Elevate fabric care and virtually eliminate pretreating. This Whirlpool HE front load washer features Precision Dispense, which releases additives at the right time for optimal fabric care. Detergent mixes with water to penetrate fabrics and virtually eliminate pretreating.


  • Cold Wash Cycle

  • Precision Dispense
  • Penetrates strains and pre-treats soils with a concentrated burst of detergent. The wash cycle begins only after the entire load has been treated. Precision Dispense adds the ability to release oxygenated additives for better cleaning performance.
  • 6 Hour TumbleFresh option
  • Activates after the load is finished if selected, tumbling clothes periodically. Keep clothes fresh and reduce wrinkles by continually tumbling clothes after cycle's end for up to 6 hours. Intermittent tumbling in the washer helps reduce the growth of odour-causing bacteria.

  • Quiet Spin 360 Technology
  • Now you can place your laundry pair virtually anywhere and be assured of balanced performance and vibration control. The washer takes into account where it's installed and adapts to improve its balance over time. A built-in accelerometer and dual-ring ball-balancing keep the wash basket centered at all times.
  • EcoBoost Option
  • Get additional energy efficiency without giving up cleaning performance. This option lowers water temperature and increases the tumbling action to use less energy while still delivering great cleaning and gentle performance.
  • Steam-Enhanced Cycles
  • Add the power of steam to select wash cycles to eliminate tough stains with virtually no pretreating.
  • Allergen Cycle
  • The Allergen cycle has been tested to remove up to 95% of harmful allergens 1 from your clothes.

  • ENERGY STAR® Qualified
  • Meets government standards to help conserve natural resources and save money on utility bills.
  • Adaptive Clean Wash System
  • The Adaptive Clean wash system automatically senses the size of each load to use just the right amount of water to deliver great cleaning. The wash system is 10% more gentle while delivering better cleaning performance that virtually eliminates the need to pretreat. Compared to traditional top load washers.
  • 11 Automatic Cycles
  • Steam Clean Option
