Rated 2 out of 5 by VitaRob from No access to water filter You can not access the filter to clean it. Usually you can take the back off and remove/clean the filter. Not on this washer the filter is facing the front of the machine and there's no access to it so you have to pay almost $200 to have someone come out and clean your filter everytime it gets clogged.

Rated 4 out of 5 by No clean out from Washes clothes really well and quick. Clothes come out much softer and cleaner than with the previous washer. My only concern is that there is not an accessible clean out. The only reason why I replaced my older washer was that it stunk. But it at least had an access panel in the front. I had to drain that after every,(EVERY) wash. This unit cannot be cleaned. I don’t understand

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ange from Whirlpool Washer Replaced our old Whirlpool washer which lasted 6 years. The touch tab is fussy and I worry about it breaking down in the future. Otherwise a great machine. I believe they are discontinuing it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bigjim60 from BUYER BEWARE!! Unit is 6 months old and is having ridiculous electrical problems. Whirlpool customer service is a joke and nonexistent. Will never get ahold of a real person. Had to go through Home Depot to get a technician. Sensors are not mounted properly and the shaking causing wiring to shake out of connectors. Now because of all the wiring issues it needs a circuitboard. Now without a washer for almost 2 months. Save yourself the enormous headache and buy a speed queen.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Left coaster from Awesome machine but no access to the drain filter. I replaced my 16 yr old front load Maytag Neptune with this washer in late 2023. It has been awesome! Spins so well it seems the clothes are nearly dry. However, recently it wouldn’t drain. Unfortunately, I washed an old throw rug which I use in the garage for projects. The backing was falling off and plugged the filter which causes the machine to drain. This machine doesn’t have the option of cleaning the drain filter by openeing a door in the front of the machine. The tech has to come out and take the machine apart. Unfortunately the rubber backing sets up like cement. The first tech ordered the hose and pump replacement. When the other tech came out to install the parts he said he showed me pics of the junk around the drum area. He had another machine with this same issue and had to replace the drum. The drums are only made when needed. It is 10-15 week delivery. Therefore, I am going to have to buy a new machine. I can’t wait that long. As much as I love this machine I won’t buy it due to no access to the filter. I have Golden Retrievers. I’m surprised I haven’t had a plugged drain before. I could see their dog hair in the filter.

Rated 1 out of 5 by The Riley Roost from DON'T BUY - It's the worst washer I've EVER owned I'm going to start off by saying I never write reviews - Now I'm going to start with this complaint: This washer is awful because it's constantly leaking on my floor. I've tightened the hoses and checked the drain hose. All are sealed and dry and bone - It looks like it's coming from the bottom. You can't get to the drain filter, and now that I have finally gotten to the filter to clean it and put everything back together, NOW it's throwing error messages and not able to drain and tells me that it has suds SD error message, but we didn't put any detergent into the machine AND it's on drain and spin which shouldn't be introducing water or detergent at all. I called the customer service people to see if they can help, and they say I have to pay $300-400 to get it fixed, and it's not ever 18 months old.... I wish that Whirlpool would make this right and stand by their product, but I've only gotten answers that require me to pay even more money to try to fix this, and they can't guarantee a fix that'll be last.
