Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
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, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2006 (not presented separately herein),
and in our report dated February 28, 2007, we expressed
an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
(presented on pages 31 through 34) 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, 2006, 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 28,
2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
