The Load & Go™ Dispenser: Skip steps on laundry day

Determining how much detergent you need based on the wash cycle, load size and soil level of your laundry can be time-consuming and confusing. Whirlpool^® Washing Machines with the Load & Go™ Dispenser remove this step by adding the right amount of detergent automatically. Learn more about how this convenient feature can help you streamline your laundry routine.

What is a Load & Go™ Dispenser?

The Load & Go™ Dispenser featured in select Whirlpool^® Washing Machines lets you skip adding detergent to every load. The Load & Go™ Dispenser is designed to store enough detergent for 20-40 loads of laundry,¹ depending on the washer model. Simply select your load options, then let your washing machine accurately measure detergent for each load and dispense it at the right time.

How does a Whirlpool^® Washer with Load & Go™ Dispenser work?

Fill the Load & Go™ Dispenser with High Efficiency (HE) liquid laundry detergent once every 20-40 loads.
Make sure the Load & Go™ Dispenser is enabled, then select your wash cycle, soil level and other options.
Start the wash cycle.

With Intuitive Controls, you can let the washer guide you to the right cycle combinations or customize over 30 of your own to get the right type of fabric care for whatever you’re washing. Once you’ve chosen your ideal cycle, the washer will automatically add the correct amount of laundry detergent. You only need to complete step 1 when the dispenser is low or empty. Otherwise, you can simply select your settings, start the wash and go!

How often will I need to refill the Load & Go™ Dispenser?

On average, a Load & Go™ Dispenser holds 1L of laundry detergent, or enough for about 20 loads. However, this can vary depending on your washing machine model, the size and soil level of each load and the concentration level of your detergent. To refill, pull out the dispenser drawer or tray and fill it with high efficiency (HE) detergent. The location of the dispenser will vary by model.

Select models featuring a Load & Go™ XL Dispenser can take care of up to 40 loads before needing a refill. A Load & Go™ XL Plus Dispenser allows you to add fabric softener along with detergent for complete fabric care. If you’ve got piles of both mud-smeared soccer jerseys and delicate work clothes to keep up with, look for models featuring the Load & Go™ XL and XL Plus Dispensers to help you get the right amount of detergent for every load, without measuring.
