The Whirlpool WFW9050XW may lack a number of the more spiffy functions seen in other models from other series that are higher in level (for example, more unique options for wash cycles, an LCD display, audio feedback, among others).

The no-nonsense features makes it a dependable machine. It is qualified with Energy Star & CEE Tier III and features a 4.0 Cu Ft wash basket made of stainless steel that can handle up to 16 pairs of jeans in just one load.

Interior Features

  • The 3-Tray Detergent, Bleach, Fabric Softener Dispenser gives you the confidence to just load all that needs to be washed and go ahead and start the wash cycle. There would be no need for you to measure cups of softener or scoops of detergent that somehow get into your hands. Without the mess and waste, doing laundry is definitely more fun.
  • The 4.0 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Wash Basket has the capacity to wash up to 16 pairs of pants in one load. Larger and fewer loads definitely spell savings in energy, water, effort and time. There's just so much space for huge items like blankets and comforters. The wash tub does not rust of chip, so your clothes really stay clean.

    Exterior Features

  • The classic white color lends the washer a stylish, elegant look.
  • Among the controls located in the panel is a Add-A-Garment Indicator Light that lights up for thewash cycle's first 8 minutes, reminding you that you may still add items to the load being cleaned.
  • The door window is also transparent, so you can get a view of the workings of the washer.

    Dimension Specifications

    Depth: 30 1/2 Inches
    Height: 36 Inches
    Width: 27 Inches
    Volume capacity: 4.0 cubic feet

    Advantages

    With the unit being CEE Tier III and Energy Star qualified, you can be assured that the washer is helping you save on water and energy savings and may qualify for rebates from local utility companies. Its 1,100 RPM Maximum Spin Speed makes the unit one hard worker when it comes to wringing out dirt from your laundry items. With the washer's Care Control Temperature Management, water temperatures are adjusted to dissolve detergents, as well as to make sure that items do not shrink or bleed.

    The Deep Clean Wash System of the washer produces items that are cleaned to the optimum. Quiet Wash and Smooth Spin Technology features make sure the washer functions quietly and with less vibrations. With so many spin and wash cycles available, there's definitely one dedicated to each kind of laundry item that will not allow it to snag, bleed or be damaged.

    Disadvantages

    The machine may have too many bells and whistles for an ordinary user to really optimize. Regular users who are used to handling machines that have ordinary features may find this unit a bit intimidating, if not impractical, although there are models with more fancy features.

    Pros

  • Quiet and stable operation
  • Equipped with a variety of spin and wash cycles
  • Features are obviously top of the line

    Cons

  • Fancy features may turn off some users

    Another Control box gone NEW
    by: Anonymous

    well as many here have commented this machine sucks after 2 years, it is shot and no one in my area works on them

    control panels are more than $150 to buy not to mention the labor to install- so after paying 500 for machine should I dump another250 plus in machine to fix- I think not

    do yourself a favor stay away from whirpool and frontloaders in general.

    Easy to use, reliable, and efficient. I have had for 1 year, never a single problem. If i had to buy all over again i definitely would.

    Bad produce, Bad company
    by: British Columbia

    Bought this washing machine and in 2 months, the control box has gone. Plus I have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for the part. It is on back order. I guess they go through too many of these parts. I only did about 15 loads in that time too. Future shop was going to exchange it if Whirlpool ok'd it. But of course Whirlpool refused. Customer service is horrible at Whirlpool and so is the washing machine. Run away from Whirlpool and their affiliate brand names.

    broke after one month
    by: Cyndi Geiger

    This is by far the absolute washer I have ever owned. I have had it for one month and the control box is burned out. I was told it will take 10 days to get the part due to the part being back ordered. My clothes are all discolored due to the fact it only washes on the hot cycle. Clothes are steaming hot when removed from washer. Dark clothes have all turned gray. Do not purchase. Whirlpool will not replace this even though I am under warranty and even purchased extended warranty

    worst wash machine I have ever owned. I have had it for one month and the control box is burned out. I was told it will take 10 days for a part to come in because it is back ordered. It has caused all my clothes to be discolored due to the fact it only washes on the hot cycle. When I take the clothes out of washer they are steaming hot. Stay away from whirlpool products. they do not stand by them or try to make it right
