The features are great, the unit is very quiet, and it's easy to use. Of course the best part is it is COMPACT and fits very nicely into our laundry/mud room. With the trend of washer and dryer units becoming so big and bulky, I was so happy to find this alternative. The only reason I gave this a four star versus a five is that on the ground level, it is going to be a little difficult to drain and clean the filter as suggested in the owners manual.
