Product Overview

The Whirlpool WWPB8502IW is an 8kg/4.5kg front load washer dryer combo finished in white with a dark grey door, designed for freestanding or built-under installation in the laundry. At just 820mm tall and 475mm deep (530mm including the door, buttons and hose at the back), it fits tight spaces without needing the top removed for installation. A brushless inverter motor drives a 1400rpm spin cycle, with touch controls and an LED display managing a full range of wash and dry programmes.

Steam Hygiene is the WWPB8502IW's signature technology, using the natural power of steam to help remove 99.99% of bacteria while softening and gently hygienising fabrics. FreshCare+ periodically releases steam and tumbles the load for up to 6 hours after a cycle ends, so laundry doesn't need to be unloaded immediately. Whirlpool appliances are distributed in Australia by Arisit Pty Limited, and the WWPB8502IW carries a 5-year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labour.
