Welcome to our website! As we have the ability to list over one million items on our website (our selection changes all of the time), it is not feasible for a company our size to record and playback the descriptions on every item on our website. However, if you have a disability we are here to help you. Please call our disability services phone line at (252) 523-8933 during regular business hours and one of our kind and friendly personal shoppers will help you navigate through our website, help conduct advanced searches, help you choose the item you are looking for with the specifications you are seeking, read you the specifications of any item and consult with you about the products themselves. There is no charge for the help of this personal shopper for anyone with a disability. Finally, your personal shopper will explain our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and help you place an order if you so desire.

#1 Top Load Washer Brand Make your next appliance purchase an easy decision, with the #1 Top Load Washer Brand 8 years in a row.*

*TraQline unit share 2018-2026

5.2-5.3 cu. ft. Capacity Wash a regular load and a few delicate items in up to 5.2 cu. ft. total capacity. Then easily remove the Delicates Basket for even more room when you need it, perfect for large bedding or bulky items.

AI Wash AI Wash senses the size of each load and automatically adjusts the detergent level for optimal cleaning. With Delicates Basket option off, AI Wash automatically adjusts wash action as well as detergent level.

ActiveFall™ Wash Ensure your entire load is evenly cleaned with ActiveFall™ Wash*. Water circulation drives a cascading curtain of water to fully drench clothes while mixing with detergent to help reach every item.

*Available with select cycles

An American Company for Over 100 Years Whirlpool Corporation started in 1911 as a small company in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Today we are a global home appliance business selling products around the world. We are proud of our American heritage and ingenuity that have driven innovation for over 100 years.

Cold Wash Cycle Cold Wash Cycle helps protect fabrics and cuts energy use at the same time, adjusting wash actions and time while cold water saves up to 90% of energy.*
*According to Energy Star, 90% of the energy used to operate a washing machine is spent on heating the water.

EasyView™ Full-Width Slow-Close Glass Lid Enjoy a clean, streamlined look with the slow-close see-through lid that lets you easily check on your load while it s washing.

Hybrid Electronic Controls with LCD Screen Hybrid electronic controls pair a physical dial and dedicated buttons with a bright LCD display so every selection is clear before the cycle starts. The intuitive layout puts controls exactly where you'd expect them, with a sleek, modern design that upgrades the entire laundry experience.

Load & Go™ Bulk Dispensing Skip refills and get the right amount of detergent for up to 20 loads* with the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser. Simply fill the bulk dispense chamber with up to 1L of your favorite liquid detergent and the machine will automatically dispense the right amount based on load size and cycle settings. Smart alerts even notify you when it's time to refill.

*Based on an 8-lb load with Delicates Basket option off

PreSoak+ Give tough stains the time they need. PreSoak+ soaks from 15
minutes to 2 hours while ActiveFall™ Wash circulates water and detergent through the load. When soaking finishes, the wash cycle starts automatically-no need to restart or reset.

Quiet Inverter Motor The Quiet Inverter Motor uses a brushless, electronic design with fewer moving parts for a smooth and efficient operation with less wear over time.

*Compared to traditional Whirlpool® motors

Quiet Wash Cycle Start a load and settle in with minimal disruption. The Quiet Wash Cycle runs a regular load using the Quiet Inverter Motor, reduced spin speeds, and a unique cycle design to lower the operable dBA.

Removable Delicates Basket The industry-first removable Delicates Basket keeps delicates safe while regular, everyday loads wash around it. Unlike a mesh bag, this built-in solution separately washes items with gentle agitation and slower spin forces. All while protecting them from damage, snags, and tangling with the rest of the load. Squeeze & rotate the handles to easily remove the Delicates Basket for extra capacity in the washer, perfect for bedding and bulky items.

Smart Features with Whirlpool® App Be in control and stay connected from anywhere. The Whirlpool® App lets you start, pause, track progress and receive notifications when you're away. Plus, access specialty cycles only available on the app, or create custom cycles you can save right to your machine*.

*Features subject to change. WiFi & App Required. Details & privacy info at whirlpool.com/connect. Appliance must be set to Remote Enable.

Water Level Options Choose to use less water for an efficient clean or more water to help break down loose soils. This option lets you customize the water level to various depths so heavily soiled clothes get an optimal clean.*

*Bulky Items cycle only available with deepest water level."

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.
