Rated 1 out of 5 by David from Broken after 1 year Washer will not power on after 1 year of use. Power button and control panel appears to be defective. Service appointment is 4 weeks out and parts for new control panel/board are on backorder with no ETA. When it was working, the machine did a good job washing clothes but did vibrate and make noise a lot. Really disappointed in quality of washer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Never_again001 from STAY AWAY!!! Bought this less than a year ago. It always has something wrong with it. We had to fix the electronic panel after 6 months (stopped working after 3) and it still doesn’t work the way it should. It glitches often and will stop a wash randomly. According to whirlpool this is our fault. Ive never experienced this with any other washer and none of my friends have this issue with theirs. It doesn’t drain the laundry either, I’ll open it up and there’s a puddle of water and the laundry is soaked. I cant drain and spin because they are delicates and the spin will damage the clothing and I can’t wring them because again, they are delicates. 90% of my clothes need to be washed on delicate cycle which makes my life very difficult. I bought this brand new thinking it would be at least ok considering how much it cost and I’m very disappointed and angry.

Rated 1 out of 5 by AA3A from 1st one leaked, 2nd one randomly beeps and chimes We bought the washer and dryer in the fall of 2019. Just a few weeks into owning them the washer leaked from the bottom all over. The only reason we caught it before it caused damage to the house is because we had an electrician over doing work and he yelled to me that water was coming from our 1st floor laundry through the ceiling and into the basement. Had service out and couldn’t reproduce the issue. We ended up buying water sensors for around the washer. We continued to have leaking from the bottom of the machine sporadically for months. We had about 5 service calls in all. Some replacing parts and others with no diagnosis. Finally after the 5th call and more leaking I called Whirlpool and demanded they replace the machine. 2 of the deliveries for the replacement were damaged so badly in transit that the delivery team wouldn’t even offload them from the truck. We finally received the replacement and a few months in we now get random beeps and chimes from the machine while it’s washing, but no error codes or anything on the display. It doesn’t seem to affect the washing thankfully, but I’m about to have service out yet again. In addition to that, just out of warranty our matching dryer is not working properly. It dries for a while, stops, then dries again. It seems to overheat or thinks it’s overheating. A load takes hours to dry as it slowly stops and starts again. We tried cleaning all the lint screen areas and the ducting, but no luck with that solving the issue. These machines are awful. I wish I could get my money back.

Rated 2 out of 5 by John K from Died in less than 2 years. Cannot get parts. Bought this machine in July 2019. Two months ago (March 2021) it developed problems with its main controller board. The spare part cannot be sourced and is no longer available. Luckily, I had a "repair or replace" warranty with Home Depot, which covered what we paid for the washer (minus the warranty and delivery). Still, the reason we went with a Whirlpool was because of it's supposed "quality". My crappy LG washer that came with the house lasted longer...

Rated 3 out of 5 by mmoore355 from Frustrating Controls We purchased this washer and matching dryer 18 months ago to replace a 15 year old Whirlpool set (that still functioned, by the way). First I will say, the washer does clean well and I am surprised at how much I like the automatic detergent dispensing tank. What I don't like (and what should be so much better when you spend almost three grand) is the electronic controls. They are supposed to retain in memory the settings you last used, but now after 18 months you cannot rely on that at all. Randomly, the detergent dispenser will be turned off, or other settings seem to change on their own. If I'm not very attentive each time I turn the unit on I'll end up washing a load without detergent, or with water temperature that changed from the last time the setting was used. Also, the cycle signal on both the washer and dryer seem to have a mind of their own. They are cumbersome to set, and constantly change. I need it on the highest setting but about every other use it turns itself down to a lower setting or off altogether. To sum up, if I were rating only the cleaning aspect, this would get five stars. However, I expected more out of this expensive of a purchase regarding the controls. You shouldn't have to be constantly worried about settings changing randomly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cibi from Great washer - best ever owned I bought this model washer about 6 weeks ago when our old one literally died doing its last load. Gratefully the appliance store had this one in stock and delivered it in 3 days. The control Panel set up is logical and easy to use. I like the detergent dispenser displaying “low detergent” if I have not added enough. I did not think that the clothes washed in my previous washer did not smell clean but amazingly while removing clothes from my new Whirlpool I noticed that they smelled really fresh and clean. The washer is quiet and so far is stable in that the spin cycle is smooth and efficient. The opening on the tub is generously wide to make loading and removing easy. The tub has an interior light - how wonderful- which goes off after the door has remained open after plenty of time to unload a wash and load the next. I like the charcoal grey color and would like to have a matching dryer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jamie12345 from Do not order from whirlpool! DO NOT BUY WHIRLPOOL PRODUCTS! I ordered this washer and dryer set in April they were broken upon delivery and needed to be replaced. Sure it happens no problem. My problem is that it has been TWO MONTHS since I ordered and I still have no machines which is Only adding to the original cost of about 2,000$ since I have to go to the laundry mat every day for months now. I have called several times to inquire about the delivery of the machines and have been told different dates of delivery each time. I was also told that the machines were out of stock which clearly isn’t true because the site clearly states they are in fact in stock. If I would have known I’d have this much trouble just ordering a washing machine I would have just went to a store and picked up a floor model. You’d think I ordered a unicorn or the holy grail.
