Whirlpool Duet Washer stinks!!!! Only 8 months old-Whirlpool is all talk, no action!

Very noisy clanging noise, this video was captured 6 days before it broke down. Now I am told it will take 3-5 weeks before the parts come in to repair it. BUYER BEWARE!!!!! It has been 2 weeks since I called to initiate a repair. I was told that it will be 3-5 weeks before the back ordered parts will be in and only once the parts are in will the technician call to schedule a service call. I WILL NEVER BUY WHIRLPOOL AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY THEY MAKE LOTS OF OTHER BRAND NAMES WHICH I WILL STEER CLEAR OF AS WELL.

Thanks to both Lehnerd and Mark! You were both right and Lowes did in fact replace it as it was a lemon from the start. Whirlpool on the other hand was incredibly aloof about it and wanted me to wait 6-8 weeks for replacement parts.

Cshcrazy,

Not sure who the dumbass is or why the anger issue, but this is a spin cycle of a front loading washer. The centrifugal force causes the clothes to gravitate to the sides of the tub. Look at the brightside cshcrazy, looks like you are have the personal attributes and intellect whirlpool looks for in their employees. If you are not working there yet you should apply! I'd be willing to bet they even serve beer and peanuts at their staff picnics!!

@tbunder I have one of those (circa 2005) German made Duets. It's now 7 yrs old and still cranking out clean clothes. I've never overloaded it though. It averages about six loads per week and I only use powder HE and leave the door cracked. Are the current Duets not German? I know some models are made in Mexico but I thought some were still German made and I think one model of the Duet is actually made in USA

I paid 60 for a better machine.

I've got a whirlpool 900 and it's lasted 16 years without any problems! Only now has the bearings gone, and am getting the banging noise. It did well lasting that long anyway. It seems the more advanced they get....the more likely it is they go wrong. Mine was just a basic machine.

leaving the door closed does not cause corrosion the only reaqson a washing machine stinks is if its clogged (main cause detergent clog when using low temp washes) your machines should be like uk machines and range from 30degress to 40 -50-60-70-80-95 ) 95 being a boil wash colours shoukld be washed on 40 whites on 60 towels and tea towels boil wash this helps keep your machine clean, also wipe out the door seal everyso often this will eliminate build upof mould

@TheChancerdog1 hell yeah i love my 1995 whirlpool top loader, great machine. fuck front loaders, they dont wash clothes good enough, need that agitator.

Happens all the time... "saving the planet" with energy efficient machines that only last a year (which is all they have to last to make it through the mfg warranty) or are we? Seems the 3$ a year you save on your water and electric bill is not really a savings when you have to replace the $800+ machine when that happens day 366 after that warranty is expired. Job security for us repair people.
