This 11 year old video has a lot of useful information, very clearly explained! Thanks so much! I just replaced my 30 year old top loader. Even though my new machine is not the same brand and has some different features, this video answered so many questions about how this thing is operating. It even reassured me about sounds it makes.
This video is just what I was looking for. My husband and I just moved into an apartment with this type of washer. We were unsettled by many of the sounds it made as it washed our first load of clothes. We’re both totally blind so we couldn’t see the lights indicating which part of the cycle was going on. I love this video because it explains each stage of a cycle and each sound the unit makes. Thanks!
Thank You for this expertly explained detailed instruction of how to use a new HE Whirlpool Washer. This was the only Video that actually took me step by step and allowed me to visually see what the washer was doing inside because the lid had been removed. Perfect!!! I subscribed to your channel because of it. Thanks Again!!!
My Whirlpool is 48 years old and still going strong. It has had one minor repair that I did myself with a part from Amazon. I like the fact that the machine has a removable lint filter so my home's drain is less likely to be clogged with debris.
And here I am, on RUclips, learning washing machine anatomy. 29 years old and using fabric softener for the very first time, had no idea that round thing in the middle was the dispenser. Thanks! (I guess)
One of the washers at my local laundromat is a Whirlpool, the agitator is black and straight with three fins, it senses the load like an HE machine would, and the machine dates to 2012.
Great vid Whirlpool!! Love the new "belt-drive" washers!! Very much improved over the old direct drives! They are a joy to sell as well. Thankyou for such a AWESOME product!
Does water come up from the bottom of the tub as well? If I put the liquid laundry detergent in first, then load my clothes, the detergent will just soak into the clothes at the bottom. How does the detergent get evenly distributed throughout the wash?
No, it goes thru a fill and spin period to determine how much water to add. I've owned a Whirlpool Cabrio washer now for nearly 2 years. It is a great washer.
Thank you. Just bought new top load washer, was not present at installation, so I was unsure of where the detergent goes. Annual was not helpful. This video helped alot.
Hi cellrad, this option is for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment. When Deep Clean is selected, the water temperature of the selected wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated to the temperature selected, to aid in stain removal. Sincerely, Jennifer
@Sharkie626 My 1986 Kenmore stopped draining and it would immediately start spinning instead of first draining then spinning. I still have it outside with a tarp over it just in case i needed it and i think im just going to bring that one back in and get it fixed unless its the motor or transmission.
I once bought a Whirlpool washer. During the third visit by the repairman in a span of 14 months, he told me that all these new HE washers were junk, and he gave me two options. He suggested I buy the extended warranty to help defer the cost of his future visits, or I could spend a little more and purchase a Speed Queen. I chose the Speed Queen and have not seen that man in years.
yeah just called appliance dealer and a speed queen costs $999 w/a 25 year warranty , I won't live another 25 years.... where as a GE 4,2 w/agitater costing $599 with delivery/hookup & removal of old washer, but has only a 1 year warranty, it's only me and I do 3 loads of laundry about every 2 weeks. My whirlpool duet front loader has last 10 yrs, but I think the bearings are going out. When Mom passed away, I wished I'd bought her old washer, we sold for $50 in an estate sale, it was still going strong after 20 years of use.
I bought one of these in August. It never adds more than 5/6 inches of water in the wash cycle. I have to wash my king-size sheets one at a time. I am 100% dissatisfied with this washer. Note: I have found if I add a gallon or so of water on top of the load before I start the wash cycle it will add enough water of agitate the load. I wish I had my 30 year old Kenmore back.
I have an auto sensing Amana I absolutely hate it.. It's pretty bad when you have to have a bucket to add water to your washing machine just so just so the clothes are covered with water.. If they're not covered with water then they don't agitate and 8 and some of the clothes just sit there on top. Just waiting for a recall to get rid of this stupid thing.
I know this video is old but my household also has a Whirlpool HE top-load washing machine. Unlike this one, however, mine uses an impeller instead of an agitator. In addition, mine has a built-in detergent dispensing tray which the user pours the detergent into before starting the load. The advantage to the detergent dispensing tray when compared to the machine in this video is that inexperienced users don't have to worry about ruining their clothes by not adding detergent properly since the detergent dispenser on those kinds of machines are clearly marked. Also, because the clothes and detergent are loaded in separate sections of the machine before starting the cycle, loading my washer in general is a less messy process. Many HE impeller top load washing machines and HE front load washing machines of all brands come with build in detergent dispensing trays to add detergent to as far as I remember so I could never really understand why companies would design their high efficiency machines without the detergent tray as in this video. Clearly, Whirlpool's high-efficiency top load washers have improved since this video was first posted on RUclips. That's only from my experience with the better technology though as I still had a traditional water-guzzling agitator washer (that was the previous washer that I had before my current one btw) back then and by the time my traditional agitator washer did stop working and I had to replace it, Whirlpool's improved versions were pretty much already out there for the most part. I can't speak on behalf of other people's experience.
@jmc6000 If a direct drive washer is tearing up clothing, then it is being used wrong. Remember, ours is 21 years old now and still working perfectly. If this machine was damaging our clothes, we would not have kept it for 21 years. Plus, it is a 3-Speed model, so delicates are never a problem.
the out of balance occurs in all of these new top loaders... including the ones with the propeller... (no agitator) which damages the machine..either go with a front loader or stay with the old type agitator machine that spins about 700mph
Hello Marcus Markus. We truly apologize for the frustrations you have experienced with your washer. If you would like us to look further into your concerns, please email us directly at Whirlpool.Digital@Whirlpool_._com. Please include your name, RUclips User ID, complete contact information, the full physical address where the washing machine is located, along with the model and serial numbers. Sincerely, Andre W.
In the pursuit of saving water above all else, the EPA has imposed these standards on the newer consumer level laundry equipment. These newer machines in reality save nothing in environmental impact because of lack of reliability. Control boards failing is the number one reason these newer machines are thrown away before their time. Energy usage is higher overall because of longer run times to achieve the level of clean people expect as well. If you have one of these machines, make sure you plug it into a good surge protector to protect your investment.
Wow I've never known the difference between fabric softener and detergent until now. I've always put the detergent into the agitator part where the softener goes and not inside the actual basket where the clothes are.
So, don’t put detergent on top of the clothes to prevent staining them, but put the detergent in first without any water, then put clothes on top of it? How’s that any better!?
@@August-uf4ojo does water come up through the bottom holes in the tub? If not, then you'd just end up getting all the detergent on the clothes at the bottom. Not any different.
This is the exact washer in my new building I moved to and it just looked like a giant dinosaur I was so confused on how to use it even though I’ve washed my clothes with many other washers in the past lol thank you for the video
My parents bought a Kenmore in about 2010 that was this new belt drive style. After 2.5 years they had to spend over $300 including the service call to replace the mother board which lasted for about a year before dying again. This machine was at their summer home so was only used 6 months a year by two retired people. When it died the second time they loaded it up and took it to the dump then went to Home Depot and bought a Hotpoint with an electromechanical timer and no computer to die. My mother loves it, she hated the Kenmore almost from day one. Personally I'll stick with my 1978 Maytag .
To anyone using any of these machines: Do not overload your washer. Overloading can cause poor cleaning. Avoid washing a single item unless it is a large bulky item as it may become unbalanced and the cycle not finish.
I simply don't want a washer that functions like that....period! My current machine is 52 years old and still functioning well. I will keep it as long as possible and then buy on old, traditional top loader on Craigs List or elsewhere.
Thats what I am talking about, the old washers have motors built like a tank. I will NEVER fall into the Energy Efficient scam. Old school washers in the house!
Exactly! And remember, almost nothing goes wrong with those machines that can't be fixed by the homeowner. With simple care, you'll get 50 years or more of good service from yours as I did from mine.
@radha bhattu and me have the same washer because we are in the same house, our washer to be exact is from 1991 and has been working for 25 years (we had it since 1991)
Does this agitation process really wash clothes properly? For a long time I have been washing with one of these but i never seen the way it actually washes. Today I saw it for the first time and I wondered if my machine was broken or what but I came here and saw that your machine does the same. It just makes me wonder if this really washes clothes properly or not
I was wondering then at what stage do you put liquid deturget in if not over the clothes. If you put it at the start then add clothes it's going to make contact with the clothes anyway??? Also do you always have to add water to the fabric softener?
@sincladutch If you want a good Maytag (if that's what you're looking for), go with one of the old Dependable Care models. I used those at a laundromat, and at friend's house and they do a superb job of cleaning. Curious, what went wrong with your 1986 Kenmore?
We have a Samsung Top Load washer, I kinda miss our front load we had by LG but sadly we lost everything in an house fire in 15 back when we lived in South Carolina now I’m in southern Ohio.
Lol so apparently I've loading my washer wrong. I always select my cycle settings and press start. The thing supposedly senses and begins filling with water while I'm putting my clothes in. Like another user has said, I don't have time for the machine to fiddle fart around. Just wash my damn clothes already!
TheToploaderwasher, This particular machine is a belt driven machine. We do still manufacture some models that are direct drives though to answer your question. Please let me know if you have any other questions you may have regarding our washers. Sincerely, Kyle
Another benefit about the detergent dispenser is that when water enters it, it dilutes the detergent before adding it to the clothes while the basket rotates to cover all the clothes, which coats the clothes more evenly than just adding it directly to the tub without diluting it first as with an old fashioned agitator washer. Again, that's just my experience and I can't speak for everyone else.
@kirbyyasha Some of our new washers do lock the lid down as a safety precaution. If you'd like to see it going through a spin cycle we'd recommend purchasing one with a transparent lid. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
no its not for safety !! its called money cos those goofy lock stubs break and so does the digital goofy buttons if u call buttons ! one little thing blows u gotta put it in the dump and buy another crappy one !!!!!! its called stock market !!! new to you and many others is it ?????
Dear MrFreddy2189, We manufacture several different models with various features and designs in trying to provide washers that not only meet increasing government restrictions on energy usage but will be versatile in meeting the needs of most of our users while still providing the best performance in the industry. We regret if some operating characteristic or feature is unsatisfactory, and we apologize for any inconvenience this concern has caused you.
@MrFreddy2189 I really don't know who these "many other people" are, but all of the ones I have sold these washers too love how they clean and plus there are many reviews out there by people who say these washer do a very effective job at cleaning.
I bought a Whirlpool washer, Model # 1CWTW4740YQ 8 cycle 2 speed top load washer that also has this start and stop button. Got all the necessary pipes attached and plugged it in. It does absolutely nothing! i hear the lid lock and 'fill' light is lit and it just sits there. after fiddling for a couple hours, it finally started filling with water. the different lights lit up showing that it was supposed to be washing, however it did not agitate or spin, the water just eventually drained out!
My new Whirlpool works just fine. However I did disconnect that stupid lid lock. As long as you put the heaviest items at the bottom of the tub and the lightest ones on the top and dont over load it it will do its thing. I never put detergent in the tub before starting the machine....I push the start button and it fills immediately. Then I let the stream from the fill disolve the detergent then shut the lid and walk away. I does take ten min longer but all in all I am happy with my machine.
Hi Helen. The washer will detect an unbalanced load before filling. Once the load is determined to be balanced, it will begin filling with water based on the cycle you have selected. If you are interested in a certain model, please let us know so that we may ensure it has the features you are interested in. Thank you, Amber
Notice she said the fabric softener switch to be on for the proper amount of rinse water… the way it actually works is with it off, it does this thing called spray rinses, where it dumps water on the clothes which barley hits the clothes and mostly the bottom of the tub, that is not rinsing the clothes… with the fabric softener switch on, it actually fills up and rinses the clothes… so all you people who do not use fabric softener, turn that switch to on/yes so the washer can actually fill up and agitate for the rinse cycle…
I bought my Amana yesterday by my local guy I've known for 30 years. If it f**** up I'll march in there and get him to replace it. It only had a 1 year warranty!
well my washer qcts like it froze like the ice in hose when turn on or try to turn on it doesent pump water in it just makes a sound like its guna burn up?
When I pour the detergent in the wash basket it disappears down through the holes. Is that ok? Hope it doesn’t mean my clothes will get washed without detergent.
It doesn't mean the detergent is gone. The drum/inner tub is in an outer tub. When water enters the drum, it goes to the outer tub, therefore, the water mixes the detergent.
I've used every setting on this washer from normal all away around to deep water wash and it only fills water not even close to half way and I've recalibrated and did the lid up and down 6 times and it still does the same thing oh well to the dump it goes
@TheToploaderwasher Depends upon the model of the washer. If you would like me to look into a specific model please email me directly at Whirlpool.Digital@Whirlpool_._com disregard the underscores. Please include your UserID from RUclips and the complete model/serial number of the washer along with your complete physical address and contact information. Sincerely, Kyle

Fabric softener is toxic - it should be banned
Nobody: My heart during a final I didn’t study for: 5:50
Thank goodness you can still get a traditional top loader that fills up full and has the traditional transmission in it. Speed Queen's TC5 series.

Great vid Whirlpool!! Love the new "belt-drive" washers!! Very much improved over the old direct drives! They are a joy to sell as well. Thankyou for such a AWESOME product!
I wish they were more durable and reliable though
I learned something new! Didn't know you had to add water to fabric softener.
Thank you for this video 🙏🏿
thank you for this video. all I needed to know : )
I thought it was a very good video, thank you for posting. New whirlpool making that slow washing sound. Very different.
It's helpful this video 🖤💕
Thanks For Helping & Showing Us How To Do It!
The OLD belt drive and direct drive washers were good high quality washers! These new ones will only last maybe 5 years if your lucky!
The new washers will break down on you, even 10 times.
Yep. Poor design+ poorly manufactured parts= cheap quality.
Willie Peck
Speed Queen is the best to go for if you want a washer that lasts a very long time.
I know. They are the only brand ill buy
+Willie Peck -more apealing to ur avrage consumer
i ahve a whirlpool washer and dryer for 3 yrs they have been very good
Very helpful video. I wish I had a top load
nice information video! thanks!
My 77 Kenmore also senses an out of balance load. It will also stop and a buzzer will sound.
THANK YOU lol i use to put fabric softner on top of my cloths and really messed all of them up
Will only buy a Speed Queen or a used washer made before 2000.
Thanks for useful tips.
Could you suggest where to put prewash liquid in this kind of washer?
Thank you 🙏🏼
Does water come up from the bottom of the tub as well? If I put the liquid laundry detergent in first, then load my clothes, the detergent will just soak into the clothes at the bottom. How does the detergent get evenly distributed throughout the wash?

Hi Whirlpool Maytag
im proud of my kenmore 80 series from 1999
i never even had to replace it
70 series Kenmore and same no isssues dryer works fine also.... GO TEAM OLD SCHOOL !!
@MrFreddy2189 I really don't know who these "many other people" are, but all of the ones I have sold these washers too love how they clean and plus there are many reviews out there by people who say these washer do a very effective job at cleaning.
As much as I loved the dd washers these have better wash action as far as I'm concerned .
thx I didn't know that cause I have the same washer
I have to learn this for life skillls and I don’t even have this type
So.. what happened to the Fabric Softner?? It just Vanished
The combined action of the agitator and basket move the load through the water.
I bought a Whirlpool washer, Model # 1CWTW4740YQ 8 cycle 2 speed top load washer that also has this start and stop button. Got all the necessary pipes attached and plugged it in. It does absolutely nothing! i hear the lid lock and 'fill' light is lit and it just sits there. after fiddling for a couple hours, it finally started filling with water. the different lights lit up showing that it was supposed to be washing, however it did not agitate or spin, the water just eventually drained out!
My new Whirlpool works just fine. However I did disconnect that stupid lid lock. As long as you put the heaviest items at the bottom of the tub and the lightest ones on the top and dont over load it it will do its thing. I never put detergent in the tub before starting the machine....I push the start button and it fills immediately. Then I let the stream from the fill disolve the detergent then shut the lid and walk away. I does take ten min longer but all in all I am happy with my machine.
Hi Helen. The washer will detect an unbalanced load before filling. Once the load is determined to be balanced, it will begin filling with water based on the cycle you have selected. If you are interested in a certain model, please let us know so that we may ensure it has the features you are interested in. Thank you, Amber
Notice she said the fabric softener switch to be on for the proper amount of rinse water… the way it actually works is with it off, it does this thing called spray rinses, where it dumps water on the clothes which barley hits the clothes and mostly the bottom of the tub, that is not rinsing the clothes… with the fabric softener switch on, it actually fills up and rinses the clothes… so all you people who do not use fabric softener, turn that switch to on/yes so the washer can actually fill up and agitate for the rinse cycle…
how to connect it to water supply and waste?
how do I get it to give me a second wash before rinsing
If mine actually moved the clothes like it claims it might work. Overloading and my clothes still never change positions
How long will it pause before rinse?
This washer is McMansion grade quality.
The low water usage saves water and energy. You need less water and a more gentle impeller for delicates that can gently wash all types of laundry.
I bought my Amana yesterday by my local guy I've known for 30 years. If it f**** up I'll march in there and get him to replace it. It only had a 1 year warranty!
It is important to understand that each cycle has been designed to optimally clean specific load types
That’s true
When did the liquid detergent used? It wasn’t used till drain cycle but all were gone before rinse…
Thank God for my twin tub 🙃
well my washer qcts like it froze like the ice in hose when turn on or try to turn on it doesent pump water in it just makes a sound like its guna burn up?
Saving water by "balancing" clothes instead of having suspension that doesn't suck shit? Sounds energy efficient to me...
If you need to add a garment after the lid has locked, press the Start/Pause button to pause the cycle.
I never used this type of agitator before. How do they perform when compared to normal ones?
+Tristris 389 my 1991 kenmore elite direct drive is better than these he washers
When I pour the detergent in the wash basket it disappears down through the holes. Is that ok? Hope it doesn’t mean my clothes will get washed without detergent.
It doesn't mean the detergent is gone. The drum/inner tub is in an outer tub. When water enters the drum, it goes to the outer tub, therefore, the water mixes the detergent.
I've used every setting on this washer from normal all away around to deep water wash and it only fills water not even close to half way and I've recalibrated and did the lid up and down 6 times and it still does the same thing oh well to the dump it goes
this is a maytag? thats weird, Maytag washers dont usually have these kind of agitators in drums in them
That's because whirlpool bought maytag in 2006
Locking the lid allows for high speed spinning.
@Sharkie626 Sure, I'm interested.
