Product Description

5.0 cu. ft. Smart Front Load ENERGY STAR® Washer with the FreshFlow™ Vent System

This extra large capacity front load washer has a trio of freshness features with the FreshFlow™ Vent System. It's is the first fan-powered system with antimicrobial protection designed to help keep your clothes and washer fresh. The FanFresh® Option keeps clothes fresh in the washer. The Dry Drum Cycle reduces excess moistures in the drum and door. And the Antimicrobial rubber seal helps prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

Dry Drum Cycle

After you take the clothes out, close your washer door and select the Dry Drum Cycle. A powerful fan reduces excess moisture from the drum, rubber gasket and door.

FanFresh® Option

Keep your clothes fresh in the washer after a cycle. The FanFresh® Option uses a built-in fan and periodic tumbling to keep your just-washed clothes fresh until they're ready for the dryer, using less energy than you would re-washing your clothes.*

*Based on rewashing an 8 lb load on Normal cycle.

Cold Wash Cycle

The Cold Wash Cycle adjusts wash actions and time to help protect fabrics, while using cold water to save up to 90% of energy.*

*According to Energy Star, 90% of the energy used to operate a washing machine is spent on heating the water

Rated 3 out of 5 by Finally from Spin Cycle Issue Issues with spin cycle...leaves too much water in clothes; otherwise, pretty good. Like was times.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kev4 from Consistent performance Replace 12 year old duet pair about a month ago. Washer is excellent. New features; drum dryer fan, improvements in the door gasket and ability to drain the drum are highly functional especially for heavy use in a large home.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Trader from Just OK Some of the cycles are much too long. It has inadequate draining.

Rated 4 out of 5 by scooter2u from WFW6720RW Dryer works pretty good. Works pretty good. Have always had Gas dryer's so we will have to see... but so far not bad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shoe from This is a great Washer and dryer combo. When putting a load of clothes in both, they finish at the same time and it is great!

Rated 4 out of 5 by AnneA from Decent I don’t love the digital screen. I feel like it’ll probably have problems needing serviced in the future. I also don’t ever plan to use the app, so that feature is kinda useless to me. I really hate that the words on the screen during the setting to clean the washer say “cleanWasher”… literally, exactly as o typed it. There should be a space between the words and the c should be capitalized like the W is. The washer seems to work good though. I don’t like circle on the front of the machine where the drain valve cover is, but I never checked this feature on my old machine because it was in the back, so this is probably a good thing, to have easy access. The only other thing I don’t like, and will have to get used to, is that since it’s digital, I have to remember to press the power button before I can choose a cycle, whereas with my old Whirlpool machine, I could just move the dial.
