<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;30, 2014, Whirlpool Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) priced an offering of (1)&nbsp;$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.650%
Senior Notes due 2017 (the &#147;2017 Notes&#148;) and (2)&nbsp;$350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.700% Senior Notes due 2025 (the &#147;2025 Notes&#148; and, together with the 2017 Notes, the &#147;Notes&#148;). In connection with the
offering of the Notes, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters listed therein (collectively, the &#147;Underwriters&#148;),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and the Underwriters agreed severally to purchase, subject to and upon terms and conditions set forth therein, the Notes. The offering of the Notes closed on November&nbsp;4, 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of March&nbsp;20, 2000, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (successor to Citibank,

Company regarding certain legal matters with respect to the offering of the Notes, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit&nbsp;5.1 hereto. </P>

is a valid and binding obligation or is enforceable in accordance with its terms is subject to: (i)&nbsp;the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws and judicially developed doctrines in this area such as
substantive consolidation and equitable subordination; (ii)&nbsp;the effect of general principles of equity; and (iii)&nbsp;other commonly recognized statutory and judicial constraints on enforceability including statutes of limitations.
&#147;General principles of equity&#148; include but are not limited to: principles limiting the availability of specific performance and injunctive relief; principles which limit the availability of a remedy under certain circumstances where
another remedy has been elected; principles requiring reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing in the performance and enforcement of an agreement by the party seeking enforcement; principles which may permit a party to cure a material failure to
perform its obligations; and principles affording equitable defenses such as waiver, laches and estoppel. It is possible that terms in a particular contract covered by our enforceability opinion may not prove enforceable for reasons other than those
explicitly cited in this letter should an actual enforcement action be brought, but (subject to all the exceptions, qualifications, exclusions and other limitations contained in this letter) such unenforceability would not in our opinion prevent the
party entitled to enforce that contract from realizing the principal benefits purported to be provided to that party by the terms in that contract which are covered by our enforceability opinion. </P>

the State of Delaware, or the federal law of the United States where specifically referred to, and represents our opinion as to how that issue would be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court in the jurisdiction which enacted such
law. In our opinion, New York state courts would apply New York state law to resolve state law issues arising under the Transaction Documents. We express no opinion as to what law might be applied by any other courts to resolve any issue addressed
by our opinion and we express no opinion as to whether any relevant difference exists between the laws upon which our opinions are based and any other laws which may actually be applied to resolve issues which may arise under the Transaction
Documents. The manner in which any particular issue would be treated in any actual court case would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case and would also depend on how the court involved chose to exercise the wide
discretionary authority generally available to it. This letter is not intended to guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute which may arise in the future. For purposes of the opinion in numbered paragraphs&nbsp;1 and&nbsp;2, we have assumed, with
your permission and without conducting any research or investigation with respect thereto, the matters opined on in the letter delivered on the date hereof by the Corporate Secretary and Group Counsel of the Company, including the corporate power of
the Company, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the absence of any conflicts or required consents. </P>
