Delivering Style and Innovation to the Homes of Today... and Tomorrow!
Enhance every home you build with stylish, innovative appliances that home buyers demand. Home buyers expect appliances that meet the needs of their everyday lives, are easy to use and reflect the style of their individual tastes. But, to provide appliances you will truly appreciate and will use for years to come, requires a higher level of commitment. Their commitment to quality, craftsmanship and style challenges them to design products that lead the industry in innovation and design.

This washer can be placed beneath the matching dryer to conserve every inch of floor space. Inside, the 4.4 Cu. Ft. provides plenty of room for your laundry. A CEE Tier III saves up to 70% water and energy and may qualify this washer for utility rebates. Twelve cycles provide you with lots of options when cleaning your clothes.

The estimated yearly operating cost is based on doing 8 laundry loads a week and the 2011 national average electricity cost of $.1109 per kWh. Your operating cost will depend on your utility rates and usage.

Features
  • Electronic Controls
  • Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.
  • Smart Dispensers
  • The Smart Dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This washer provides a three-compartment dispenser which includes separate compartments for main wash detergent, fabric softener, and bleach. The dispenser has large pour zones.
  • Deep Clean with Steam
  • This washer has a built-in steaming unit which is combined with the DEEP CLEAN option to provide multiple temperatures to help remove a variety of stains from garments.
  • Clean Washer With AFFRESH Cycle with Steam
  • This cycle uses steam to raise the temperature of the washer and makes the washer self-cleaning, flushing the machine's interior free of dirt and other residue. The use of AFFRESH washer cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach with this cycle will remove and he
  • Auto Water Level
  • This washer automatically adjusts water level for optimal cleaning and rinsing performance. Two sensors determine load size, load composition, and suds level, then the sensors adjust the water level to the proper setting. This eliminates guesswork. The wa
  • Larger Load Size
  • Because there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as a king-sized bedspread. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads.
  • Stainless Steel Drum
  • The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, helping to reduce drying time compared to traditional top-load washers.
  • High-Efficiency Wash System
  • Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads. It also lowers your water and energy bills by helping conserve resources.
  • Spin Speeds
  • This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however. This washer offers up to five different spin speed choices, up to 1300 rpm.
  • Heating Element
  • This washer has a heating element that automatically heats the water to the optimal temperature on select cycles. This enables stepped cleaning, a process in which warm water is brought in and mixed with detergent first, then the water is heated. Stepped
  • 6th SENSE Intuitive Controls
  • Intuitive intelligence "knows every load" determining load sizes, water levels, and how much cleaning time is needed.
  • Add A Garment
  • When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add A Garment Status Light will glow for the first 4-8 minutes. This washer allows a 4-8 minute period in which other garments may be added to a load.
  • Direct Injection Wash System
  • This washer channels 100% of the water through the dispensers to assure thorough rinse-out and mixture of all the laundry products before they touch any garments. The water is then sprayed from the top front onto the center of the load, providing even dis
  • Efficient Detergent System with Anti-Escape Valve
  • This washer has a specially designed valve that closes during the wash portion of the cycle so that 100% of the water and detergent mixture is used on the load. The Efficient Detergent System ensures that no water or detergent is wasted.
  • 6-Point Suspension System
  • Shock absorbers, 2 springs, and electronic controls are specially designed to help redistribute the load automatically and minimize movement of the wash drum during the spin cycle.

Save $50 on Select Energy Star Washers

Save $50 Off

New Jersey's Clean Energy Program recently announced enhanced incentives for residents recovering from Hurricane Sandy. If your home is located in a zip code designated as a "major" or "minor" damaged area impacted by Hurricane Sandy, you may be eligible for the $50 clothes washer rebate even though the rebate is closed to the general public as of December 31, 2012. (If you purchased and submitted an application prior to December 31, 2012 you do not need to take any further action).

Customers seeking the incentive for purchases after January 01, 2013 should submit a hard copy of the application, and also include a certification form. If your home is located outside the eligible zip code list, you may also qualify for the $50 rebate by demonstrating that you have experienced damage caused by Hurricane Sandy (to be evaluated on a case by case basis). Full information on Hurricane Sandy incentives is available at http://www.njcleanenergy.com/SANDY and they also offer frequently asked questions at http://www.njcleanenergy.com/sandy/faq.

Product Reviews
Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 10 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by failed after 15 months of use Purchased new, used 2-3 loads per week (family of four). At 15 months, the washer failed. Whirlpool tech visit cost $90, diagnosed a failed motor controller and internal water leak. Minimum estimate to repair (order a new controller unit and replace) is $490, plus additional for repairing the water leak (once the washer is running again.) Whirlpool said this falls outside the 12month warranty so none of it is covered. Time for a new brand of washer! 5/2/13
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ugh I purchased this machine almost two years ago. The unit bangs loudly at the spin cycle. The repair guy said do not fix this its too big job just buy a new one.???? 4/30/13
Rated 1 out of 5 by Beware This machine is like the old dishwashers......your cloths have to be clean before you put them in. This machine doesn't clean cloths. It puts about 1 cup of water per load, and you just can't get kids cloths clean with 1 cup of water. I'll never buy another front end loader. Everyone that voted this as a good machine, needs to check elsewhere, like Amazon on what an awful job it does. If you have a spot on anything, you had better use 1/2 bottle of Shout and scrub on a washboard befor putting in the machine, or it will still be there. 6/14/12
Rated 5 out of 5 by Whirlpool Washer Best product out there for the money! Consumer reports # 1 rating. Easy to use, efficient, sturdy. Front loading a must! Will last forever! 9/5/11
