- Many people have been asking me for an update on my washer and dryer. I bought them 2 years ago and made a video showing them. That video is very popular and gets a lot of questions. This video gives my opinions on them and shows various features. There haven't been any problems with them.
This is the second video I have about my washer and dryer. Links to the other videos are below.

I've been wanting to buy a new washer & dryer, and saw this set online at Lowe's. The first thing I did was look on TH-cam for reviews. I watched your first review and was happy to see an updated video. I will be purchasing my set this weekend! Thank you!
I have been pleased with them. Hope you enjoy yours. Thanks for watching.
see a lot of complaints about Lowes service and trust , coming from a guy who still buys other things from Lowes , not trusting appliances department
I'm so weird! I LOVE WATCHING MY CLOTHES WASH! It's so fascinating to me, I'm defeating the purpose of having an automatic washer, I sit my flashlight on the lid too and watch my clothes wash! I'm glad I'm not the only one out there! Great video ❤❤❤❤!
Thank you for this video. I purchased my set before seeing your two videos and I was actually worried. Now I’m so relieved!!
super great video, thanks for doing this. Just got my set yesterday and I never used a machine like this before, I thought oh no, it was going to be so scary to learn . You've given me hope :)
I agree with you as people see all that tub space and they overfill the machine. Therefore the clothes are not being given enough room to move around and get clean. I purchased the Whirlpool Cabrio in mid 2017 (in white) and they are still working just fine with no issues. I think the key with any type of washing machine is not to overload. I do not like the Pods but continue to use Liquid Tide and Vinegar as you said.. Thanks for the update.
Yes and over filling it is hard on the motor which would definitely make it wear out faster.
THANK YOU!!! My washer just took a dump on me and I am ordering this washer and dryer!!!
Its good love it, but it does not do good with powdered soap.
I have the same washer theirs a learning curve... overloading this washer won't wash close correct I have had no issues I've had it a year... try keeping towels with towels blankets with blankets etc...so it stay balanced
I have the white ones and they're doing just fine 2 years also! Lowe's on sale under $550.00 each, washing and drying as I'm posting right now!
Nice review. I have an 8040... knock on wood, I have really enjoyed. If I fill high with clothes I use 2 Tide pods. I think it is important to use a laundry cleaner when you get the light to clean the machine. I like I can clean my pillows in this. You are right, 5.3c.u. is HUGE.
Do you add the pods directly into the washer or in the detergent tray?
I bought the updated version of the Cabrio in 2020 in the same color. Love the look of them. The washer is trash already - 1yr, 4mos after purchase, the drain pump had to be replaced; 4mos later, the control board had to be replaced (waited 7wks for it); less than 3 weeks later, the washing machine is not working again. I don't think I will be looking at a Whirlpool this time. Such a shame because it is such a beautiful set. But going to the laundromat, esp for those 7wks, made me fall out of love.
yeah that sounds bad. seems like you got a lemon
having the same problem been 1 year but i will say it was slight used and was pretty cheap
I have this years models of the same pair basically and I’m not really liking it right now. Seems like it is not washing my cloths throughly. My eyes are always irritated when I wake up in the morning from washing my bedding. Like I said it doesn’t seem like they wash my clothes.
Thank you for sharing. Very informative.
I have added ONE set of queen size bed sheets, set the settings to DEEP water...and still, there are times when parts of the sheets come out dry and often quite twisted. As for dark clothes, even with the addition of vinegar in the final rinse, they often come out with a soapy film. The initial appeal of this machine was the size of the tub. Great machine to throw a lot of laundry into, not sure it does a great job of actually washing it. Thanks very much for the review.
Same thing here. The auto water level feature is horrible. Makes me waste huge amounts of water and electricity because I have to rewash clothe upto three times it doesn’t matter if I put small, medium or large. I have to wer the clothe before hand to fool the machine to add more water and sometime it adds to much water and clothe gets floats and doesn’t get washed.
Agree
It needs a agitator
Hey Michelle thanks for the video, can you please confirm if this washer throughly soaks clothes in the later cycles and rinses them until there's no more soap visible? I don't care if I have to use the most electricity and water, I just want to be sure my clothes are rinses correctly.
Thank you for this. Very informative!
I use the "Deep Water" method for Large/X-Large loads, and the laundry seems to be clean after being done washing.
The model numbers are located inside machines. Mine are white labels. The washing machine model number is located upper right corner of the tub area when you lift the lid. Same place on the dryer when you open the door.
I have the white one model
WTW7500GWO. I wish I would have bought the matching dryer. Can you tell me the model # for the dryer?
Thank you
I was not too happy with this machine when I first got it. It took a few washes to be comfortable with not seeing lots of suds like my old machine. It cleans great in deep water setting if you do not overfill with clothes.The h.e detergents are a must. They can be pricey though. I buy in bulk when I can. Perasil is my favorite but I have used Tide in a pinch.
It does take a little adjustment from what we have all gotten used to in a washer. Tide and Persil are a little more pricey. My man likes Persil best. I have to use fragrance free. I am a couponer/deal hunter so I buy at a lower price than most low end laundry detergent.
Bea Falcon yea I’m still not liking my washer like these ones here. Same problem doesn’t seem to wash my clothes good and not a lot of suds.
@@themandontaye it happened to me as well until I different detergents to get the right cleanness, and softness to get or laundry done right. The extra rinse is a plus when it comes to bedding, jeans, and big loads.
Very helpful video Michelle. I needed to know this.
Needing a new washer? For me I don't see a need for the agitator anymore. And I like that it saves water.
@@michellesfrugallivin agitators clean much better. And saving water isnt good
Wow, you got this at a great price. It’s now $642. I’m still going to get this one. I saw your first review. Thank you
I was fortunate the day I went shopping. Hope you like them.
Bought a set today at Home Depot - $1145 CAD each.
Thank so much for your videos!
Thanks for the video. Could I use the cold water dispenser to add more water before I started a cycle?
you can but I don't think it would actually make the level any higher. I think it would adjust for it. There is a deep water button which I use for larger loads.
Hi Michelle, my new set is coming tomorrow… May not be your exact model though. I’m nervous about the digital panel! You don’t ever use bleach for your whites? I’m a little intimidated using dispensers… do you just fill them w bleach/vinegar or the fabric softener and it dispenses automatically or is there an extra button to hit when you use them?
I don't use bleach unless I really stain something. I do use vinegar in the bleach dispenser. As far as I know washing machines in general run water or opens the valve of the soap, fabric softener and bleach dispensers for every wash you do. I haven't ever seen one that had a special button to tell it you added bleach.
bought the whirlpool washer/dryer a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. 2020 models are similar. i have the centre agitator. the detergent, fabric softerener, pre-soak tray, chime sounds are the same & mode/keyboard selectors are different.
i might need to buy anti-vibration pads. Got the machine as leveled as possible and there was a little shake during the spin cycle, or is that normal?
I don't know how normal it is other than every washer I ever used seems to shake at some time or other. And I think the larger the load the more it will do that. And like I said if it goes off balance too much the machine will stop.
My load & go isn't working, anyone know what could possibly be wrong? I just purchased last week.
I loved your first video! I’m so happy you did an update! I want this same set for our new home. Also laughed so hard at the close encounters theme song comment about the keyboard sounds.
LOL if I had any musical ability I am sure I would have been able to play that tune.
Hi Michelle- I just bought this same set and was hoping you could answer a question. I know you can disable it on the load and go dispenser if you prefer not to use it, which I have done. But where do you put the detergent if you are doing a single dose? I put it in the load and go thinking that is where it went, then disabled the load and go, but when the cycle was over, the soap was still in the dispenser and not used. Do you just dump it directly onto the clothes?
Are you meaning that yours holds a lot of detergent for multiple loads? Mine doesn't do that. I am always adding detergent into the dispenser. And really I don't think it would be a problem to just put it on the clothes. The old style washer I had before I would dump it right under the water so it would mix in good. You could turn the water dispenser on in the washer and pour your detergent into the water right then.
This is literally my issue… the soap is still in the dispenser
This lady sounds like a teacher for sure.
Anyone have the load and go? Mine doesnt seem to be putting any soap in any load. Ive ran it on heavy soil, the hottest temp, still no luck. Wth?
Hey, I am sharing your video to those on my channel having doubt about the machine.
Thanks!
Ok thanks. I just feel like people have to rethink how to do laundry with this washer.
@@michellesfrugallivin EXACTLY! I don't have the time to do an actual run video and so I will send them your way.
It's not a good machine it doesnt even have a agitator
@@GE1463 I was unhappy with that also. The impeller doesn't seem to be enough.
Thanks for this video! Yay :)
Has anyone have an issue with the detergent not being used up??
Thank you for this video. I just purchased mine yesterday and this video makes me feel better because I was worried. I bought some Samsung ones that didn’t even last two years 🥵
It has officially been 3 years now and they still work.
Mine too! I’m on the hunt for a new dryer, only because we paid to repair our Samsung washer...my dryer heat element went out 3 times in about 3.5 years. Never again
3 repairs on a Samsung unit can cost as much as a new unit. Factor in the years of service vs repair cost should tell you when you should just buy a new one. A new stater motor and motherboard plus service call and labor equals a lot of money. I do my own repair and parts are not cheap plus lost time waiting for parts. We had a Maytag purchased in 1987 and lasted without one repair unit 2006. Unfortunately no maker produces that type of reliability anymore. If you can get 5-7 years of service without any repairs then you have got your monies worth.
Ihave had this washer and dryer for almost 6 years i have had to replace the lock in the lid on the washer and the adjitater disc and onthe dryer the belt yes i love my washer and dryer but fixing it has been stressful. I am a do it your selfer due to financial reasons but now its shutting off mid cycle and powering down and I can't figure out whats wrong . .super frustrated ihave had to repair these every year
I'm having the same issue!!
We use a laundry Pure 2.0 with ours and it works amazingly well!
Is there a setting for bleach? I have the new model and I don't see an option. So does the bleach get dispensed when you pour it in the dispenser? Or does it dispense based on the type of wash you are selecting? Anyone know?
I think it dispenses it for every wash. I haven't ever seen a washer that has a button specifically for it. I randomly run vinegar through my washer using that spot for bleach. I never tell it to dispense it.
I have the same 2 washer and dryer for 2 years now and recently have had to have the tech 3 times now (luckily I got geek squad protection so I don’t come out of pocket) the touch pad where you select how to wash gets locked up only making a beep and won’t start the load, the problem is intermittent but not it won’t work period, the tech replaced the controller and a bunch of other part that fixed the problem for 2 months but then the same issues started happening. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this
I am currently having the same issue. Did you ever get a fix?
Thank you so much for sharing
Does your control panel steam up when using hot water? I can feel the air on the back left side of the lid so I'm guessing the condensation comes out through there. I'm curious to know if this is something normal, or something I should have looked at while it is brand new. Thanks!
I haven't ever seen that. You can see in this video how the glass was all steamed up when I showed inside. But there wasn't any condensation on the outside of the washer. Probably worth a call to there customer service.
@@michellesfrugallivin ...thanks!
Yes mine's does this as well.. I hope this doesn't indicate an issue 😔
Hey michele theres a manual on the left hand side inside the washer just slighly push down on the tub
I can't find anything about how to clean the filter out of this washer, I have the same exact model everything but I lost my manual can u help?
How to troubleshoot this unit ?
Does mold/mildew build up behind the tray you put liquid soap and fabric softener in? My Samsung does and I have to pull it out once a week to wash it out and make sure it don't build up. I'm looking for a newer set and really leaning toward this one!.
I have never looked at that. I haven't ever noticed any smells coming from the washer.
Yes!!! I have had it to happen and cleaned it so just keep it clean on a regular basis and you shouldn't have any issues.
Lately mines been smelling mildew how do I fix it
@@ms.venusflytrap838 maybe run some 50/50 vinegar water mix thru it?
I bought a washer like this but it as an agitator . I will receive it soon but I'm scared that it won't do the job as good as my 15 years old wirlpool. I just can fill it with so much clothes and there's no dirt left .. but you seem to really like yours so it's reassuring at the same time lol i just wanted a new one before it stops on me.
How is it working so far?
When you load your clothes, it should be in a circular motion around the basket. U should be able to the center of the wash plate when finished. That could be the reason why your towels became tangled...
To me always seems to happens when too much is put in there. I have tried various ways of placing the items in there. And it doesn't seem to be a good thing to say have 1 towel and a bunch of small items like socks. The towel will come to the top and spread out over top of everything. It is weird.
Trouble with lint balls showing up on my sheets when I pull them out of the dryer - I clean lint filter every load. Don't know if its coming from washer or dryer? Anyone else?
What thread count are the sheets?
If the sheets have any polyester in them they will do that.
Is it normal for it to rock or shake? We just got ours a couple days ago and we aren't overloading it.... Seems like it takes a very long time to wash also. But the shaking has me worried!
You might check the leveling feet. I do find that it can get out of balance. It will shut itself down. And you can stop it and open the lid and move items around to balance it. But I don't think it should be an every time thing.
It does have long wash cycles.i think that's because it use less water.
Also I lie my items around in a circle in the tub and try not to put anything in the center as with an agitator.
It seems to keep it balanced for me.
As far as the detergent dispenser... What if I want less detergent than recommended?
I use very little. I don't fill it up to the line. I typically use Tide HE. That being said I don't have really dirty cloths. My man has a front load and he uses even less detergent than I do. When he washes his work cloths he adds more.
I bought mine used n no book..im having problems I press buttons n sometimes I got stop n re start what do I do what to push to run a normal load from start
The button on the left wakes the machine up. Then you pick what kind of load you want and water temperature etc. Then to start it you hold in the button on the right for 3 seconds. It makes a noise for the lid locking so you know you held it in long enough.
Good Review, thanks
Tfs this video. I was used to putting my whites/towels in a clorox soak cycle in my old machine. Do you know how the Whirlpool Cabrio platinum soak cycle works? Please and thank you.
I have model WTW8120HW0
The lid gets wet every load...on occasions it sprays water leaking out the front side during rinse cycle.
When auto fill washing dog beds or large blankets, it leaves dirt and lint at center.
I have the non agitator unit.
Half load of sheets gets off center.
Blankets or towels...always off center and incomplete cycles.
I have tried fully loaded and half loaded...like items...both off centered themselves.
Any pointers?
I really wanted to like this washer, because of load and go and I spent over 1000 on this washer. 😢 I am disappointed. Maybe I am not using it correctly?
I started putting in on max fill and heavy duty.
Sometimes it doesn't get all the clothes wet on auto. 😬
It doesn't seem to sense well.
I came from fixitguy.
Try lying the items around in a circle.
I try not to put anything in the center as if it had an agitator.
@@blackberry4life482 Thanks for your reply. Yes, this does help. Annoying I can't just dump my hamper in. Who likes touching dirty clothes? I don't lol. I still don't think it cleans my clothes very well either...seems to miss spots on auto fill especially and sometimes leaves items dry and still visually dirty. Washing twice.
I place on max fill now and heavy duty wash. I added tape to direct the water vertically, so it doesn't spray out the front...I shouldn't have to do any of this with an $1000 unit. It shouldn't have any of these issues.
@@kristyo1645
I agree I don't think it gets all the clothes very clean it maybe my boys just get too dirty. 😀
I started trying to be near the washer when it completely fills using the deep water, which isn't deep like my old washer.
I pause it and use my wash stick like my granny did to give it extra agitation.😄
The new washers look good but definitely aren't as hefty as the older ones in my opinion.
Can you add soap to the clothes it self, I'm not seeing suds and I can only pour one full cup of soap at a time
yes you can dump it on the clothes.
Very good video thanks
My dryer starts for a min and stops and starts and stops because I think of the sensing but I don't know how to get it to just run
Sometimes I have to just put it on timed drying to get it to work. That mode forces it to run. Usually when the items are just damp and it thinks they are dry.
What do you think of the whirpool 4gwtw3000fw, 15kg ?Should i buy it ?
Oh I would never tell anyone to buy anything.
I have the same but my oxi stop working when my clothes finish I open the lid and pull the tray out and the liquid is still in there I don't understand could you help me please
maybe the drain hole in the tray is clogged?
People need to understand that these HE washers are different. I would not have one. That doesn't mean that they won't work if you use them per the directions. If your clothes don't get dirty, then these machines will work. If you have dirty lawn clothes, with grass, and dirt, you need water to wash away that stuff. But if you just have some minor sweat then you can put them in the sink with hot water and dish soap for 10 minutes and they will be clean. These machines are for a particular type of home. I use cheap dollar tree detergent and powder color safe bleach. My closes come out spotless. I determine the water level. I determine the length of the cycle. I determine the water temp. I do my laundry, not the machines brain. The other day I tossed out some 2 week old spaghetti sauce. I poured it in to fast and the toilet over flowed. I reached for 2 white towels and quickly cleaned up the mess. As I soaked up the mess with one towel I tossed it in the bathtub. I did the same for the second. Because the was the second bath, I forgot about the towels and left them for almost three weeks. I never use those towels or tub. The towels were brand new and had never been used. I was prepared to sacrifice them as cleaning rags. I filled up the speed queen with hot water. I added two cups of amonia. I let the towels soak for a few hours. I set the machine to Rinse, spin, and drain, with an extra Rinse. I filled the speed queen again with warm water, a cup of cheap dollar tree detergent, a scant cup of bleach, and fabric softener. I put the machine on heavy duty and walked away. When I came back 30 minutes later, the towels were spotless and white again.
Those towels were so.filthy I found bleached beans and crushed tomatoes at the bottom of the machine. I don't care what anyone says, no HE machine could have done that job. But that washer beats the clothes clean. My machine uses a hell of a lot of water, but I don't care. My clothes are always clean. Even if I add to many clothes, the machine never gets off balance. My clothes always come out clean. The worst thing it will do is trap the clothes next to the agitator and cause excessive wear. That's if I am careless, which is rare. These machines are beautiful, but that swishing and spitting water would never do in my house. I also cannot tolerate not being sure my clothes are going to come out clean. As with everything in life, it's a trade off🤷🏼♂️
You may have diminished the usefulness of your towels by adding fabric softener to the wash. Also, soaking them in ammonia was the real winner. I’ve heard countless stories about Speed Queen's superior wash action.🦾👏🏾
The Model and Serial numbers are usually inside the washer lid and dryer door.
I bought the washer and didn't like it from day one. It doesn't get my clothes clean even when not overfilled. I tested that by only putting in 2 shirts and 2 pair of pants and they came out with dirt still on them. Now only 18 months of having it something is wrong with the display/computer and is stuck on the first screen and won't start. They told me to reset it. Which I did but nope still same thing. To replace the computer costs more than buying a new washer.
I have this same set and my question is how do you clean it? My clothes have a smell to them and when the washer is done being used you can move the tub and hear water underneath laying around, so I feel like there’s just nasty water that keeps getting used over and over but I have no clue how to clean that out. Please help?!!
I use plain vinegar in my regular washes. This is a video I made about it. th-cam.com/video/_3ZCFwD56yc/w-d-xo.html
There is a "cleaning" setting on the washer but I haven't ever used it but you might want to do that and then go to a regular use of vinegar or run that cleaning cycle regular.
The water you hear is a liquid solution inside the plastic ring atop the drum that maintains balance in the washer. That smell is from using too much detergent and not cleaning the washer monthly. You’ll need to invest in some Affresh or other brand washer cleaner.
Does it have Drain and spin cycle??
Has your washer lid’s left hinge cracked yet? My machines are about a few years old and have been through two washer lids so far. The second lid that I replaced for over $200 just cracked in the same spot. Left hinge rusts out then cracks the lid. I’ve talked to other people who have had the same issue. Whirlpool’s customer service was useless. It’s obviously a defect, but they won’t do anything about it.
That is horrible to hear. I haven't had any issues at all with mine. But I probably average 2 loads a week if that much so it might be related to how much it is used.
Hi everyone, I have the same exact washer and dryer. Just this evening I tried doing a load of laundry, I can power on the washer, but no matter what button I push, I hear two beeps 'beep beep'. I can try pushing any button I want too, and its the same two beeps. When I hold down the start button, I hear the same two beeps. I cannot get the washer to start, please help!!
My washer does that for the start button if I just touch it quickly. I have to hold the button in 3 seconds to get it to start. I have had these a few years so maybe they made all the buttons so you have to hold them in a few seconds.
I see the label with your washer's Model and Serial number to the right of the detergent and softener tray.
I’ve been trying to find the filter on the washer machine. Have you been able to locate it?
no but then I haven't looked for it. I don't know that there is one but I will look into it. Cause if I have one then it definitely needs cleaning.
I’ve had the same set for over a year. Recently no matter what I set my dryer to it seems like it’s finished in less than 10 minutes! Has a his ever happened to anyone?
From personal experience I find that happens because the vent pipe needs to be cleaned out. It gets lint built up in it and the air can't flow right. And down in the area where the lint screen goes gets some build up in there.
Put it on timed dry. It will go the whole time. Learned that recently sorry I'm late lol
After many reviews it appears that the Whirlpool brand is plagued with issues. If purchased...an extended service warranty should be purchased.
I've had this set a year and my washer always stops mid Load and beeps f5.. I've noticed more when I am using hot water which I only do for my whites but currently I have a soaked Load and I have tried to do it multiple times today and I am extremely annoyed!
I haven't ever had that code. Looks like it is because of the lid lock. People suggest unplugging it so it resets the machine.
@@michellesfrugallivin thanks for the tip! Aside from this issue it's been a great set! I'll let uk how it works when I try it.. I got so mad yesterday I ended up ringing my clothes out by hand and unplugging the washer and left it like that.
@@anleighra oh I have had to do that and it is no fun. good luck to you
How do you clean it I got mine 2 years ago to but I want to deep clean it is okay to make another video
A couple times a month I add a cup of regular vinegar when I wash my towels. I put it in the bleach dispenser. Vinegar is a good cleaner and sanitizer. Plus I have hard water so it helps clear water deposits too.
The numbers on the manual is Not the actual model number. The actual model and serial number should be inside the lid or behind the control panel on the back!
What model is this if you don't mind checking Michelle
I have the same one the washer turns on but the interface won’t change. Do u know how to fix it
I don't know any thing about how to fix that. :( I would unplug it and start over.
best review thank youuu
Does the lid, on yours, get sprayed with water every load? Big or small.
I haven't noticed it getting sprayed with water. All the water flows out the bottom of the detergent tray. Maybe you aren't getting the tray pushed back in all the way.
@@michellesfrugallivin thanks for suggesting that....it is all the way shut. It sprays water from the left of dispenser and at fabric soften and at bleach dispenser (if selected) and in the front right tub. It is quite odd.
I noticed our model numbers are different, as are some of the features. (Sigh) I guess I got a more difficult model.
@@kristyo1645 I just thought of something else. Maybe you have really high water pressure coming into your house. My pressure is lower than normal because I had to put a flow regulator on my water line because the water company was increasing pressure in my area. Increasing it enough that they said it would damage things hooked into the line if we didn't put the regulator on it. You might call the water company to see what kind of water pressure you have in your area.
@@michellesfrugallivin ok. I will check that. Thank you!
Just looked at this model at the store and if they install it they will only use water hammer resistors with new hoses. If I want to use my current hoses without hammer resistors they will not hook it up.
The standard is to always replace your hoses when you get a washer. I don't have a water hammer resistor. Washers are not difficult to hook up yourself. Plug it in and attach the hoses in the proper place and I believe there was something on the bottom to hold the drum in place during shipping. I had the store deliver mine and then installed it myself.
How do u change the language on the display? my husband set it up now its on spanish.
Wow. Didn't know that was an option. You should do an internet search. The manual is probably online.
Did you ever figure it out ??
Have the same dryer and it's making a terrible noise and can't find any info on how to open it up and fix the belt....
oh I hate to hear that. I haven't had to open mine up so haven't looked into that. If I ever do, I would be making a video on it. People really like my "how to open dryer videos". Which that doesn't help you now. Usually I find that there are screws that you can't see unless you turn upside down and look at it. And then some of them have clips so that after you get the screws out you have to slide the panel to release the clips.
@@michellesfrugallivin - thank you! Ended up having to replace the belt and pulleys. It’s working again and no noise! ** In order to remove the top you need to take off the back control panel and then slide the top forward. After that it was obvious how to remove and access the rest of the machine.
@@DPCPhotos oh nice thanks for the info
I removed the cable and put it back few times but no light no power shown on the machine. Door is locked and wont open. Surprisingly load is very small. No water seen in the machine as its a Whirlpool to loading machine. Seems like load is done but nothing is happening
Do not know what to do
Maybe check the manual to see if there is an over ride to the lock. I haven't looked into that but think that I should. And the maybe call Whirlpool customer service
I cannot get my dryer to get hot. What settings do you put your dryer on?
That sounds like a problem. I mostly use the cotton, jeans, and towels settings. If you have had the dryer for a while, the vent where the lint trap is can get clogged up any where from that lint trap to the outside of the house were it ends and I when mine gets a lint build up on the outside of the house on the flaps that cover the vent pipe the dryer won't heat proper. I have to clean it about every other month.
@@michellesfrugallivin they’re brand new I got them Tuesday.
@@daniellejasmine96 yeah that is a problem. There is a button that sets the heat level. So say you pick "jeans" then you can pick the heat level which I think there are 5 levels. You just tap the button and the little lights below it change. If you haven't gotten it to work yet, I would talk to the place you got it from.
Hi I just got WTW6120HW2. I'm learning it's features. My concern is Bleach dispenser. So let's say I want to wash whites and I put Bleach in the Bleach dispenser. On my next load I want to wash a dark load. No Bleach will be on the dark load? Right? The Bleach dispenser will use all the Bleach from the white load? It will be safe??
It should. I haven't ever put bleach in mine. I do put vinegar in the bleach dispenser to clean the washer and after that load I never smell vinegar in the next load.

@@michellesfrugallivin when do you put vinegar? And how much .
You run what kind of cycle?
Do you have a video doing that?
@@93tiln.hernandez84 I add a cup of vinegar in the bleach dispenser once or twice a month when I am washing towels. I have hard water here so I think it helps clean out hard water deposits and cleans the machine. And it helps freshen the towels. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant. Sometimes I add it to my jeans too. I don't have a video but that is a good idea. I will work on that.
@@michellesfrugallivin Hello 👋
I understand that you put vinegar in your Bleach dispenser. My question Is, Do you put it when washing whites? Or run a cleaning cycle?
2nd Question, How much vinegar?
3rd Please share what vinegar. The dark or white kind? Store brand? Distilled
There's so many out there, I just want to keep it simple. Thank you 😊
How do you deep clean this washer machine
Use the deep water setting and hot water and put a cup of vinegar in the bleach or laundry soap dispenser is what I would do. But haven't ever done that. I keep mine clean by using 1/4 cup vinegar on a regular basis with my regular laundry washing. I made a video about this very thing a couple months ago. I haven't had any trouble with any dirt build up or smells.
Love this always dreamed of having this. Can you please do another update on how it’s doing 2021
I might do another video seeing how much people want to know about this washer. I will tell you that it is still working same as the day I got it. I haven't had any issues with either appliance.
I just got these. How do you wash bras?
I have always just tossed them in the washer with my whites and don't put them in the dryer. I guess I am too lazy to get one of those mesh bags and do them separate. The only thing I could say is a problem is that if I have the load too full the cloths can really get twisted together which is not good on the bras. Unless it is blankets I don't fill the washer more than half way.
@@michellesfrugallivin Thanks for the reply. My bras get crazy twisted if I don't put them in a pillowcase or mesh bag.
Hi any idea where to clean the washer filter?
never thought about there being a filter. I will look into that and make a video if I find anything. :)
@@michellesfrugallivin There is no lint filter on the washer.
Ty
My washer turns on but wont let me switch settings and this happens every time and it’s annoying
have you tried unplugging it, kind of like a computer reboot
Whirlpool owes u some money, i was about to send my washer back until i saw ur video. No joke. Is there a way to just run a spin cycle? The paper work with the washer explains all the self explanatory stuff...if they just had better instructions the washer isnt bad.
Yes I think they owe me a lot for making the video. There is a drain and spin button on mine. Runs 12 minutes.
My first unbalanced load I sorted them then ran a rinse and spin, 49 minutes. WTH
@@notconcernedwriting yeah i tried to just rinse and spin before too and it did a full run...idk y. Sorry
Well, after watching 1st review and now this, we bought the white ones
I hope you will like them.

If it is off balance, how do you balance it?
If it stops itself which it has done to me, then I opened the lid and moved stuff around, shut the lid and push the start button. I see it wobbling around I push the start button to stop the machine so I can open the lid and move stuff around.
@@michellesfrugallivin Thank you.
My washer keeps cutting off mid cycle. Please HELP!
The only time mine cut off in a cycle was when it got off balance and it displayed a message ofbal.
They’re called U bolts.
Just ordered some they get delivered tomorrow, sounds like we made a good choice moving away from Samsung (super expensive parts smh)
Probably just paying for the name samsung seeing that they are the fashionable electronics company these days
Very expensive. Parts I replaced lasted 2 years. I bought a whirlpool top loader 5.3 cu for 1100$ at Lowe’s recently to replace a top of the line Samsung front loader. The Samsung didn’t waste much water, but it just flopped the wet clothes on top of each other. The rinse was not much of either. I miss our old 1987 Maytag washer that really left our clothes clean and in less time!
Is this WTW7500GC??
That is probably it. This is me looking online and not at my washer.
I just got them
These new whirlpool can’t beat the old one. My old whirlpool finally died on me after 12 plus years. All I gotta say about this new one is “what a damn headache!!!”
Yeah this one doesnt even have a agitator
My water faucet button stopped working in the first 6 months! Can’t find a fix!!! GRRR
You make me want to take mine apart to see how it works 😆
@@michellesfrugallivin lol… me too! My husband and did… he put a new switch in. But it shouldn’t have broke that easy .
The model number tag is on the right under the lid!
Ok
Michelle's frugal living can you please give me the washer model number? Thanks
@@michellesfrugallivin WHAT IS IT?
Did you see it? What is it?
What store did you buy them at and what city, state
Charlie Wilson's in Clarksville, IN
You got a great buy, they gone way up in price.
@@DHKEYWEST1, You're so right. My pair cost me $2300 at Best Buy. We bought it last week, 6/2/2021
@@andrenefinn704 That machine is worth 300$ you def got scammed
I have the washer and right now I hate it the soap won’t dispense and the dispenser is
Always full with the soap
I haven't ever tried taking that tray out that the soap goes into. You might see if it comes out and check behind it to see if there is something blocking the openings.
Just picked up a pair of these bad boys today
Nice
