Whirlpool Load HE Washer - WTW5000DW2 I loathe this washer! The fabric softener settings are there, but you must catch the moment it is ready for fabric softener! I am like most people and am not watching the machine for just the right moment to stop and add softener. This machine uses a minimal amount of water, even in the deep water cycles. I rinse everything twice since the clothes don’t feel clean at end of one rinse. All in all I miss my old washing machine where I could choose the water cycle and had a fabric dispenser. This machine demands that you sit next to it band catch just the right moment to stop and add the softener. Ridiculous considering that no one I know has the time and dedication to do this., Did I mention that I hate this washer?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The washer pauses but not for long between cycles to let you put in softener but it will continue on without. It doesn't pause and wait. I use Downey balls for softener, put them in at the start of the cycle and then you don't have to worry about it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Cmk, on model WTW5000DW, we have provided the instructions on how to dispense fabric softener. To dispense fabric softener in the rinse cycle, this washer has been designed to allow the use of the Downy Ball®† dispenser. Pour a measured amount of Downy® liquid fabric softener into the Downy Ball® dispenser, pull the ring tightly to seal it, and place on top of load. Always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Then select 1 Rinse with Softener option. The Downy Ball® dispenser will automatically release the fabric softener during the rinse cycle. For questions on using the Downy Ball® dispenser call 1-800-688-7638 or visit www.downy.com. IMPORTANT: Rinse option must be selected to 1 Rinse with Softener or 2 Rinses with Softener to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not over"ll or dilute. Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load During the "nal rinse, wait until the washer has completed "lling, press the START/Pause button to pause the washer. Lift the lid and add the measured recommended amount of liquid fabric softener. Do not use more than the recommended amount. Close the lid and press the START/Pause button again to start the washer.
