Whirlpool Duet Sport washer sucks part 3

Whirlpool Sport Duet sucks big time. It vibrates, makes noise, and shakes the whole house. Model # is WFW8300SW02

We have called Whirlpool services dept, and they have sent servicemen 3 times. All came, tighetened some bolts, replaced a part (once), and then they went away with soothing words :(

Sorry about your washer problem!But I cant say this enough,toploader,toploader,top­loader!!!

@Chris242tt you r right my friend.

What I dont understand that these well-known companies dump these products on ppl when they know they would cause horrible experience for the end users

Actually, most of these high efficiency front loaders can vibrate to the extreme, due to the high rpm's they spin, plus the flooring that they are placed on. We have an LG front loader that loved to vibrate. But I came up with a very simple fix that seems to work for our machine. Please see video Y91onCb7nSc , or just click on my name to see my videos. The relevant video will be obvious. Good luck if you decide to try it!

Loved the idea. Will try it, once it gets replaced

the bearings may be shot,I've seen top loaders do this on wooden floors,if the floors are weak they can cause problems,washers work best on cement floors.

Wow, i have the exact same washer and I can't reproduce this video, full, empty, full speed mine doesn't do this. Maybe something isn't set right?

DUDE I have this same exact washer and same exact problem!!! Found this video by trying to google ways to make it stop, funny cause it starts at the last minute that actually lasts 10 minutes... TERRIBLE WASHER!! Dryer's alright though

OMG - this video could have been taken in my laundry room. Mine used to be stacked w/ matching dryer, but it vibrated so badly, we had to un-stack the set. It makes so much noise, we can hear it spin from outside the house. It's 4 years old, been worked on about 8 or 9 times since we've owned it, and now the bearings are going out. The next machine I buy will be a top-load. On the up-side, the matching dryer has never had a service call.

This washer does suck got the 4 year plan so I deal with it. It cleans my whites fine might want to turn your temp. up on your water heater. Also it is vibrating so much cause it is not level mine did the same thing and i adjusted the legs at the bottom and there is no issues. For $30 you can get the stacking kit and put the dryer on top and you wont have issues then lol. My washer keeps getting socks stuck in it.

I hate mine as well....can't wait to get rid of it and buy a regular top-loader again. When I wash my whites, I use Tide HE and Clorox bleach.....and they still come out looking dirty. If it can't get my whites clean, imagine all the crap that's left behind on your colors!

[gerbilPROJECT]

the floor isn't level. -_-

THAT'S your problem. i've got the same problem.

[Go48beat20]

Yep my piece of $h!7 Duet does the same thing, now the stinking pump has failed and it's only 3 years old... i want my 17 year old Top loading Maytag back!!!

I have the same washer.....I have had 2 control boards replaced and a latch mechanism. I advise everyone to get Advanced Home Shield Insurance if you own a whirlpool washer/dryer....it will save you money in the long run after your warranty runs out...

take care
