6.1 cu. ft. Top Load Washer

Whirlpool top‑load high‑efficiency washer, 6.1 cu. ft, White WTW8509TW

Bring premium, high-efficiency performance to your laundry room with the Whirlpool WTW8509TW washer, a spacious top-load design built to handle everything from everyday essentials to bulky bedding with confidence. Designed around the smooth, low-profile impeller wash system found in Whirlpool’s higher-end Cabrio-style platforms, this washer creates a powerful yet fabric-friendly wash action that helps lift and separate loads for a more thorough clean while still being gentler than traditional tall-agitator machines. One of the standout advantages of this model is its large-capacity basket—rated using the higher Canadian IEC measurement—so you can wash more in fewer loads, making it a smart choice for busy households that want to cut down on time, water, and energy without sacrificing results. The wide 27-inch class footprint also makes it an easy fit in most standard laundry spaces while still delivering the kind of room you want for comforters, towels, and mixed family loads.

Beyond size, the WTW8509TW is built for convenience and better cleaning control. Its advanced cycle selections and sensor-driven wash management help optimize water levels and wash action based on the load, taking the guesswork out of choosing settings and helping prevent overwashing. Many comparable washers in this category rely on more basic timers, but this platform is designed to adapt as it runs, improving consistency from load to load. You’ll also appreciate the high-speed spin performance that removes more water before drying, which can help reduce dryer time and energy use while leaving clothes less damp at the end of the cycle. For households that want a cleaner washer over the long term, this model supports routine tub-cleaning maintenance cycles that help keep the interior fresher between deep cleanings. With its combination of Canadian-rated large capacity, impeller-based wash action, adaptive sensing, and strong extraction, the Whirlpool WTW8509TW delivers a premium top-load experience that stands out from typical entry-level machines.

Features:

Removable Delicates Basket

The industry-first Removable Delicates Basket keeps delicates safe while regular, everyday loads wash around it. Unlike a mesh bag, this built-in solution separately washes items with gentle agitation and slower spin forces. All while protecting them from damage, snags, and tangling with the rest of the load. Squeeze & rotate the handles to easily remove the Delicates Basket for extra capacity in the washer, perfect for bedding and bulky items.

ActiveFall™ Wash

Ensure your entire load is evenly cleaned with ActiveFall™ Wash*. A cascading curtain of water circulates the detergent mixture throughout the load, saturating clothes while helping detergent reach every item.

Load & Go™ Bulk Dispenser

Skip refills and get the right amount of detergent for up to 20 loads* with the Load & Go™ Bulk Dispenser. Simply fill the bulk dispense chamber with up to 1L of your favourite liquid detergent and the machine will automatically dispense the right amount based on load size and cycle settings. Smart alerts even notify you when it's time to refill.

AI Wash

AI Wash takes the guesswork of washing everyday mixed loads. It senses the load size, and automatically adjusts the wash action and detergent level for optimal cleaning. When the Delicates Basket option is on, it senses the load size and adjusts the detergent level so your delicate items and surrounding mixed loads get the clean they deserve.

Smart Features with Whirlpool® App (Legacy App)

Be in control and stay connected from anywhere. The Whirlpool® App lets you start, pause, track progress and receive notifications when you're away. Plus, access specialty cycles only available on the app, or create custom cycles you can save right to your machine*.

Quiet Wash Cycle

Start a load and settle in with minimal disruption. The Quiet Wash Cycle runs a regular load using the Quiet Inverter Motor, reduced spin speeds, and a unique cycle design to lower the operable dBA.

PreSoak+

Give tough stains the time they need. PreSoak+ soaks from 15

minutes to 2 hours while ActiveFall™ Wash circulates water and detergent throughout the load. When soaking finishes, the wash cycle starts automatically. No need to restart or reset.

6.1 cu. ft. IEC Capacity

Remove the Delicates Basket to fit bulky items like bedding and comforters in a single load thanks to 6.1 cu. ft. IEC of capacity.

Cold Wash Cycle

Cold Wash Cycle helps protect fabrics and cuts energy use at the same time, adjusting wash actions and time while cold water saves up to 90% of energy.*

Water Level Options

Choose to use less water for an efficient clean or more water to help break down loose soils. This option lets you customize the water level to various depths so heavily soiled clothes get an optimal clean.*

EasyView™ full-width slow-close glass lid

Enjoy a clean, streamlined look with the slow-close see-through lid that lets you easily check on your load while it’s washing.

Hybrid Electronic Controls with LCD Screen

Hybrid electronic controls pair a physical dial and dedicated buttons with a bright LCD display so every selection is clear before the cycle starts. The intuitive layout puts controls exactly where you'd expect them, with a sleek, modern design that upgrades the entire laundry experience.
