Whirlpool brand's premier fabric care system has become the best selling front loader in America. The Duet washer's Ultra Capacity Plus wash basket expertly cleans everything from the most delicate garments to heavy duty comforters and rugs. It does all that while using less than half the water and energy of traditional top-load washers. Also, wash up to 16 pairs of jeans in a single load.

Some of the features include 6th Sense Technology, Direct Inject Cleaning System, Quiet Wash Plus Noise Reduction, Stainless Steel Wash Basket and Add-A-Garment Feature.
Key Features
ENERGY STAR Qualified
  • The ENERGY STAR emblem signifies that the Duet washer meets the requirements set forth by the Department of Energy for cleaning efficiency
Ultra Capacity Plus
6th Sense Technology
  • As soon as the wash cycle is started, Duet and Cabrio washers use various sensors to determine the size of the load and precisely how much water is needed to clean it
  • Heat sensors then monitor the temperature, and make sure water is warmed gradually to make cleaning enzymes optimally effective
  • Suds sensors also work to prevent oversudsing in the low water wash system
Direct Inject Wash System
  • A stain-removing shower of concentrated detergent deep cleans large loads and delicate garments, ensuring thorough cleaning
Care Control Temperature Management
  • Care Control Temperature Management uses built-in sensors to monitor wash water and ensure it's warm enough to dissolve detergents and cool enough to ensure proper fabric care
Quiet Wash Plus Noise Reduction
  • Innovative noise reducing technology brings the beauty of silence to the laundry room. Choose a washer with the quiet wash package that meets your needs; Ultra Quiet Wash, Quiet Wash Plus and Quiet Wash
  • All three packages are remarkable for what they don't do - make noise
  • Ultra Quiet Wash: Our quietest wash system ever. Strategically-placed, sound absorbing materials on the front, sides and bottom of the washer cabinet, along with a quieter hose design, gives you the flexibility to operate the washer wherever and whenever
  • Quiet Wash Plus: Sound-absorbing materials on the front, sides and bottom of the cabinet help keep operational sounds inside the washer and out of your daily life
  • Quiet Wash: Helps reduce operational noise with a sound-absorbing pad on the front of the washer cabinet
Stainless Steel Wash Basket
  • The interior of the washer features a stainless steel basket that resists odors, rusting, or chipping
  • It's smooth enough to gently handle fabrics and durable enough to stay looking new
Built-In Water Heater
14 Factory Pre-Set Cycles and Options
Add-A-Garment Feature
  • The convenient Add-A-Garment light illuminates on the control panel for the first 8 minutes of the wash cycle
  • This gives a convenient reminder that forgotten items can still be added to the load in progress and still receive the same effective cleaning
Auto Soak & Pre-Wash Cycles
Bulky Items Cycle
  • The specially-designed cycle is ideal for cleaning bulky items like comforters, sleeping bags, down jackets or pillows, all of which fit easily into the wash basket
Clean Washer Cycle
  • This special Clean Washer cycle helps keep the stainless steel basket and drum clean of detergent buildup and odor
Delicate Cycle
  • Select a Delicates Cycle when cleaning delicate or knit items
  • A reduced agitation speed and low spin speed provide needed fabric care without sacrificing cleaning performance
Hand Washables Cycle
  • The Handwashables cycle uses extra low, intermittent agitation to mimic washing in the sink for delicate care of hand wash garments
Heavy Duty Cycle
  • A faster spin speed coupled with the Direct Inject system works to remove the toughest stains from the toughest and heaviest fabrics
Normal/Casual Cycle
Quick Wash Cycle
Sanitary Cycle
  • The internal water heater warms the wash water to 153 degrees F., a temperature hot enough to eliminate 99.999% of harmful bacteria
  • Use of the sanitary cycle can eliminate the need for bleach to disinfect and sanitize certain types of laundry
Silk Cycle
Whitest Whites Cycle
