The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Whirlpool Corporation
Benton Harbor, Michigan
We have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Whirlpool Corporation as of December 31, 2008
and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity
(not presented separately herein) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2008, and in our report dated February 19, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion
on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying financial statements (presented on pages 91 through 93) is fairly stated, in all material
respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Whirlpool Corporation’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission and our report dated February 19, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
