WFW94HEXL washing machine



Washer Highlights


Interior Features

  • Its stainless steel material prevents odor and rust buildup. A special cycle called Clean Washer cleans the tub using the optional Affresh washer tub cleaner.

  • By using the unit’s Direct Inject Wash System, stains on clothes are pre-treated with jets of concentrated detergent, while the water temperature is regulated accordingly with the washer’s Care Control Temperature Management feature.

  • Equipped with bleach dispenser and the option to use Oxygenated additives, the washer dispenses the proper amount of eco-friendly cleanser at the right time. The washer also comes with detergent and fabric softener dispensers.

    Exterior Features

  • A wide LCD estimated remaining time display, sits next to the washer’s front control. The control panel consists of digital buttons and knobs for user-friendliness. To make loading and unloading of clothes easier, a large door is fitted right in front of the washer unit.

  • There are several installation options for this washing machine unit. It can be stacked with a matching dryer, can be built inside or under a cabinet/counter, or perched on top of the optional 15-inch drawer pedestal. The pedestal can even help maximize space because its drawer compartment can hold laundry accessories like clothespins.

  • The 27-inch wide washer unit and 15.5” high drawer pedestal are available in Lunar Silver. The stacking kit is also sold separately.

  • Price History »



    How does this washer stand out? »


    This has been replaced by the WFW94HEAC which comes with more premium features, and is about the same price. This is still a feature packed washer and worth considering if you can pick it up on the cheap. It’s not being manufactured so the likelihood of getting it in a clearance sale could be quite high.

    Advantages
  • Heavily-soiled clothes are pre-treated with concentrated detergent by the washer’s Direct Inject Wash System.
  • The washer’s stainless steel drum prevents odor and rust build-up.
  • The water temperature is adjusted to the required level by the unit’s Care Control Temperature Management feature.
  • The NSF-certified Sanitize option uses temperature hot enough to kill bacteria and germs on clothes.
  • The Fan-Fresh option lets you wash now and dry later.
  • With Energy Star and CEE Tier III Qualifications, this washing machine ensures less energy and water consumption.
  • Hand-washing is simulated with the unit’s Cradle Clean Technology.

    Disadvantages
  • Laundry room upgrades are restricted because the washer’s door is not reversible.
  • The lint filter is not self-cleaning.
  • Although a Steam cycle is very useful, this washer doesn’t use steam in any of its 10 wash cycles.
