AATCC Committee RA88, Home Laundering Technology, is aware that there may be slight variations between Whirlpool and Kenmore washer models available in the US and the world. Due to this issue, the AATCC Monograph for the Standardization of Home Laundry Test Conditions was revised for the 2006 edition of the AATCC Technical Manual to include a note stating that the conditions listed are for US models and that if the conditions are different, report the variation. This was initiated due to the difference in wash time, but relates to the agitation speed as well.
The model numbers that Whirlpool sends AATCC for international markets correlate on most of the conditions, and that is why we include those model numbers on the list of AATCC Recommended Washers and Dryers.
