Whirlpool Washing Machines Reviews

I purchased a new Whirlpool washing machine from Menards, and it was delivered and installed today. After running my first load, I am extremely disappointed. This machine is supposed to wash and dry in one unit, but it does neither job well. The clothes did not wash thoroughly, and the drying cycle left everything damp. This is, without question, the worst washing machine I have ever used. It requires a full cleaning after every single load, and cleaning the door seal is a difficult, time‑consuming task. There is no lint filter, so the clothes come out with lint still on them. After just one load, it took me over an hour to clean the machine. At this point, it would honestly be easier to wash my clothes by hand. This machine is extremely expensive, yet performs like worthless scrap metal. I regret buying it, and I cannot recommend it to anyone. Model: WFC682CLW0. Serial Number: CF18 00028.

Parents bought a new washer and the sound it makes is annoying, never enough water to cover even a small load. Washed a pair of jeans that had bacon grease splatters and I just ended up washing them in the tub AFTER 2 cycles in the machine. Jeans came clean in the bathtub. Not to mention the amount of time it takes to machine wash clothes is ridiculous. Step up or step out Whirlpool!! You embarrass Tide.. Don't even want to give a star.

Stuck on draining cycle even after resetting washer, leaving it on all night, doing the reset function I found online, unplugging it for 15 minutes and nothing worked. The washer isn’t even 2 years old.

Purchased a washer and dryer from local dealer in August of 2024. The washer pump stopped working and apparently there was a recall. Whirlpool does not send out notices to consumers any longer. We contacted the certified repair company, and today is the 4th time they had to reschedule. If you are in Connecticut, Whirlpool uses Advanced Appliance Repair out of MA. If you own a Whirlpool, find your model and serial number and check if there is a recall. Again, Whirlpool will not notify you.

We bought a Whirlpool fridge December 22, 2024. It started having issues in January 7, 2026; I called service and was told that even the limited warranty was not going to cover my issue. I paid $446 for a service contract on January 7, 2026. The repair company they use in my area, Diamond Factory Services NE; diagnosed the issue in January and fixed it on February 18, 2026. The fridge has the exact same issue that prompted us to call in January, but both Diamond Factory Services and Whirlpool services are saying I need to purchase a new contract for them to come out and look at it again. The fridge was only $900; they would be asking me to pay the same amount over two service contracts. Absolute garbage product and terrible service from both companies. I will never purchase another Whirlpool product.

We purchased Whirlpool top load HE machine over a month ago and have had nothing but problems. This machine has a mind of its own...runs the cycles it wants to, my Wife has to run it through two or three spin cycles because the clothes are soaking wet. You try a cycle and DYOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT WILL DO...what a piece of junk. WHIRLPOOL SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR THESE PRODUCTS. Have complained to the vendor and waiting (two weeks) on a response...legal may be the alternative.

Bought a Whirlpool top loading washer in 2022. The motor is overkill. It’s very loud and the whole washer shakes, and the hose is banging against the wall. As far as washing, it does not even get your clothes, 100% wet. When you pull out things, there are huge dry spots. My first review was seen by Whirlpool and they contacted me and sent someone out. I told them it works the way you designed it, terribly. Whirlpool paid for someone to come out so they could tell me. Oh it’s too close to the wall is that that’s why it’s banging. NO, it’s banging because the motor is too much it spins things so tight in a knot that water can’t even get to all items. 70 years of washing clothes and I’ve never seen such a worthless piece of crap. Whirlpool said it spins like that so you’re drying time is less. BS. I have to wash most loads twice so that water actually coats the items before it spins into oblivion. Do not buy Whirlpool washing machines.

I bought the Whirlpool top loader with removable agitator washer and matching dryer in Dec of 2026, the washer started turning on by itself, not draining and just tried draining constantly even when no water was in there. Was out of a washer for 2 months until the motherboard was finally replaced, here I am a month later and the same exact thing is happening. Home Depot says I can't return it, Whirlpool just wants to put a bandaid on it and I want out of this set. It's a beautiful set, but that's all it's good for. Please save yourself the money and aggravation.

Bought top load washer 16 months ago. Suddenly one night it turned on, all by itself - we had not touched the machine. Only way to stop it was to unplug it. Just a bit scary - what happens if you're out of town for weeks - you have a washing machine that chugs away.... until the engine burns out, until it starts a fire? The service person replaced the circuit board? in 5 minutes and said this is a known problem with these machines. If it's a known problem, could they not have warned me? Recall maybe? Now I'm wondering what other zombie machines I have in my house!

I can't express how much I dislike this machine. I have anxiety just thinking about doing laundry waiting to hear if it goes crazy bouncing around, or has my clothes in twisted in a knot. I bought it because my old 15 year old Whirlpool machine finally died. I thought I'll buy another Whirlpool, what a mistake!!! It finally completely screwed up and after resetting and trying all the tricks it's done and so am I. It is the worst piece of junk!!! It's only 3 years old! Ugh!!

2 years and 1 month and I am having problems. It keeps acting like it is draining to spin. Guess what no water in the tub. I absolutely HATE this machine. A lot of money for a junkyard machine. No more Whirlpool appliances for me.

I have a Whirlpool WET4027EW0 model stacked washer/dryer that came with my rented apartment. While it's nice to have in-unit laundry, the washer is terrible. It doesn't fill all the way, if I don't deliberately push the clothes down into the water, they don't necessarily get wet because the agitator doesn't move them around enough. I've taken to adding water to the machine by the bucketful just to fill it all the way, and occasionally I've put the wash through two full wash cycles - one with detergent, one without - to make sure the clothes get really clean. There's nothing I can do because this is a rental, but I might save others. Do not buy this machine.

I bought a Whirlpool top loading washer and it stopped working in less than 2 years. The technician who came to repair it said he had seen the same problem several times. Whirlpool has installed a faulty pressure sensor on the main control model WTW4816FW3 with errors F1 E1, F3 E1 and F8 E1. A repair would cost 482.00. I have called, emailed, written to and had a live chat, with no response. I now have a broken washer from a company that is aware of this issue and doesn’t care.

Horrible! If you use the agitator the load will not balance. Needs tons of detergent which ends up leaving residue on clothes because there's never enough water fill. Does not save water because you need to "clean" the washer every month with Afresh, running a full cycle on empty. The washer will not run until you clean it. Plus Afresh is hard to find and expensive. I wish I could return it. Hope someone starts a class action suit against whirlpool. I will NEVER buy another whirlpool product. Used to be a great company, now makes overpriced junk. The supposed automatic detergent dispenser didn't work from day one. It takes 3 pods to do a regular load one you disarm the dispenser. I bought this washer in December 2024 & every time I use it I dread it. I will probably be going to a laundromat soon which does a better job because I will not spend a penny when this hunk of junk completely breaks down, probably within the year to "fix" it.

Just out of 1-year warranty, and the washer started making “draining” noise while the machine was off. Had to unplug to stop the noise. Shortly after the noise began, the machine stopped draining, rinsing, and spinning. Can get the machine to complete a cycle only by doing a hard reset, which makes washing a load almost a two-hour endeavor. This is a relatively new machine. Whirlpool demands an “extended” warranty of $35 for a 12-MONTH PERIOD to schedule a repair - which means we are paying an additional $420 for this 1-year-old washer. BUYER BEWARE. Read up on any Whirlpool washer you are considering purchasing, the internet is extremely helpful. Grrrr!!!! 😡

We purchased a top loader with the removable agitator. The agitator connections get full of gunk and have to be cleaned after each load. If it is not removed it grows pink mold. Then it stopped draining. Whirlpool knew the motherboard was defective but instead of a recall they waited until it stopped working and then let me know it was out of warranty but if I paid for a service call they would cover it as an exemption. Can we say class action lawsuit? The technician they send was shifty and magically had a new board in stock not on back order. Well the new board does all the same things of not starting, some loads are not drained well - and surprise just like before it broke - are not clean.

Bought new Whirlpool washer and dryer 1.5 years ago. Comes w 1 year warranty. 5 months after that warranty was up, the “motherboard” broke. Spend another $35/m a year to extend the warranty another year. The men who came out to fix said this is a common issue. They make it to break right after warranty. Scam artists. Don’t buy Whirlpool. Idk who you can trust anymore.

We purchased the Whirlpool washer with a removable agitator recently. I do not recommend this washer at all, primarily because of the noise. It has the most annoying, loud, whiny sound when agitating. It makes a clangy noise, as it starts, that sounds like it’s going to break down any minute. Also, steps to start, pause and unlock are not user friendly.

Don't ever buy a Whirlpool washing machine. Absolute garbage. It might last 6 months and then none of the warranty is honored. There should be a class action lawsuit. They should be put out of business. Worst company ever. Stay very far away.
