This model is a good fit where the site needs a 20kg commercial washing machine with strong extraction, flexible programme control and options for dosing, payment and connected management.

• Suitable for sites regularly processing larger laundry loads.
• Useful where high-spin extraction is needed to reduce drying time and dryer workload.
• Suitable for commercial laundry rooms with the right floor, drainage, water and power services.
• Useful where staff need clear programme selection and language options through Compass Pro controls.
• Suitable where external dosing, payment connection or Electrolux OnE Connected may be required.

The WH6-20 is a larger commercial washer extractor, so it needs proper site planning before ordering. The key checks are workload, access, drainage, water services, floor suitability and power supply.

• Check whether 20kg capacity is the right match for the daily laundry volume.
• Confirm there is enough space for delivery, positioning, user access and future service access.
• Check that the floor can support the machine, including loads during extraction.
• Confirm that a suitable drain is available for a Ø75 mm drain valve connection.
• Check hot and cold water services, water pressure and flow rate.
• Confirm the correct electrical supply for the chosen heating configuration.

The WH6-20 is not the right fit for every site. A smaller washer may be better where loads are lighter or space is restricted, while a larger washer or a different configuration may be needed where throughput, hygiene process or site services require it.

• Choose a smaller model if the site will rarely make use of a 20kg load capacity.
• Consider a larger model if the site regularly processes heavy loads or has bottlenecks in the wash process.
• Consider a different configuration if the site needs a specialist barrier laundry process.
• Review alternatives if the site cannot support a drain valve arrangement or the required floor loading.
• Check the steam-heated or non-heated variants only where the site has suitable services and a clear reason to use them.

The standard electric heated WH6-20 is normally the main specification for UK projects, but steam-heated and non-heated variants are also available where the site infrastructure supports them. a&f can confirm the right version before order.

• Typical electric heated option: 400v, 32A, with 18.5 kW total connected load.
• Other electric supply options may be available depending on exact configuration and project requirements.
• Steam-heated and non-heated versions require different service planning and should be checked carefully.
• Water valves: DN 20, with stated water pressure range of 200 to 600 kPa.
• Drain valve: Ø75 mm, with stated draining capacity of 170 l/min.
• Net weight is 354 kg, so delivery route, final position and floor suitability should be confirmed before installation.

If this machine is replacing an older Electrolux Professional washer extractor, the main checks are capacity, drum volume, spin type, drain arrangement, power supply, water services, fixing requirements and whether existing dosing or payment equipment can be reused.

For this size and spin category, older Electrolux Professional search terms may include W5180H, W4180H and W3180H. These follow the older washer naming pattern where the series number is followed by the drum size in litres and the spin type.

Older model search terms for this product: W5180H, W4180H, W3180H.

The WH6-20 can support professional hygiene processes, but the suitability of any laundry system depends on the full process, including segregation, loading, programme choice, detergent dosing, handling and staff procedure.

• The datasheet refers to Electrolux Professional’s Global Advanced Hygiene programme package.
• The machine is connectable to Electrolux OnE Connected for hygiene validation, process management and revenue management where required.
• For care, healthcare, food or veterinary environments, the full laundry process should be reviewed before choosing equipment.
• Do not rely on the machine alone where a documented infection-control process is required.
• a&f can help confirm whether the WH6-20, a different washer size, or a more specialist configuration is the right choice for the site.
