WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.

Lid Lock

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be opened. After a cycle is started, water will enter washer and then lock. If you need to open the lid to add a garment after this point, you must press START/Pause and wait for the lid to unlock. The lid will only unlock after washer movement has stopped. Depending on when in the cycle you try to pause, it may take several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock. Press START/ Pause to resume the cycle.

Sounds

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and pauses that are different from those of your previous washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning of the cycle as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the agitator tests for load balance or moves the load. And, sometimes, you may hear nothing at all as the washer allows time for clothes to soak.

Top Loading Washer Use and Care Guide specifications

Whirlpool Top Loading Washers are designed to deliver convenience, efficiency, and an array of advanced features for effective laundry care. This use and care guide offers insights into the main features, technologies, and characteristics that define these innovative appliances.

One of the standout features of Whirlpool Top Loading Washers is their innovative Agitator or Impeller design, which ensures thorough cleaning while being gentle on fabrics. The Agitator provides a robust washing action, while the Impeller offers a more gentle yet effective approach for larger loads. This design maximizes the washing efficiency, reducing the time spent on laundry without compromising cleanliness.

Another essential aspect of Whirlpool's washing machines is their adaptive wash technology. This feature automatically senses the size of the load and adjusts the water level and wash actions accordingly. By optimizing water usage, this technology not only conserves resources but also enhances overall performance. Additionally, many models come with a variety of wash cycles tailored to different fabric types and soil levels, ensuring your laundry receives the specific care it needs.

Whirlpool also invests in reducing noise levels during operation. Many top-loading washers incorporate quiet wash technology, providing a quieter laundry experience, which is perfect for homes where laundry appliances are located near living areas. This emphasis on quiet operation is complemented by energy-efficient designs that help reduce utility bills while maintaining strong cleaning capabilities.

In terms of user convenience, Whirlpool’s intuitive control panels make it easy to select wash cycles, adjust settings, and access features like Delay Start. This allows users to set their wash cycles to start at a more convenient time, accommodating busy schedules.

To maintain the longevity of your Whirlpool Top Loading Washer, regular care and cleaning are essential. The use of a washer cleaner every few months helps prevent odors, and routine checks for debris in the drum and detergent dispenser will enhance performance.

Overall, Whirlpool Top Loading Washers feature a blend of advanced technology, effective cleaning mechanisms, and user-friendly designs, making them a reliable choice for households. Understanding and utilizing these capabilities will not only improve laundry outcomes but also extend the lifespan of the appliance. With proper use and care, your Whirlpool washer can be a valuable asset to your home laundry routine.
