Product review (1 stars): Duet washer needs to be dumped in less than 3 years
We bought a Whirlpool HE Duet front loading washer and dryer about two and one half years ago. Recently the washer sounds like a jet engine when in the spin cycle. The Whirlpool repairman just left and gave us an estimate of $1,300.00 to replace the bearing, the drum and the basket. It is designed so that the bearing rusts and the whole aparatus must be replaced, not just the bearing! Do not buy this machine without an extended warranty each year or you will regret it. Now we must add our washer to the landfill, how High Efficiency is that?
