If you have a Whirlpool washer, you may be familiar with the Load and Go feature. This feature allows you to load up to 20 loads of laundry detergent at once, and the washer will automatically dispense the appropriate amount of detergent for each load. This can save you time and make laundry day a little bit easier. However, if you’re not sure how to enable Load and Go on your Whirlpool washer, don’t worry.
