A performance-oriented front-load washer, the Siemens WFXD8400UC combines intricate technologies with outstanding efficiency.

Equipped with five different sensors, this front-load machine can sense load size, suds level, water temperature, soil level, and load imbalance. In each case, the washer's "brain" can make adjustments to optimize the cycle. If needed, water levels are increased, temperatures are altered, rinse cycles are added, and spin direction is reversed. All this is accomplished automatically and ensures the optimal washing of each load placed in the machine.

The washer's ability to remove soil is maximized by keeping the clothing constantly in motion as it is guided through the snag-resistant stainless drum by angled paddles.

Ultra efficient, this model has not only earned an Energy Star rating, it uses less water and energy combined than most other high-efficiency washers. Large enough to handle even a king-size comforter, this model has an extra-large 18-pound capacity. With 15 wash programs individually tailored to specific needs, this model has so many cycles to choose from, you may never use them all.

Ideal for an under-counter installation, the Siemens WFXD8400UC can also be placed on a pedestal for easier loading and unloading.
