I will be purchasing a new washer in the near future and want to know the cubic feet of the one I will be replacing. I have an old Whirlpool stock no. LXR7144E, model no. LXR7144EQ0, serial no. CF1603879. I have tried looking it up online and I can find parts, manuals, etc. for it but nothing list the cubic feet. Thanks for the help!

Stick a measuring device inside. Measure the depth and diameter. Convert those to feet. volume = height times (diameter / 2) ^ 2 * pi.
For example, my washer is 12 inches deep (a front loader) and 22 inches in diameter. 1 foot times (22/12 / 2)^2 * pi = 2.6 cubic feet.
To clarify:
12 inches = 1.0 feet
22 inches = 22/12 feet = 1.8333 feet
convert 1.83333 feet from diameter to radius by dividing by 2 = 0.916666 feet
1.0 x (0.91666) ^ 2 x π =
0.84027777 x π =
0.84027777 x 3.141592 =
2.63980994
