Whirlpool 2 in 1 (WTW5057LW, WTW5057L) removable agitator washer demo

- EDIT June '22: I'd go with 3 out of 5 stars. I'm finding I have to use "deep water" too often. Reading over the comments added since I posted this, I think people make a lot of valid points. I personally still find the agitator helps, but only with deep water enabled. People also mention that I loaded the clothes wrong. You are supposed to clump them, not layer them. Who reads instructions anyway?
4 out of 5 stars. A quick demo of the new 2 in 1 removable agitator Whirlpool washer WTW5057L. This is not an official "he" (High Efficiency) machine as rated by EnergyStar, however, it has many "he" concepts. My apologies for mentioning "he" too many times in the video.
Likes:
- the optional agitator
- paddles that actually agitate and are more than nubs
- deep water option
- right-sized for most people, not a huge machine
Dislikes:
- No countdown timer or decent feedback as to cycle progress
- The sounds can be unpleasant for some people. All washers make noise though.
- You have to download the cycle guide to understand your choices, they didn't include them in the user manual. www.whirlpool....
I have this machine and really like it. At first I thought it wasn't filling properly, and found this video to verify it was working as it should. I bought the machine specifically for the removable agitator so I could wash my quilts, and it does the job. For these larger items, I add the extra rinse and deep water options. (Pet hair)
The machine IS noisy and seems to shake while spinning. Do not make the same mistake I did at first, and overfilled the washer with a ton of clothes...just testing the waters.
Bought it today. 18 year old son broke previous one. 🥴
I love the removeable agitator as well for bulky items
Overloading is the number one cause of poor washing results.
Mine is making alot of noise from the back and shaking is it normal??
I'm considering this machine for similar reasons: Pet Hair and the ability to wash large items less frequently than small things (best of both worlds) but I'm getting so many mixed reviews! Do you still like yours? Have you tried the little floating net things you add into the washer that helps scoop pet hair off the top? I'm wondering if they would work on the deep water setting
Just ran my first load. Yes, it's loud and a little funky, thanks for the video and all the comments. The instruction manual was pitiful. 2nd load of sheets went better.
I just bought this unit and did my first load using 2 each Gain "he" pods on the heavy duty cycle with the agitator in. My laundry filled half the basket. This load took somewhere between an hour to 90 minutes to complete with the extra rinse. The machine is indeed louder than my old GE agitator type but not nearly as loud as some have complained about. As for washing, the impeller and the agitator both work well on this cycle. The washer will wash for several minutes before it starts to turn the laundry over so don't panic if you see dry laundry sitting on top in the beginning minutes. I assure you every bit of my load turned and washed multiple times. My clothes came out fresh, clean, cold, and almost dry. This will be interesting because it does take longer to wash than my old machine for the same size load but my clothes should dry in half the time from where it's spin cycle is so much better. I'll keep you updated.
Can you put a queen quilt in the washer?
They were almost dry because they didn't get washed. They're still dirty.
Will the washer fill up heavy duty like it’s not HE
@@secessionnow4133 u should be able to do a queen. Remove agitator, use the right amount of HE detergent and choose bulky items , so that u get deep water. I haven’t tried it with my queen comforter, I don’t have a bulky comforter, but it’s still quilted , sometimes comforters are super bulky, in this case, call Whirpool customer service.
@@ella8874 Why should the agitator be removed to wash queen size? I have not had an agitator hurt my sheets and quilts. Looking at this model as I need a new washer and seeing you should remove agitator concerns me.
This was one of the best washing machines reviews I’ve ever watched! You are entertaining!
So I’ve had mine for 5 months now, and I really like it (agree with basically everything in your review), but my heart is still with a Speed Queen TC5 (old fashioned make and functions) and I’m having one delivered Thursday.
Removable Agitator is:
Pros:
1) Good wash action with lower loads, but the more you fill it, the further they get from the bottom impeller, and less they get agitated.
2) Lots of setting options
Cons:
1) Noisy (but I don’t mind that)
2) Little balance funky on super small loads
3) Not much agitation from the agitator
So anywho… my husband works in a mine, and we simply just need a basically commercial machine, residentially…. The SQ TC5 is that.
My over 20 year old Maytag washer finally broke - and it was loads of laundry day so I rushed out and purchased Whirlpool 2 in 1 WTW5057LW (never researched) what was important to me was price and the product name - First wash was loud, constantly balancing the clothes in basket clicking and clacking, clicking and clacking, I was unable to select the level of water to use (two choices), lint on clothes after the wash cycle completed, it took longer for this wash to be completed probably with all the clothes balancing it was doing and I had a small load of clothes. My Maytag washed and rinse took less time and so much more quieter with no lint - just didn't have the money to purchase another Maytag washer - This whirlpool 2 in 1 looked good but I'm not happy with it.
Bought this exact model about 2 years ago. It's the only major appliance I"ve ever regretted buying. Bought it because of the removable agitator but don"t find that feature particularly useful as it really does not move things in the water as it needs to. I use the "deep water" mode for most everything!
I wish I had my 22 yo Maytag back.
The only useful functions of the "agitator" are to 1) stop the user from placing clothes across the impeller during loading and 2) help avoid items from moving and getting stuck atop it during the course of the washing process.
Hi Glene it's good seeing you post !
Darren Aldspinboy. ✋
I hope your well and friends and family.☮️
😫 My washer of 16 years broke and my husband and researched a lot of washers from lowes and home depot. Unfortunately we bought this same washer that's in the video. After owning it a few months I can honestly say it's the worst designed washer EVER. Why it spins around dry "balancing" the dirty clothes is beyond me. It seems like it's straining. The washer should fill up with water, agitate it and then drain. And the agitator doesn't work properly either. It never pulls the clothes down into the center of the drum. The noise from every cycle is LOUD. I'm very disappointed in this washer and WHIRLPOOL. Great video tho. I wish I would have seen it before I bought this piece of junk.
I totally agree. I'm so sad. This washer is aweful
I'm so disappointed in this washer almost bought it ,well moving on...
Same. 3 months and blinking "done". Can't get it out of this cycle and NOTHING from their service is helpful.
Me too, wasted my money. Going to get a Speed Queen. This spins and clunks and the rinse cycles are practically useless. Takes an hour or more for one load.
Damnit I just bought this today. I got it brand new but discounted. $450 delivered installed. So saved almost $200 retail… but I already miss old school pull the tab timed washer machines. Simple… not electronic buttons that can break
This is a good example on how the "HE" washers really don't turn over the cloths in the water like the older models used to.
Always use deep fill.. dont have one yet but our old hot point is acting up and id live to avoid trips to laundrmat for coforters etc
my mother got this same model n had no real information about it
SO I APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO !!
😅🙏 thank u much.
I just got this machine delivered today. It's so noisy compared to my old front loader. At the start of the load when the lid locks, i thought something broke off inside cuz it "snaps" so loud. LOL. First 2 loads I did seem to have turned out ok, but then did a load of darks and all my husbands work pants came out with white marks (detergent?). Not sure if it's because there wasn't enough water or what. I'm re-doing the load without any soap and it better be good or i'm going to be mad. I think i'll just start doing the deep water on every load. I'm pretty scared after reading all these comments. Totally having buyer's remorse.
I have the same washer and I get white marks Also! How weird I thought I was doing something wrong
We only use liquid, "he" detergent, so it isn't white. We use very little detergent, the stuff is powerful. Are you using powder detergent?
I hate mine 6 months old
This was very helpful, I thank you. You are right you just have to do a few loads and personal decide which wash cycle you are going to use. The lack of watch was a big change and I also was quite concern that it wasn't working right. I'll be more relaxed about it now.
Using the impeller feature is for lightweight clothes, the agitator is for heavy clothes like JEANS, towels, etc. The agitator is much more aggressive. This model give you the choice of actually having two machines in one.
This agitator is not a full size one so it is less active than the old school ones. Still better than the impeller but not by much. I don't understand why it doesn't fill up at the beginning and then begin agitating instead of agitate, fill water, agitate, fill water for more than a half hour. Driving me nuts.
Thank you very much for the review after seeing this Washer I can now cross it off the list. I really don’t get how whirlpool puts out such weak agitation washers. I guess coming from vintage washers that have powerful agitation it takes a bit to get used to seeing this wash action.
The added agitator to the wash plate is really just a gimmick I don’t see it doing very much.
Glad I could help! Although I'm having pretty good luck (using deep water), I thought showing ya'll my exact experience would be useful so you can make up your own minds.
Our previous Korean brand "he" washer had its own issues, but I think it did better in top load "he" style washing without worrying about agitators or deep water.
I'm having trouble with this washer also. It's very stressful for me since I'm disabled. I just want a regular washer that's reliable and works like it should.
Where do you put the fabric softener
there are only three top load machines (GE/Hotpoint, Speed Queen, and Maytag Commercial for the home (Whirlpool) that fill to the top and agitate like old school washers that we all grew up with and remember. I have the Maytag Commercial (available at Loew's) . Wash cycle takes 29 minutes and clothes are fresh and clean and agitator does not tear up or wear out clothes at all...uses more water but that is what I want and willing to pay the slight difference it makes in my water bill. Had this machine for 3 years and matching dryer never an issue, slightly noisy but so what it's in the laundry room. Why people don.t research and care about these small but important things is beyond me
I do and we still researched our purchase. We need a place that have machine to test ourselves.
I will look into these brands thx
I have 12 y/o GE kitchen set that still runs great
Looks like the agitator should go clockwise more often than counter-clockwise to get the clothes to rotate through the tub. If it just goes left-right equally, clothes don't move top to bottom.
thanks for showing this review on this machine I just bought one and was really confused I've had top-loaders in the past and felt like they didn't wash good enough without the agitator but then I have items that are more bulky that the agitators in the way so I thought this concept was a good idea
same! this is my first time with a washing machine with a removeable agitator...and i feel like it doesnt wash my clothes well....not sure how the ones with no removeable agitators wash their clothes..lol i feel like its not clean. and even watching it i feel it isnt doing anything to the clothes lol
@@dannydanny8510did you figure it out ?
@@brandonjoseph1489 i use heavy duty and use deep water....and before i start the wash i use the faucet feature to soak the clothes so its a little heavy when the washer senses the load and it really. fills it up which makes the clothes actually move around better.. lol thats the best i could do.
(Comment updated after a few weeks of usage) --The spin cycle will do this with only a few clothes - wobble and be awful. I found out and confirmed after a few weeks of usage, the washer needs to be at least 1/2 full to 2/3 full of clothing. That is what is expected design-wise. Then the spin cycle is much better. Still not totally quiet and still, but very acceptable - I don't have a problem with it at all. Make sure the machine is very well balanced (front / side method like in the machine instruction). Quality of wash very good - (I've been using the agitator).
I just want to be able to fill the basin and let stuff soak. Is that even an option? I have washable pee pads for my dogs and I really want to be able to let them soak with oxi clean but the water with the faucet option just drains out. Why can't they just include an actual instruction manual that explains how to use the different cycles?
Where do you add the softener?
We just bought this washer and we took the five-year extended warranty. When the five years are up, this thing is going to the landfill. Honestly, I'll be taking my clothes to the laundromat periodically for a deep washing. Luckily, our clothes rarely need more than a light wash because a light wash is all this piece of junk can do.
I have this same washer and can’t find compartment to put fabric softer. Help
How do we put fabric softner in there!!
Im about to return this trash... It does not wash properly and hardly any water comes out. You have to have deep water on all the time. We are returning this thing asap.
Tell me you didn’t read the instructions without saying you didn’t read the instructions
Read the instruction I got the same thing and even Best Buy showed me. It’s garbage mines is being returned tomorrow
Your not being reasonable, lot of positive reviews!
I had a whirlpool cabrio, lasted about 5 years. Garbage . I have a speed queen now for about 7 years. Built like a tank. Sorry I didn’t get it instead of the whirlpool
I bought this washer, and it lasted for 6 washes. Called Whirpool. Took days to get through to them. They sent out a technician. He said the control panel was shot. Since it broke mid-wash, there was still a good bit of water left inside even after we emptied it with a cup and bucket. The technician needed another technician to move it because it was so heavy, This was going to cost an additional $99. Whirlpool denied the request to pay the extra $99. I sent both the washer and dryer back to Lowe's after only two weeks. Whirlpool is a terrible company. Never again.
I just bought the dryer that goes with this exact model washer and hooked it up had it running for 5 hours and kept blowing cold air on the high temp setting . Defective out of the box
I just got mine and I have only done one load my second load is not cleaning it ran all night I may end up sending it back as well the weekend will determine my decision
@@TrueReviewz-b3c how it turn out?
It's actually working very well . It was just a setting I actually love the machine
@@TrueReviewz-b3c I just bought one and waiting for it to come this week from Lowe's. I SOOOO hope it meets my expectations
Well for starters you did not load the machine properly and I don't mean that in a rude way but you're actually supposed to load the machine as if there was a post agitator in there putting things around the edges and that way that when it's washing it will Bloom as it's supposed to rolling the clothes over
Well what is the proper way to load it
Good to know mine came in today. Thanks
@@BluebonnetblueTexan637 your welcome hope you enjoy it!
What were they thinking when they designed this crap
How to bypass the piece of garbage lid lock?
Just received mine yesterday and I don't like it. Clothes came with dry spots on them i never seen that before until now. this washer sucks!
You night need to adjust the water coming in from the water hoses? Just a thought.
Wish I would've seen this before I bought it.
I chose this one because of the agitator. I love the old fashioned top loaders. This is junk. The agitator does nothing but move the piece of clothing next to it up and down. The clothes do not turn over at all, with or without the agitator. I had clothes that were still dry through the whole wash cycle. I opened the top and pushed them down. I can't watch every load. I don't trust that my kids could even use this machine successfully. Gonna try different types of loads. I hope I find one that works cause this was a lot of money wasted otherwise.
Mine isn't noisy at all. That's the only positive I got from all the negatives.
maybe you're loading it wrong? you're supposed to load clothes in "loose heaps," surrounding the impeller, never on top of it or circled around it. towels and sheets you fold,., heavier and bulkier items first, and lighter on top, smaller to medium sized loads work best with the impeller, and when loaded properly should all get washed, if you watch a piece of clothing closely it should slowly be pulled under, and resurface a minute later. the agitator is supposed to be for heavier type clothing, like jeans and towels. but really you shouldn't need to switch between the agitator or the impeller at all if you don't want to, just pick one. he top loaders require a bit more attention, you'll need to pre treat stains before washing, and freshly soiled or nasty clothing should be pre washed or rinsed and spun first, or soaked. if you're really determined to idiot proof it, and make sure they are clean, then leave the agitator on, and set a favorite cycle with the deep fill option, and tell your children to press the favorite button when doing the load, you won't need to worry as much about improper loading with the agitator on. the dual feature IS a bit of a gimmick, but that does not mean that both options are not effective or useful in their own ways. as for clothing not appearing to have gotten wet; it's possible that the high spin simply did a good job drying them off. it's a minor inconvenience compared to the old school washers, but the trade off is large- as the old ones used as much water as a large bathtub, and did a poor job of spinning the clothes dry, increasing time and energy used in the dryer. if most of your loads are large and fill the tub, then definitely use the agitator.
I find I'm using "Deep Water" more often if I suspect the clothes won't turn over. We do a lot of small loads and it is fine. Deep Water helps for big loads, but you'll use more resources (water, heating energy).
Our machine sounds more like an ink-jet plotter than a washing machine. Works good though but you never know when the cycle is gonna be over.
The only good top loader anymore is Speed Queen!! Can’t believe a brand like Whirlpool put this junk out there!
Great post... good concept with the removable agitator pole but this machine is garbage. The agitator does not pull the clothes down to the bottom or assist with rolling them over, If it was dual action it might work better or if the impeller fins were a little bigger you might see more of a bloom or rollover. for the most part the impeller just rubs the clothes on the bottom and not the ones on top. Your clothes might be wet but not clean. This machine is built for small to medium light loads.
It washes alright. You can't overload at all. My problem was where is the fabric softener dispenser is located on the machine. I started putting my settings on white wash, but I put the water on cold. And poured fabric softener in the bleach dispenser.
When do you add the fabric softener it doesn’t notify like a Samsung washer
We have this model and the agitator barely moves. We had a repairman come out yesterday and replaced the capacitor and still the same issue. I’ve reset and calibrated it several times, not sure what to do now, any suggestions are welcome?
Thank you for this video … i jus got this washer and thought it was a piece of crap …. It doesnnt clean all the clothes all the way vut i did like the glass on top option and the big drum but all in all im goin back to my front loader …. But I appreciated your video!!!
The Quick Instruction sheet shows that clothes are not supposed to be placed in the machine in overlapping layers. They are supposed to be added in clumps around basin/agitator. Maybe that makes the difference?
Yes. I don't recall reading that, maybe they changed the instructions based on feedback. I'm not saying I'm an expert, just showing how it worked for me coming from what I know. I also find that deep water helps with the turn-over. But that uses more water. Thanks for mention this, I hope it helps someone else!
How do you resume after pausing to add a item without restarting the whole cycle over again. Thanks
Como sele pone el suavizante de telas?
I just bought mine 4 days ago. I do not like the keypad you have to press the buttons down harder than I think you should hav too. I can see this wearing out over time. I do not like the noise and I bought because of the agitator feature. My clothes are not moving around as I think they should and I’m washing small loads. I don’t like that it doesn’t have a fabric softener dispenser or detergent so I definitely will be using pods. I still can’t figure out when I can actually add in my fabric softener because the instructions are not helpful. I still have my old LG washer waiting for someone to pickup. I may just bring them back in and have my washer repaired. I had high hopes of getting the top loader and going with the front loader. My only complaint was the mildew smell after washing a few loads but that doesn’t seem so bad after washing 6 loads of laundry in this machine.
I’m also trying to figure out about how to add detergent and fabric softener 🤦♀️
Does anyone else have issues with the washer leaving your clothes soaked when the wash completes? I thought the washer would automatically drain and spin the clothes during the wash cycle, but do I have to go back downstairs just to hit drain and spin every time before putting the clothes in the dryer?
Me too
Great demo! Thank you so much 'some guy on the internet'! Question: If you change the temperature to cold and turn off the machine (or run a full cycle and it turns off on its own) when you turn the machine on does it retain the previously selected temperature or does it reset to a default? I rarely use anything but cold water and really want a machine that you can set and forget but all the fancy new ones seem to have their own defaults...
How do you add fabric softener to this washer
I’m here to find out the same.
Same 😒
Before loading clothes inside bottom of drum
@@chalinosanchez6549 ok thx
@@MarkThesuperMariofan-xv4oe Incorrect. You wait till the Rinse Cycle, pause the Machine, Pour it in, and then re-start the machine. Putting it in before you start the cycle will stain clothes/make detergent useless.
I just got this washer today and it's pure garbage. The only thing I've gotten out of using it is frustration. Returning it tomorrow.
I got mine today and we put a load in and the water doesn’t disperse only for the Faucet idk what went wrong but very disappointed
I can't get my deep water to work. I could be something wrong. Any ideas?
Notice how the laundry was tangled because you threw things in without loading it properly if you loaded the machine properly, you would have gotten turnover without the auger…
We just bought this washer a few days ago and we are already going to exchange it for a different one. Never again buying a Whirlpool. It bangs louder than our 10 years old washer. Lid doesn't stay open when loading/unloading. Although the fabric softener light turns on, lid doesn't unlock. It also doesn't notify you when it's time to add fabric softener. I absolutely hate it.
When do you add fabric softener?
Not a single answer for this… my previous washer had a spot in top of the agitator to add softener. I guess with these machines you have to use a Downey ball.
Why does it stop after you put your clothes in and the water goes in and it just sits there
I just got this washer and for some reason when I hold the start it will do the lod locking sound like yours did, but then after a few minutes the the sensing and lock button just sit there and blink. I waited 30 minutes for it to do something and it didn't
I just purchased today this Whirlpool 5057 model. Concerning the jeans not being pulled down without the agitator in place, the included directions specifically say do not load items lengthwise. That may or may not have been in the directions two years ago when this video was made.
Is there a way to turn off “sense”???
Also, when my laundry is done the machine just makes noise and never unlocks the lid. I cant tell if its done or not. Wth is going on😢
I just bought this washer brand new 2 days ago and have only used it twice now its making a horrible squealing/screeching noise constantly during wash mode when the bottom pan and wall agitate around, 740 dollars I'm pretty goddamn aggravated I'm taking this piece of shit back.
I don't know how to get the deep water to work. Any ideas?
These types of machines always need more water than what the machine will provide or senses, and then the load will turn over repeatedly as it washes and everything gets washed correctly. If you don't add more water to the initial level, the load won't move around as it should and most items won't move around to be able to get washed correctly. Bottom line....SELECT A HIGHER WATER LEVEL AND YOU WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN JUST A VERY SMALL LOAD. IF ALL THE ITEMS ARE NOT FREELY MOVING AROUND AS THEY SHOULD, ADD MORE WATER!!!!!
I have this machine (it’s put up now, in trade for a Speed Queen)… even on deep fill, it has poor turnover and nothing beyond what touches the bottom impeller really gets washed. Unfortunately.
@@piecesoftheheart9231 I don't have a problem with mine as long as I press the deep fill button until the water level reaches what I need it to be for the amount of laundry. And make sure to press the Deep Rinse button so that you have the same amount of water level you want when the washer fills up again in the rinse cycle. I'm wondering if your machine is not working correctly at all?
Where do you add the softner?
There is no spot for softener. You have to use a Downey ball.
Have maybe washed 10 loads in mine now it won’t lock makes the noise then clicks again then the soak wash done and lid lock lights flash! What am I doing wrong?
From some guy who didn't know jack about these washers, the washer was not adding more water it was recirculating the same water. and dude you had way too many clothes in that machine. They have agitators for a reason. This washer is suspended on 4 flimsy rods. They are flimsy because the manufacturer is using way less water and recirculating the water. This to me is the saddest washer I have ever seen in action yet. They deleted the turbidity sensing but forgot to give this washer a life of its own possibly because of them rods. I can see some brainiac at MIT saying the people are pissed because of the super pc controls lets dummy them up but not too too much because we need to SAVE water to make energy guidelines. What water are you saving if you have to wash twice as many loads?
They need to make the tub way smaller so that the water will appear higher and will cover the clothes at least. The removable agitator is a great idea IF the tub was half as big, would probably be way less resistance on the motor making it last longer. I can distribute clothes quite well on my own I don't need a machine to FEEL if I put stuff in correctly. The inventors of this machine probably didn't know how to pour piss out a boot with the directions on the heel. -PawPaw
Is there a way to turn on buzzer to tell you it's done
How come my clothes are still dirty after a wash? I tried different cycles too.
it's A AUGER TOP SHAFT PIECE .
Not a agitator.
I'll have to say it's a bogus piece.
Meaning it is not independent.
It IS THERE FOR PEOPLE WHO PUT CLOTHES OVER THE WASH PLATE.
LOAD AROUND THE PLATE.
How does it work I have one do you have to hit the faucet but before u hold the on button for it to work
I have the same model but it won’t pass the sensing stage and makes a clicking noise
Yes, that part is so confusing and wierd. 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
@@apinspires78 turns out my water hose weren’t connected to the right places and my outlet for the washer didn’t have enough voltage to make it completely start
Where does the detergent go???
Need a diagnostic mode with fault code readings. Can't find anything anywhere
On back of machine there is a tech spec sheet if installer didn't remove it. Basically they assign a value to each of the top lights and when you get into diagnostic mode you add up the blinks and there is a chart to tell you what is wrong. Very frustrating
Many thanks for the video! Very useful!
Quick question: do you have to put the laundry detergent inside the washing machine?
Yes.. it’s annoying 😢
@@susy7914 why?
@@tianamarie989 Because it doesn’t have a softener dispenser..and the downy ball just works with downy softener.It’s kinda anoyying.
That's the answer I'm looking for. Looks like a yes.
Every time you say its turning over the close really well, it totally isnt lol. My 14 year old whirlpool broke yesterday and im in shock how bad ALL the new washers are.
I appreciate the review. Have you noticed the spin cycle is quieter with a balanced load/more clothes?
Yes. With more clothes, it usually finds a balance and is quieter. The worst is like one pair of jeans and a heavy hoodie. That will rattle a lot. Thankfully, it hasn't walked yet.
@@wxrayreview Thank you! I went ahead and ordered one based on your review
@@slowmedown89 did you get it yet? If so how do you like it?
@@danielledennis7436 sure did. so far so good. its a little bouncy on the dry cycle but not terrible. removable agitator and deep water option is very nice
@@danielledennis7436 - I absolutely love mine!
It’s important to load the clothes without the agitator in, just like you would as if the agitator WAS in it tho… like around the drum.. everything gets pulled down and around well that way! 😃
It was trying to pull the jeans to both sides at the same time because they were across the middle if you had loaded them along the edge around the basket they wouldn't do that it's in the loading instructions.
I guess my review is not what to do. I'll update my description.
How do you remove the actual washer plate? Had some glass pieces break in between the plate.
I just bought one of these machines. How do you add Clorox 2? There is no dispenser and I am told not to add it to the regular bleach dispenser. Thank you for any information that might be helpful.
Without the agitator, you are supposed to load the machine toward the outside of the tub. Read your instructions. There is aloso a specific setting for jeans duh. They also offer a chart online that explains how each setting works, which they should have included with the machine.
Does the washer automatically drain and spin or do you have to out it on this cycle after wash cycle??
Something looks wrong.
Can I use regular powder detergent on this washer?
Daughter purchased this exact new Whirlpool washer from Lowes. JUNK out of the box. They replaced it. 7 months later, JUNK did the same thig the first one did, still under warranty. Wait for tech. bad computer, none are available. after a month still not available, I was told to keep waiting. called and complained, miraculously, they found one. Wait for install. Two weeks later, installed, MORE parts bad. wait for parts, wait for tech to install. two weeks tech installs parts, MORE parts bad. Called Whirlpool again and talked to supervisor. I was informed they CAN'T do anything about it. keep waiting for more parts and installation. From August to November with four kids and a paid for washer that is still broken. It's their policy, I was told it would be replaced after three repair calls. They count the three calls as ONE because they were all within 90 days. These people are the worst I've ever experienced. They don't care after the sale.
I can not get my deep fill to work. Am I doing something wrong?
No it's just piece of shit machine
The noise from the spin cycle kills me! It’s so loud!
U must not like asmr sounds then 🤣 just wash clothing during the day🤷🏼♂️

the deep fill option. One washer I had only sprayed water on the spinning clothes for the rinse cycle. The clothes will get a build up of stink and
so to combat this they came up with the scent beads!! You have to stand there and see what the cycles do. I find the active wear cycle to be worthless.The fabric softener selection is useless. They showed me a model that had the trays, but the one they delivered did not. I selected BULKY for a queen sheet set, some towels and a few other items. I put in the liquid soap and used the water option to rinse out my cup. They say when you use
the water faucet option it is interfering with the sensor and sure enough, it turned the pump on to eject water before washing began. So, did it eject my soap too???? The SOAK light starts agitation (let's face it, there is very little agitation in any cycle) then it intermittently adds water SEVEN TIMES until it reaches the full DEEP WATER mark. After that it WASH (es) for about 5 minutes and then ejects the water etc. I need to add sanitizer to a few of my loads during the rinse cycle. I waited until the water was full and PAUSED the machine to empty it around the bin. It only agitated about ten times and then started to pump the water out. I think when I need to do this I will use the bleach compartment since the liquid will fall between the clothes bin and the tub surround and MAY mix with the water better once that cycle starts.
Unfortunately I will have to say that this is the worst washing machine I have ever used. The rinse cycle , which I use for disinfectant additive, is non existent. You need to be there to add rinse agents since there is nowhere to put the additive. Not only that but they don' even have a rinse indicator on the machine. I purchased due to the large tub and the fact that you can wash bedding. I was disappointed to see that you can not disinfect the bedding which is gross. The design is very poor. I went from a front load to a top load due to the poor design of the front load. It holds water and therefore has a bad odor from the nasty water sitting in it. It's not even energy efficient so I am not sure why the reviews are so good.
I just bought this machine at home depot and it does not work! It will not agitate im so pissed taking this crap back!!!
The home depot take it back ? I did buy one there and they didn't take back , I loose my money.
@@griceliacerrato2926 your paper work says you have 48 hours to return the day of delivering.
Where did you download the cycles guide?
www.whirlpool.com/content/dam/global/documents/201910/cycle-guide-w11365837-reva.pdf
I sure could not find the cycle guides
Es buena o no????
If I forget the softener I do I Rinse n spin only ?
This is one of the most frustrating things about this washing machine - there is no Rinse and Spin, only "Drain and Spin". I don't even know why you'd need that. So whenever I need to re-rinse a load I have to do a Quick Wash, a whole extra cycle. So wasteful. My landlord chose this washer, and it has a lot of issues, I wish they'd picked something else.
Have a new two in one without the detergent drawer. If I add colored soap to the bottom of the drum is will seriously stain any fabric it comes into contact. The stain will disappear after 6 or so washings. Tried to add the soap with the faucet running however the unit drains the water and soap when you start a cycle. Only path forward would be to cut all colored soap 1:1 with water or add the soap through the bleach port. Really poor design. Would have thought Whirlpool wound have anticipated this problem. Maybe they need to sell out to the Chinese!
Is there a reservoir for fabric softener or do I wait and add during the rinse cycle
No reservoir. U add to rinse , stop machine first, do not open lid while machine is operating. Then resume cycle by pressing start again. Keep the manual you got at hand , and download cycle guide at whirlpool.com
It’ll tell u all u need to know.
ella's right. You have to do it manually. We don't use softener (or dryer sheets) so it isn't a dealbreaker for us. It may be for some people.
@@ella8874 do you add detergent in the beginning or does it have to be pods?
@@jillianstevenson4264 hi, yes you add detergent first, then clothes. It seems weird, but that’s the design. I am currently using HE liquid detergent, will move on to pods once that’s finished, just to change things up. Make sure you are using HE detergent only. It is designed to rinse and leave no residue, since the machine uses less water, even while in deep water mode.
I use deep water mode often, unless it’s a super small load. But I never over load my machine anyway.
Just bought this for a family member I have a similar LG without an agitator it's so much fun watching China evolve into making A washing machine that actually works like the one's America made For 80 years then we gave them the blueprints and They slowly sh*t the bed like everything else they do
I hateeeee this machine the water never drains out the clothes it just sits there
I literally just go this washer today... I did a normal load and after an hour, it just kept cycling between "Lid" and "Sense". I couldn't tell if it was done, and the lid was locked unless I turned it off. I don't know if I have to return this. How long should these loads take? Right now I'm doing a quick wash, hoping I didn't get a bad one.
Would you tell me if you put the fabric softener in the bleach dispenser?
No, don't do that. The instructions are very clear. Bleach in bleach dispenser only. You have to buy a fabric softener ball dispenser. This device somehow releases at the right time (probably the spin). We don't use softener so it doesn't matter to me. I would recommend that if softener is really important to you, look for a machine with a dispenser, or try out the dispensing ball.
I bought this washer thinking that it would be awesome for it to agitate and be able to remove the agiter and wash my bedding
This design SUCKS it slow, doesn't move the clothes around and no rinse fill up
How TF can you get your clothes ect.. rinsed if it doesn't fill and move The water and fabric softener around and thru the clothes and ect
And Lowe's is being difficult about the exchange
You need more water in that bad boy,
This is not a good agitator washer because the agitator only goes left then right or back and forth motion. Does not make a full circle. Even in your video, you can see it never pulls down the clothes under water. It's a joke that it's there. Worth less........ The washer is not worth the money.
How about a update and some real cycle wash load would be nice.
I don't have time for another demo, but here's how it is going.
Someone mentioned here a great tip. Clump the clothes, don't layer them. This made a huge difference.
For lightly soiled clothes that adult office workers have, the default settings are fine with no agitator. Do not use too much soap!!! For work clothes (and probably kid's clothes), I put it on the max with agitator. Heavy duty, with "Deep Water" and "Extra Rinse." I hit stains with a rub of soap first. It takes almost 2 hours to run the cycle, but it works pretty well.
I have an attachment to my sink to add more water to my washing machine or else there's not enough water to clean my clothes. By the time the items on the top hit the water, the cycle is over with these new machines.
Mine works fine 😅
Thanks 🙏🙏😊
I've had this washer for 2 months and it's not working. 3rd whirlpool in 3 years. Absolute junk, never will I buy anything related to whirpool ever again.
