The good news: Whirlpool is a huge company, and its washers, dryers and ovens work as normal appliances even if the app goes away.
The bad news: When Whirlpool shut down Yummly in 2024, the Yummly smart thermometer stopped working entirely. It showed Whirlpool will end a smart product when it no longer fits its plans.
If you own Whirlpool
- Treat the app as a bonus: the appliance works on its own.
- Be careful with Whirlpool gadgets that only work through an app.
