Product review (3 stars): SHAME ON WHIRLPOOL FOR ENGINEERING A PRODUCT TO FAIL
We purchased our front load washer just 2 years ago. It is just the two of us, so we are not constantly running the washer. (Whirlpool WFW9150WW Duet 4.0 cu.ft.) I believe the terms for this are planned obsolescence and value engineering. This product seems to have been engineered to fail. After reading the reviews, it is obvious this cracking at the bottom of the seal is not an isolated issue. Shame on Whirlpool for producing this garbage. One would think after shelling out a large sum of money for what they think is a quality name brand, one would have worry free operation for years. Not the case here. I am just glad the leaking water didn't get past the laundry room tile into the new laminate floors. This will be the last time we purchase a Whirlpool product. SHAME ON YOU WHIRLPOOL!!!
