Letter to DOE General Counsel from Whirlpool Senior Counsel, Re: Implementation of Alternative Test Procedure for Large Capacity Residential Clothes Washers
After granting several waivers establishing an alternative test procedure for residential clothes washers, DOE sought the views of interested parties regarding the proper implementation of these waivers. Whirlpool responded to the DOE's inquiry with a number of comments to recommend a course of action that will help DOE ensure that all large capacity residential clothes washers are tested and rated accurately and that such tests lead to representative efficiency ratings for consumers and are comparable across manufacturers and models.
