Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Winedaddy88 6/2/2025

This is the second such unit I™€™ve purchased. The first I had to replace after 3 years because the drum wasn™€™t fitted properly. The second doesn™€™t dry. I had a third unit coming in in two weeks, which I hope will end my streak of faulty units, but I cannot currently recommend this unit to anyone.

Bad investment 6/25/2024

Order the dryer and had to wait on it for 3 weeks. Once it was Deliver the dryer was not working had a repair man come out twice to find out that the dryer need parts that were on back order. So I refuse to wait on parts for a new dryer. After going back and forth with them . Home Depot finally sent me another dryer. And it seem like I™€™m going to have to have them come back out because it only drys on the time dry cycle.

joke 5/28/2024

i bought in Nov 2023. If I use any of the options for drying anything It runs for like 5 minutes snd shuts off. Only way it will complete the drying is if I use timed drying option called for service and their were two appointments set up and no one showed up either time and no one ever even called.

TERRIBLE DRYER AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE!

IGotALemonFrom Whirlpool 8/3/2023

This is the worst dryer and customer service experience ever! The dryer came in a new home that I bought 2 years ago. Extremely loud and balled up my sheets from the start. I have spent a year trying to get it fixed with 5 different service calls (and still not fixed and made it worse after the 4th visit), putting in a seal kit, then replacing the motor twice, and the complete run around from my local appliance company Bridgeville Appliance and Whirlpool. The Whirlpool customer service was manipulative as every call rep told me about another loophole that protected them and not the customer. Common sense would tell anyone that a brand new dryer should not require this much service and this is a lemon and Whirlpool should replace it. Their game is to beat down the customer, drag it out, so there is no choice but to buy a replacement. If you have a day job and don't have time to spend all of your free time on the phone with unhelpful Whirlpool reps, save yourself and don't buy this dryer or any other appliance from Whirlpool.

Defective dryer

Andrea 7/10/2023

Day of delivery, the dryer sounded like a jet engine with loud grinding noise. Couldn™€™t be on same floor while dryer was running. While dryer cycled periodically, it sounded like our garage door was opening and closing from 2nd floor upstairs bedroom! Immediately ordered replacement dryer which took three hours by phone. Replacement dryer model is louder than first- refusing to keep. This process is beyond frustrating. I was so happy with my old WHIRLPOOL front loader dryer which was so quiet you didn™€™t even know it was on!

Dryer doesn't dry

Jenny 7/5/2023

I bought a Whirlpool a month ago and now it doesn't dry. A technician came out this morning and he said that a senior part is damaged and it needs to be replaced. It will take 10-15 days for the part to come in and a repair will take place. I called back customer service and asked for a replacement one but they said they can't at this point. I think they should as I just bought a product last month and senior part damaged is a major one. This is manufacture defective.

EMCK 10/25/2022

I replaced my Whirlpool duet washer and dryer with the newer Whirlpool front loader pair in 2021. While I really liked the older duet machines, I am incredibly disappointed with the new ones. The dryer is so loud. It takes much longer to dry (and wash for that matter) and I have to hold the Start button down for the 3 second countdown. Such a stupid and annoying "feature". I really regret this purchase but I liked Whirlpool and just assumed the new products would be even better than older ones. Not the case unfortunately.

New Dryer - New Features

captfred 7/5/2022

I have been preemptively replacing our 13 year old appliances - one appliance sale at a time. This month it was the dryer - the fifth appliance of five. The new features and cycle choices are amazing. The winkle free option is very popular in this household. Operating instructions still taped to dryer as we explore all the features.

Don´t buy this product, horrible design

LR_PTY 9/5/2021

Bought this less than 2 years ago, and have had multiple problems. Finally decided it was not worth keeping it, and looking for a replacement. First of all, unit is extremely noisy. Appears steel cover is not heavy enough, and the flimsy material just makes too much noisy. Second, have had multiple errors, all because moisture is getting to the control card. This appears to be a design mistake, and there is no way to resolve it. Tried adding insulation but still get the same problem. Unlike any other Whirpool product I´ve had, I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Dirty laundry 9/1/2021

After 2 loads of laundry the unit shuts down and an ERROR code is present and not functioning.. Make matters worse, we're being told over 1 month to have a repair service tech for an appointment. Doesn't have any interior light, when it did run, it was loud, as well as the washer. Not impressed with the quality at all! You failed on this one Whirlpool. Want to return it.

No Interior Light!

Blind man 6/15/2020

I finally bought a brand new washer/dryer set, and after a horrifying experience with Samsung (just TRY to get parts!), I was looking forward to a long-term relationship with my new Whirlpool equipment. I could just SCREAM because the STOOPID dryer DOESN™€™T HAVE AN INTERIOR LIGHT! What the heck is THAT? I have to keep a flashlight next to my dryer just to see what™€™s IN the thing. VERY disappointed. Would return it if o could, but I™€™m moving across the country and don™€™t have time to deal with it. How much did you save guys? 35 cents! How much is a loyal customer to you?

Seems there is a manufacturing issue with the control panel. Had to return after 1 day. Received errors and clothes did not dry after being in dryer over an hour. Recieved a replacement, after 2 weeks same issues. Control panel switching to different options on its own, errors, does not dry, then does not power on. I would not suggest buying this dryer until they work the bugs out. Returned for a different manufacturer altogether. Very dissapointed.
