Washer Highlights



Interior Features

  • Precision Dispense Concentrated bursts of detergent from the precision dispenser, with its removable laundry reservoir, ensures that clothes are thoroughly washed and can be pre-filled with up to 12 washing loads at a time. Fabric softener and bleach is released at the correct stage during the washing cycle.

  • FanFresh Technology with Dynamic Venting System You can easily select the built-in fan technology which gives you a pre-set option to tumble-dry your clothes, for up to12 hours (based on a 2lb load of lightweight material)

  • Cold Wash Cycle The energy saving cold wash option cares for all your clothes where a concentrated solution of detergent combines with the adaptive washing action, which provides you with a clean but gentle wash.

  • Energy Star Rating and CEE Tier III Qualified Listed in the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, the Ties III label is highly efficient, having advanced water and energy saving ability.

  • Up to 8 Hour PreSoak Option There is no waiting about when your clothes need to be pre-soaked prior to washing as the wash cycle begins automatically after the preferred time for soaking has been selected.

  • 6th Sense Smart Temp Controls Shrinking and color bleeding is significantly reduced with the 6th sense temperature care control management system.

  • Other Features There are many additional washing cycle option as well as the noise reduction and Quiet-Spin 360 technology; steam-enhanced cycles; tap touch controls and an allergen cycle that removes up to 95% of harmful allergens from your washing. The smooth stainless steel wash basket is resistant to odor and chipping.

  • Exterior Features LED Display The easy to select washing options have a LED display, showing the status of your wash and the time remaining. There is also a convenient add-a-garment indicator light for those forgotten items.

  • How does this washer stand out? »


    This washer is a step down from Whirlpools “crème de la crème” front loader which means it lacks the Active Spray technology but also comes in $200 dollars cheaper. This washer is identical to the $100 cheaper WFW88HEAC, except this one comes with 12 hour fan fresh, which kicks in after the wash cycle to keep clothes fresh, and has the precision dispense ultra which is more economical using 10 percent less detergent than manual filling the dispenser.

    Cutting corners at Whirlpool NEW
    by: CS Murphy

    I have learned that the problems with this machine were caused when Whirlpool started using an inferior material for the bearing and shaft assembly.In the first 2 years of production these parts were replaced free of charge but now repairs will run close to 1200.00. There is no recourse now except to bite the loss and replace the machine.The company realized the cost cutting efforts were not working so they made the change back but those of us that bought the machines early on have no recourse. Beware code F21. This will be your first indicator that you got ripped as well.
