Overview

Product Description

4.3 cu. ft. Closet-Depth Front Load Washer with Load & Go™ XL Dispenser

Match your family's routines and your space with a closet-depth front load washer that still offers plenty of room for bulky items at 4.3 cu. ft. capacity. Fill detergent once and skip refills for 40 loads with the Load & Go™ XL dispenser. And when you need help removing everyday stains, use the front load washing machine’s SteamClean option.

Load & Go™ XL Dispenser

Skip steps with the Load & Go™ XL dispenser. Simply add detergent once and skip refills for 40 loads.

Intuitive Controls

Let the washer guide you to the right cycle combinations or customize up to 35 of your own to get the right type of fabric care for whatever you're washing.

12-Hour FanFresh® Option

Keep clothes fresh for up to 12 hours after the wash cycle has ended. A built-in fan activates after the wash cycle is over, tumbling clothes for up to 12 hours so you can finish laundry when you're ready.

Steam Clean Option

Clean up after everyday light spills using only heat and 1-1/4 cups of water—no harsh chemicals or cleaners needed. Used periodically to clean light spills on the bottom of the oven, it keeps the oven clean and reduces the need for frequent self-clean cycles.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Charlie87 from I wouldn't buy this unit Ever since this front load washer was installed it always makes a horrible noise from imbalance when washing a load of laundry. It doesn't matter if it's a small load or a large load, there always is an unusual amount of imbalance and sometimes the wash cycle ends early because of it. The unit is level and is only on top of the optional storage pedestal. I can't imagine mounting this vertically with the dryer. The whole thing would topple over.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lauren from Do not buy! This washer doesn't work more times then it does. I have had SO many problems! It's always getting error codes and it's often very difficult to get them to go away. I'm currently standing her with a pile of nasty soaked clothes ans no way to get them spun out because this washer wont even turn on, yet still somehow is chiming. I've never been so frustrated.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Monaco1407 from Drain pump filer a nightmare Washer is ok except every time we clean the drain pump filter so much water comes out that we have to move the washer and take out the lower drawer to clean under it. Our floors are ruined and need replaced. Our LG was easy to clean and never got water on our floors. This will be my last Whirlpool.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Andrew from Started smoking not long after purchasing I bought this model 2 years ago and within only 2 years a piece inside that is supposed to last 7-10 years had already worn down and caused a situation where the washer actually started smoking. The customer service people are now offering me the equivalent of a coupon for another washer. It's a little alarming that they're not concerned with their products smoking after only 2 years. We used to be a proper country where blue chip companies like Whirlpool made products and stood behind their quality. Now they can nearly burn down your home and just offer a discount on a new unit.

Rated 1 out of 5 by UnhappyWhirlpool from Components start failing after a few years Very unhappy with this product. Costs about double compared to WFW5605MC, which would be OK if the machine lasted more than four years. Machine broke after only four years of fairly light use (family of three). Pretty much the entire machine started failing, including the main board (touch panel/control panel unresponsive) and the control panel failing, which then indicated an error code for the door (replaced), which then indicated the motor needed to be replaced. The machine worked well until it failed, and is much too expensive to replace or repair all key components (each failed component is $200-$300). Very disappointing and strongly warn all to avoid this product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by GLG1 from Horrible machine I hate this washing machine. The first one had to be replaced as it would shake and move several inches during the cycle. Repair people came out twice to try and fix it. I have a LG at my other home and it is so much easier use. This whirlpool is awful. The buttons are hard to press. The load and go won’t turn off, the wash & dry button won’t turn on. Horrible horrible machine.
