                        Report of Independent Auditors

The Trustees
Whirlpool 401(k) Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan
benefits of the Whirlpool 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related statements of changes in assets available for plan benefits for the
years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in its assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules of
investments as of December 31, 1994, and transactions or series of transactions
in excess of 5% of the current value of plan assets for the year then ended are
presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the 1994 financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 1994 financial
statements taken as a whole.

                         Notes to Financial Statements


1.  PLAN MERGER

Prior to April 1, 1993, all of the investments of the Whirlpool Savings Plan
(Savings Plan) and the Whirlpool Performance Savings Plan (Performance Savings
Plan) were held by the Whirlpool Savings Trust (Savings Trust).

Effective April 1, 1993, the Performance Savings Plan was merged into the
Savings Plan, and the net assets were transferred to the Savings Plan.  The
merged plan was renamed the Whirlpool 401(k) Plan (Plan), and the Savings Trust
was renamed the Whirlpool 401(k) Trust (Trust).  Participants in the Performance
Savings Plan immediately became participants in the Plan.  Participation and
vesting provisions under the Plan were not changed by the merger.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVESTMENTS HELD BY TRUST

All the investments of the Plan are held by the Trust.  The Corporate Trustee,
NBD Bank, is custodian of the Trust's assets. The Corporate Trustee invests all
assets of the Trust except as follows: (i) The Individual Trustees (management
of Whirlpool Corporation) direct the investment of the Whirlpool Stock Fund;
(ii) the Individual Trustees also direct the extent to which the assets credited
to the Income Fund are invested in guaranteed principal and interest contracts
with insurance companies and used to purchase wrap contracts issued by banks and
insurance companies and options, futures and other types of investments; and
(iii) the Individual Trustees may direct that a specified percentage of the
assets credited to any or all of the investment fund or funds are allocated to
one or more separate accounts within said investment funds and invested in
accordance with the direction of the Individual Trustees or an investment
manager designated by the Individual Trustees.

The Trust enters into options to hedge interest rates on certain government 
securities. At December 31, 1994, there were options outstanding to purchase and
sell $106 million of government securities expiring at various dates through 
March 6, 1995. The options are recorded at fair value and market gains and 
losses are recognized in the statement of changes in assets available for plan 
benefits.

Contributions, loan distributions and repayments, and participant withdrawals
are specifically identified to the fund or funds within the Trust to which
assets of the Plan are credited.  Investment income and related expenses of the
Trust are allocated to the investment funds based on each investment fund's
proportionate share of the current value of the Trust assets at the end of each
month.

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

The Plan's investments represent the Plan's share of the Trust's investments.
The Plan's group annuity contracts are stated at the cost of contracts purchased
plus interest accrued.  All other investments are stated at fair value, as
determined by the Corporate Trustee.

3.  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

Every full-time employee of Whirlpool Corporation and participating subsidiaries
(referred to as Employer or Whirlpool), and every part-time employee of the
Employer who completes 1,000 hours of service during his or her initial year of
employment, or a subsequent calendar year, shall be eligible to participate in
the Plan.

Participation in the Plan is voluntary.  The Plan allows each participant to
make tax-deferred contributions to the Plan, by payroll reduction, each payroll
period, in any whole percentage of eligible earnings as the participant may
elect up to and including 15%.  Such elections are made and can be adjusted by
giving notice to the Individual Trustees via the voice response system on a
daily basis, to be effective, in most cases, as of the beginning of the next
payroll period.  In addition, certain employees may make additional tax-deferred
contributions to the Plan by directing that a portion of any annual bonus due to
the participant of one or more designated bonus plans be deposited into the
Plan.  The amount of any such additional tax-deferred contributions may be
elected by the employee to equal the same percentage of any annual bonus payment
as is applied for payroll reduction purposes or in any whole percentage between
0% and 75%, as the participant elects, provided, however, that the reduction
percentage applicable to a participant who is a highly compensated participant
may not exceed 15%.

For each year, the Employer establishes performance goals which consist of five
levels of performance for the Employer.  The attainment of these goals results
in an Employer matching contribution based on that portion of each employee's
(other than exempt employees) tax-deferred contributions which do not exceed 5%
of the employee's eligible earnings, as follows:  There will be (i) no matching
contribution if company performance compared to goals is below level 1
performance; (ii) a $.25 per dollar match for level 1 performance; (iii) a $.40
per dollar match for level 2 performance; (iv) a $.50 per dollar match for
level 3 performance; (v) a $.60 per dollar match for level 4 performance; (vi) a
$.75 per dollar match for level 5 performance.  Employer matching contributions
and tax-deferred contributions are 100% vested at all times.  Exempt employees
are not eligible for Employer matching contributions.

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


3.  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

The maximum amount which a participant can deposit in the Plan in a given year
is subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended.

The value of each participant's aggregate deposits can be invested in accordance
with that participation's election in one or more of the following investment
funds:

     Index Fund

     The objective of the Index Fund is to closely match the performance of the
     Standard and Poor's 500 Index.  This fund is 100% invested in the Woodward
     Equity Index Fund.  Because the fund is a broadly diversified fund, it may
     invest in securities of Whirlpool or its subsidiaries.

     Equity Growth Fund

     The objective of the Equity Growth Fund is to achieve long-term capital
     appreciation from common stocks.  This fund is 100% invested in the IDS New
     Dimensions Fund.  Because the fund is a broadly diversified fund, it may 
     from time to time invest in securities of Whirlpool Corporation or its 
     subsidiaries.

     Whirlpool Stock Fund

     The objective of the Stock Fund is to allow participants to share in the
     appreciation in value of the Company's stock.  This fund is primarily 
     invested in common shares of Whirlpool stock.  The Fund also invests a 
     small portion of its assets in high-quality money market securities to 
     provide liquidity.

     Income Fund

     The objective of the Income Fund is to earn a consistent return with
     stability of principal.  The fund is invested in a variety of fixed income

3.  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

     Balanced Fund

     The objective of the Balanced Fund is to allow the investor to benefit from
     periods of strength in both the stock and bond markets while helping to
     reduce the risk of investing in a single market.  It allows the participant
     to utilize the expertise of a professional to make the critical asset mix
     decision.  This fund is 100% invested in the IDS Mutual Fund.  Because the
     fund is a broadly diversified fund, it may from time to time invest in
     securities of Whirlpool Corporation or its subsidiaries.

Deposits and withdrawals from each investment fund and transfers among
investment funds are made by the Trust at the direction of the Employer, based
on Plan participants' elections.  The Employer is responsible for determining
that such transactions are in accordance with the Plan.

Income, including market value adjustments, under each of these funds is
allocated to the participants' accounts daily based on each participant's equity
in the fund.

Employer matching contributions are initially invested in the Whirlpool Stock
Fund (but may subsequently be transferred to another investment fund in
accordance with provisions of the Plan).

Plan investments are made in the manner specified in the Plan and Trust and in
accordance with the stated investment policies of the respective funds.  To the
extent monies available for investment are not immediately invested, as provided
in the investment policy of each fund, such monies are temporarily invested in
short-term income investments.  All investments are made in light of a
continuing evaluation of economic and market conditions which may cause such
investment policy to vary from time to time.

The Plan makes loans to participants in amounts up to the lesser of $50,000 or
50% of a participant's equity, with a minimum loan amount of $500.  Each such
loan is allocated to a separate loan account and treated for investment purposes
as an investment of the participant who received the loan.

7.  INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service ruled on May 27, 1995 that the Plan qualifies under
section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the related
trust is not subject to tax under present income tax law.  Once qualified, the
Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its
qualification.

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective January 1, 1995, the value of each participant's aggregate deposit can
also be invested in three additional funds: Euro-Pacific Growth Fund, Heartland
Value Fund, and Woodward Money Market Fund.
