Adaptive Wash Technology with Active Bloom™ Wash Action

Additional Features

ColorLast™ Option

Give your most vibrant colors the care they need with our ColorLast™ option. It uses a precise combination of wash action, gentle temperatures and time to keep colors vibrant longer³.

Active Spray Technology

Active Spray technology virtually eliminates the need to pretreat clothing. It works to saturate clothes with a mixture of detergent and water by spraying the load completely and evenly. It’s gentle on clothes while still providing improved cleaning performance that helps fight tough stains.

Precision Dispense

Precision Dispense provides optimal cleaning by releasing detergent at the right time. Plus, detergents and certain additives – like fabric softener and bleach – get mixed with water before they ever touch your clothes. The result is optimal fabric care and preservation for every load.

Estimated Time Remaining LED Display

Always have an eye on how much time is left during any cycle with our estimated time remaining LED display. Part of our updated digital console, it illuminates your selected cycles, options and available choices and lets you know when you can remove items from the washer.

Smooth Wave Stainless Steel Wash Basket

The Smooth Wave stainless steel wash basket gently guides clothes and helps protect fabrics from fraying and snags.

Quiet Wash Ultra Noise Reduction System

The Quiet Wash Ultra noise reduction system helps keep operational sounds inside the washer and out of living areas. Thanks to sound-absorbing material and a compact motor around the wash drum, you can install your washer virtually anywhere and know you won't be interrupted. People who like quiet will love this Whirlpool® washer.

Quick Wash Cycle

Our Quick Wash cycle can wash small loads in as little as 28 minutes⁴. It uses increased spin speeds to remove more water so clothes can spend less time in the dryer, so you have more time to do what you love.

Automatic Water Levels

Automatic water levels regulate the amount of water based on the size of the load. Only the amount needed to clean is used, increasing efficiency.

6.1 cu. ft. capacity I.E.C.

Put more in each load with enough room to wash a king-sized comforter, thanks to our 6.1 cu. ft. I.E.C. Cabrio® washer.

ENERGY STAR® Certified

ENERGY STAR® certified models exceed government standards by over 20% to help conserve natural resources and save money on your utility bills.

Oxi Dispense Option

The Oxi Dispense option distributes oxygenated additives at the right time for enhanced cleaning results. Plus, it's an eco-friendly alternative to bleach.

Steam Clean Option

Add the power of steam to this stain-fighting option. It penetrates fabrics using increased wash action, rinsing and heat for even more help in breaking down deep soils.

Deep Water Wash Cycle

Take on stains with the Deep Water Wash cycle. It adds more water to help break down stains and improves the ability to rinse away soils.

Direct Drive Motor

The Direct drive motor is what helps our transmission system handle larger-capacity loads. It uses fewer moving parts so there’s less wear and tear over time.

EasyView™ Frameless Glass Lid with Slow-Close Technology

Create a quiet close, every time. Our EasyView™ frameless glass lid features slow-close technology to shut quietly. The lid also provides a better view of what's being washed and is quiet for an overall premium experience.

On/Off End-of-Cycle Signal

You'll always know when your wash cycle is finished, thanks to the end-of-cycle signal. This helpful tone reminds you when it's time to transfer clean clothes from the washer to the dryer. You can also turn it off completely.

Clean Washer Cycle with affresh® Washer Cleaner

Deep-fill the washer to clean even those areas that aren't normally reached by everyday cycles. Add an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet to the Clean Washer cycle for best results.

850-RPM Max Spin Speed

The Direct drive motor provides fast spin speeds of up to 850-RPM in the washer to remove moisture from clothes, so they spend less time in the dryer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DeniseOrtiz from I hate my washer and dryer We have been loyal whirlpool purchasers, we moved to a new place and needed a washer and dryer. We purchased the biggest machine, we clean king size quilts and blankets. I seen the top load with no agitator, loved the look of the machines. And that is we're it stops. I hate these machines. I still have stains on clothes. It does not move the clothes around at all during the washing. Clothes sit in the same spot as when I put them in. It states it is water efficient. I look inside there is like no water. When I use the cycle for towels or blankets, the machine practically fills up with water, but the blankets do not even move arround. The small agitator it too small and does not clean anything. Also the cycles are very long cycles. It takes an hour the clean blankets. That is just the washer, if you put in just too many towels, which it is supposed to handle large loads, and I use the fastest spin cycle too eliminate the water from the clothes. When they are in the dryer I have water all over the floor. The dryer cannot handle large loads of towels or blankets. The repairman said the dryer is doing too much work to dry and the condensation is leaking out of the back. So no fix. I will not buy these machines again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Keisha92 from This machine has been a problem since I bought it. I have had this washing machine a little over a year and it has been giving me trouble since I got it. It does not clean my clothes very well. I sometimes have to wash my clothes 2 or 3 times. Then after 7 months of use it started giving me the error code E3 F5. I called a repairman and he said it would cost almost 1/2 as much as we paid for the machine to fix it. I’m so disappointed that a machine that cost this much could be such a problem.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Qayla18 from Make sure to get a the extended warranty. We have had this washer machine for about a year and it has messed up. It makes a clicking noise and will not finish cycle. We had the option for extended warranty which we got. Now we have to wait for him to repair. We have been without a washer for 4 days. He said he works on a lot of these. They go out quickly. I don’t know if it is my washer only. But since the day we bought our washer, the clothes have to be shook out because the washer crumples the clothes all together and knots them up. My recommendation is it is a ok washer and make sure you get the extended warranty.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RPRatt from Love my Whirlpool I love the whirlpool the only thing I don’t like is actually my fault... the tub is too deep and I can’t reach inside of tub without a step ladder. I would recommend anyone 5’5 or shorter to get the regular tub size.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jerryann from Very efficient and quiet. Love the washer, but would not recommend for someone who is not a tall person. My only complaint is that it is hard to reach the bottom of the machine. Is great if you have large loads of laundry.
