Whirlpool WFW9400SW Duet Series 3 8 cu ft Front Load Washer
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars 6 loads in a day, no problem!
When we replaced our washer and dryer units I had to work hard get what I wanted. Exceeding my husband expectations of cost was the difficult part but it turns out the Whirlpool Duet front loader washer (GHW9150) and matching dryer (GEW9250) was a great investment. Without being a slave to the laundry room, I can get six large loads done in a day. Being Energy Star certified, the Duet units are extremely efficiently even with large loads. And, the washer conserves water by automatically adjusting how much is needed for each load.
But the decision was not an easy one as some reviews about front loaders discussed concerns of mildew and extreme entanglement of clothing. By actually read the manuals since our purchase (April 2005) we haven’t had a single problem or complaint.

1 Star broke in 3 months
I got this washer 3 months ago brand new and we found out 2 weeks ago that it needs a completely new control panel. They had to order the part, gave me the date of two weeks later (last Friday)for arrival to fix it, then the part never arrived. When I called, they said it was backordered until possibly the end of the month, maybe longer. I am very disappointed with the machine and of course the fact that I can’t do any laundry. We’re returning it as soon as we can.
1 Star Buyer beware!!!
I bought this washer 4 months ago and it has broken 2 times already. It has been 2 weeks, 2 trips from repairmen, 2 sets of ordered parts and no end in sight! The repairmen told me to keep up with the warranty bc this washer breaks all of the time. Whirlpool’s warranty department pretty much told me too bad, it takes 7-10 days to get parts and they will exhaust all options and not consider replacing it….nevermind the entire computer system is being replaced. I will never buy another Whirlpool product again and I will warn my friends …which is unfortunate for Whirlpool as we have many years of purchasing ahead of us!
1 Star Not worth the money.
I have had my duet for going on 4 years now… and I am always SO frustrated with the way my clothes always end up twisting themselves into knots. I have used front load washers in the past and I have never had this problem. It is absolutely terrible. Legs of pants will be wrapped up, twisted up, and tied in knots with shirt sleeves and other pants when I go to unload it. Sometimes I can’t even untwist them until i take the entire load out and throw everything on the floor just to seperated them! The dryer does it as well; mostly with sheets, especially fitted one.
Also, small items often end up inside the rubber gasket sopping wet, and if I don’t leave the door to the washer open when it is not in use it produces an awful smell. This is a terrible washer and I am sorry I purchased it.
1 Star Don’t buy this washer
This is a great machine WHEN it works. I have had mine for 3 months and have had 2 separate problems. Whirlpool has been very unhelpful with the last problem-has been broken for 1 month, still not fixed and no end in site!!!
