    ➕Cold Water Wash

    The cold water cycle feature allows for effective cleaning with cold water, preserving fabric quality while using less energy. Adjusting the wash actions can remove dirt as thoroughly as warm water cycles and helps you save up to 90% of the energy typically needed for heating.

    ➕FreshFlow Vent System

    The Fresh Flow Vent System keeps your washer’s interior fresh by circulating air throughout the drum after the wash cycle. This fan-powered system, combined with the FanFresh Option and the Dry Drum Cycle, works to reduce moisture to ensure the washer stays clean and ready for the next load.

    ➕Dry Drum Feature

    Whirpool's Dry Drum cycle takes freshness a step further by keeping the drum dry even after a cycle. A fan activates to remove excess moisture, targeting areas prone to dampness, such as the door and rubber gasket. This function minimizes dampness and mold and is especially useful when emptying the washer right away isn’t an option.

    ➕Antimicrobial Protection

    Antimicrobial protection on the rubber gasket helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, which can transfer to your clothing after a wash. This addition keeps the washer fresher longer, requiring less frequent deep cleaning and providing peace of mind when it comes to laundry hygiene.

    ➕AI Intelligent Wash

    Intelligent Wash technology uses sensors to detect load size and fabric type to automatically adjust water levels and wash actions. A Whirlpool AI washing machine optimizes each cycle for efficiency and garment care, to make laundry less hands-on.

    ➕Quick Wash Feature

    The Quick Wash cycle cleans smaller loads in around 25 minutes, ideal for those moments when you need to clean clothes quickly. Paired with a rapid dry cycle, it’s possible to complete an entire wash and dry process in under an hour.
