 Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of KIRSTEN J.

 the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:



(1) prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's behalf, and submit to the U.S.

 Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and

 any other documents necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the

 undersigned to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of the

 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation of the SEC;



(2)   execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity as an officer and/or

 director of Whirlpool Corporation (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section

 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder, and any other forms or reports

 the undersigned may be required to file in connection with the undersigned's ownership, acquisition,

 or disposition of securities of the Company;



(3)   do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which may be necessary or

 desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4, or 5, or other form or report, complete and execute

 any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely file such form or report with the United States Securities

 and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and



(4) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion

 of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the

 undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of

 the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms

 and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.



 The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and

 perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of

 any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or

 could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming

 all that such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to

 be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.  The undersigned

 acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of

 the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to

 comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.



 This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the undersigned is no longer

 required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities

 issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the

 foregoing attorneys-in-fact.



 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be executed as of

 this 18th day of December, 2017.
