update on Whirlpool washer and dryer - 2 years later 

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'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 RU-vid 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'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!!! My washer just took a dump on me and I am ordering this washer and dryer!!!

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.

Thank you for sharing. Very informative.

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.

Thank you for this. Very informative!

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!

Very helpful video Michelle. I needed to know this.

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 🥵

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.

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.

Thank so much for your videos!

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 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

We use a laundry Pure 2.0 with ours and it works amazingly well!

Thank you so much for sharing

Hey, I am sharing your video to those on my channel having doubt about the machine. Thanks!

This lady sounds like a teacher for sure.

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.

Thanks for this video! Yay :)

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.

Good Review, thanks

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.

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.

Very good video thanks

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.

best review thank youuu

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 use the "Deep Water" method for Large/X-Large loads, and the laundry seems to be clean after being done washing.

Thanks for the video. Could I use the cold water dispenser to add more water before I started a cycle?

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🤷🏼‍♂️

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?

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?

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.

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!

Love this always dreamed of having this. Can you please do another update on how it’s doing 2021

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!

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...

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 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?

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?

What do you think of the whirpool 4gwtw3000fw, 15kg ?Should i buy it ?

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

My load & go isn't working, anyone know what could possibly be wrong? I just purchased last week.

Hey michele theres a manual on the left hand side inside the washer just slighly push down on the tub

I’ve been trying to find the filter on the washer machine. Have you been able to locate it?

As far as the detergent dispenser... What if I want less detergent than recommended?

Ty

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.

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

Well, after watching 1st review and now this, we bought the white ones

After many reviews it appears that the Whirlpool brand is plagued with issues. If purchased...an extended service warranty should be purchased.

Does the lid, on yours, get sprayed with water every load? Big or small.

I just got them

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?

Just ordered some they get delivered tomorrow, sounds like we made a good choice moving away from Samsung (super expensive parts smh)

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

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 see the label with your washer's Model and Serial number to the right of the detergent and softener tray.

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.

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

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.

Has anyone have an issue with the detergent not being used up??

The Model and Serial numbers are usually inside the washer lid and dryer door.

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

Does it have Drain and spin cycle??

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?

How to troubleshoot this unit ?

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!!!”

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

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 cannot get my dryer to get hot. What settings do you put your dryer on?

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??

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 the same one the washer turns on but the interface won’t change. Do u know how to fix it

Just picked up a pair of these bad boys today

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!!

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!

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

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 just got these. How do you wash bras?

How do u change the language on the display? my husband set it up now its on spanish.

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....

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

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?

Hi any idea where to clean the washer filter?

How do you deep clean this washer machine

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.

I have the same ones I just bought them

They’re called U bolts.

If it is off balance, how do you balance it?

Is this WTW7500GC??

What store did you buy them at and what city, state

The model number tag is on the right under the lid!

this washer is the biggest pos we have ever owned. it goes out of balance when you least expect it.. next thing you know the room is getting bashed by the machine bouncing into the walls

My washer turns on but wont let me switch settings and this happens every time and it’s annoying

My washer keeps cutting off mid cycle. Please HELP!
