Description & Features

Whirlpool WFW97HEXR Front Load Washer, 27 in, with 5.0 cu. ft. Capacity, 12 Cycles, Steam Fabric Care, Sanitary Cycle, Widescreen LCD Display, CEE Tier III Energy Star Qualified
5.0 cu. ft. I.E.C.* Equivalent Duet® High Efficiency Front-Loading Washer

6 th Sense™ TechnologyMeasures the size of the load and determines how much water is needed to clean it. Sensors monitor the inlet temperature, gradually warming water to keep cleaning enzymes at optimal effectiveness. Plus, sensors prevent oversudsing in low-water systems.

Precision Dispense UltraProvides the ultimate in cleaning and fabric care, by adding detergent, fabric softener and bleach at just the right time during the cycle.

Cradle Clean™ TechnologySimulates hand washing during extra care cycles by "rocking" the tilted wash drum instead of spinning it.

Fanfresh™ Option With Dynamic Venting Technology™ (DVT)The built-in washer fan activates after the wash cycle is over, tumbling clothes for up to 16 hours, so you can wash and dry a small load right in the washer,** or run the fan to start drying out the washer between cycles.
**Based on a 3lb load of lightweight fabrics.

Deep Clean Steam OptionPenetrates deep into fabric fibers, breaking down and dissolving stains like grass and grease without pretreating.

Oxi Dispense OptionEnhances whitening performance with an eco-friendly alternative to bleach. An automatic dispenser distributes the oxygenated additive at the appropriate time, sending oxygen through the load to brighten fabrics.

Quiet Wash Ultra Noise Reduction SystemKeep operational sounds inside the washer and out of living areas with sound-absorbing materials around the wash basket.

Direct Inject Wash SystemPenetrates stains and pretreats soils with a concentrated burst of detergent virtually eliminating the need to pretreat. The wash cycle begins only after the entire load has been treated.

ENERGY STAR® Qualified
Look for the ENERGY STAR® symbol on selected Whirlpool® products. It shows that the product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.
