Whirlpool
Morning Fenn and a welcome from me to the AW club, great finds you have there, as with many old New In Box items its always worth checking a few things out before plugging in , am not sure if these would benefit for water in the sump pump before switching on so let the US guys who have them advise.
I would check it outdoors for hose leaks , as much as they are new we have found NIB vintage to have as crusty broken pipes over time as a vintage used model. Check the usual wiring and the plug etc and then see how it goes , looking forward to see your next steps !! Cheers, Mike | ||

Never used 2002 Whirlpool Direct Dr. washers
Just hook them up and enjoy nothing needs to be done.
Even if these machines had sat for over 30 or 40 years, they would probably still be good, modern materials are so good you don’t get the deterioration you go out with older machines when they sat for a long time. And report back on how you like them. John. | ||

I never understood why Whirlpool began to become inconsistent with the style of agitators they’d use on the late 90s and 2000s machines, one has the thin auger fins (xtra roll auger) and the next one has the thick ones. My particular model which was a 96 came with the thick fins, but every other identical model to mine I’ve ever seen online has the xtra roll thin fin auger. I guess when they were putting them together in the factory they threw on whatever was closest to them physically because it’s very inconsistent. Anyways; enough of that. Absolutely beautiful machine! What a shock to have a DIRECT DRIVE brand new in the year 2023! And two of them at that! Incredible, I don’t know how you find them. Wish I could find one that would really be the cats butt. If you ever hear of one let me know asap!
