I'm not sure what model that is, but I purchased the Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer 5 years ago. Although I like being able to put a comforter in the washer, I'll not purchase another Whirlpool product again. I'll tell you why.

This set is very expensive. I had purchased an extended warranty which has just ended. It has had a few repairs, mostly minor, but has had a board replaced. The dryer had to have three boards and some other parts replaced when new before it finally worked right. The dryer so far is still O.K.

The washer cannot be used on the Sanitary cycle anymore because I keep getting the "F 06" failure, which is a problem with the computer board having gone bad for that cycle and makes the motor overheat. It still works O.K. (so far) on the other cycles.

I am not getting this machine repaired again. We are starting to build a new home, and I'm going back to a top loader. The top loader I will be buying is going to be as simple as possible with manually selected water levels.

For the record, Whirlpool customer service leaves a great deal to be desired. Their attitude is that "a washer only lasts 5 years". My reply was that for that amount of money I expect longer than 5 years.

I know people rave about the front loaders working so much better. I beg to differ. My first front loaders were Maytags, and the Whirlpools are my second round of front loaders. I don't feel they rinse as well. Yes, I use HE soap, and only about a Tablespoon at most, sometimes half that....far less than the line in the cap. I do not fill the drum all the way full of laundry. I leave space. Towels stay soapy. In my opinion, a load like towels needs more water than what I'm seeing in there.
